Tiny coaxial cable assemblies operate from DC to 6GHz

These cables are commonly used to connect an external antenna to a mini-PCB.

The RF cable assemblies from Pasternack include 40 unique configurations with multiple coax options including 0.81, 1.13 and 1.37mm, RG178 and double shielded RG178 (RG178-DS). Both in-series and between-series cables are available in this release and the miniature UMCX, WMCX and HMCX32 snap-on connectors have mated connection heights ranging from 1.2 to 2.5mm. Pasternack’s UMCX and WMCX cable jumpers are compatible with Hirose U.FL and W.FL connectors respectively.

Ultra-miniature UMCX, WMCX and HMCX32 cable assemblies from Pasternack are offered in standard lengths from stock while custom lengths and special configurations are available upon request. Custom cables can be assembled from the UMCX 2.5 series using RG178 coax with more than a hundred compatible connector options that can be selected from Pasternack’s catalogue of coaxial connectors. Each of the cable assemblies in this offering are 100% RF and continuity tested prior to shipment.

“Pasternack is continually expanding its industry leading offering of coaxial cable assemblies, and the addition of these ultra-miniature cables gives design engineers an even greater variety of popular configurations to choose from,” says Steve Ellis, Interconnect Product Manager, Pasternack. “The low profile connectors on these cables are perfect for connecting to miniature circuit boards found in many of today’s wireless equipment.”

Pasternack’s new ultra-miniature UMCX, WMCX and HMCX32 cable assemblies are available today from stock.
