Golden Navigation: How to distinguish MMCX and MCX connectors?

During the part selection or product development process, R&D personnel will inevitably encounter various types of problems. The editors of Jinhangbiao will assist customers to solve problems every day, whether there are inquiries about expired materials, replacement/allocation of better solutions, support in finding outlier materials, BOM risk analysis and assessment, material supply risk assessment, or development/evaluation tool recommendations.

Among the many questions, every weekgolden navigation markThe editor will select two cases to share with you.

The following are cases shared this week:

   Question 1: How to distinguish between MMCX andMCX connector？

Tag: #connector##MMCX##MCX#

The Golden Navigation Engineer proposed:

MMCX (Micro-MiniatureCoaxial) micro coaxial connector is similar to MCX coaxial RF connector, has the same function, but is smaller than MCX. Both comply with European CDCC22000 specifications.

Products of different brands will have subtle differences. Customers can check the original product descriptions by themselves.

Question 2: Why are the surfaces of some metal connectors not as smooth as those of the same model? What happened?

Tag: #metalconnector##passivation#

The Golden Navigation Engineer proposed:

Sometimes, manufacturers will perform special passivation treatment on metal materials during the production process to make the metal surface better resistant to corrosion and oxidation. This passivation treatment will not affect the material and shape of the metal, and also maintains the original properties of the material. Although the surface gloss is slightly different, it does not affect use at all.
