I-PEX® MHF® I Micro-Coax Cable Assemblies

Lighthorse Technologies Inc.’s micro-coax cable assemblies with advanced I-PEX MHF I connectors provide an excellent solution for electronic devices with limited space. These connectors are capable of handling high-frequency signals up to 9 GHz, making them ideal for a wide range of wireless communication protocols. Whether it's Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, 5G, 4G LTE, or other wireless technologies, these connectors ensure reliable and efficient signal transmission. They deliver exceptional signal integrity and minimal insertion loss, guaranteeing high-quality performance in data transfer. They are designed to seamlessly integrate with surface-mount technology (SMT) and can be easily mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs). This feature simplifies the assembly process, enabling efficient manufacturing workflows. With their snap-on mating mechanism, the connectors allow for quick and secure connections, eliminating the need for soldering or additional tools. This streamlines the installation process, saving time and effort.

I-PEX MHF I micro-coax cable assemblies are available in multiple cable types, and they exhibit exceptional flexibility and can fit seamlessly into any environment. The 0.81 mmØ coax is the thinnest cable offered and features great performance for its small size. The 1.13 mmØ coax is a robust cable and is commonly used in many wireless and electronic applications. The 1.17 LLmmØ coax features an extra layer of low-loss shielding, reducing insertion loss and increasing performance over longer lengths. The 1.32 DmmØ is a double-shielded cable that provides incredible protection from RF interference. The 1.37 mmØ provides a compact and reliable solution for high-frequency signal transmission in electronic devices. The RG-178 coax is reliable and efficient for signal transmission in a compact form factor. The maximum mated height of the MHF I connector is 2.5 mm on all cable types. With their compact design, these micro-coax cable assemblies offer a seamless installation experience and effortless cable management for small electronic devices. These micro-coax cable assemblies are available in various lengths and orientations to fit many engineering design needs.
