MCX PCB jacks are available in straight, right-angle, or edge-mount configurations, with options for surface or through-hole mounting. Are manufactured from machined brass, and plated gold or tin for solderability. Center contacts are made from beryllium copper and are gold-plated. MCX cable plugs, designed for RG-178 (RG-196) and RG-174 (RG-188, RG-316) type cables, are available in straight and right-angle configurations. Connector housings are made from machined brass, with beryllium copper outer contacts for secure mating. Housings and ferrules are nickel-plated for durability, with outer and center contacts plated gold. These 50ohm MCX connectors are designed to perform at frequencies up to 6GHz, with VSWR being 1.1 (max) at 2.5GHz, measured for right-angle configurations.

NeoScale high-speed modular mezzanine connector now delivers faster data rates and improved performance. Offers clean signal integrity at data rates of 56Gbps NRZ. Composed of a vertical plug and vertical receptacle, with a patented modular triad wafer design for custom PCB routing in high-density applications. Patented PCB attachment method delivers robust solder joints. Is composed of three pins per differential pair—two signal pins and one shield pin. Each triad is a standalone, shielded, 56-Gbps-capable differential pair or an 8A power feed. Triads can be optimized for signals supporting high-speed 85 Ohm or 100 Ohm differential pairs, high-speed single-ended transmissions, low-speed single-ended or control signals, and power pins. Blind mateable with rugged triads for multiple connectors. Come in 12 to 42mm stack heights; circuit sizes of 8 to 300 triad wafers in 2-, 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-row configurations; and 85 or 100 Ohm impedance to provide optimal design flexibility. Customized versions available, such as 10 and 45mm stack heights.
