Low-cost, medium float, board to board RF connectors

According to HUBER+SUHNER, the new barrel design replaces the pure coaxial system with a planar inner conductor structure which has resulted in a very high quality and stable connector with very stable contact crowns and good contact resistance thanks to higher contact forces.

HUBER+SUHNER’s eMFBX connectors are designed for applications where medium axial and radial misalignment are required with board-to-board distances of between 16 mm and 22.3 mm and a ± 0.8 mm axial floating range.

Suitable for the frequency range DC to 6GHz, eMFBX connectors feature excellent shielding and an RF leakage figure of ≥ 65 dB across the frequency range. Return loss figures are 22dB from DC to 3.5GHz and 20dB from 3.5GHz to 5.0GHz - both with ± 0.8 mm axial floating range.

HUBER+SUHNER has made available a starter kit with two different board distances with both snap and slider SMD connectors.
