Its gold-plated brass contacts maintain low resistance for enhanced performance in both commercial and industrial environments.

Designed for Tight Spaces and Easy Installation

The right-angle, compact design of the MCX Male connector allows seamless integration in space-constrained setups. The crimp-type installation streamlines mounting to RG316 and compatible cables, ensuring a robust, vibration-resistant fit that can withstand over 500 mating cycles.

Durable Materials for Long-Term Performance

With a brass exterior and PTFE insulation, this connector is built to handle extreme operating temperatures from -65C to +165C and humidity up to 95% RH. The gold-plated surfaces prevent corrosion, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications requiring long-term reliability.

FAQs of MCX MALE RIGHT ANGLE CRIMP FOR RG316 CABLE:

Q: How is the MCX Male Right Angle Crimp connector installed onto an RG316 cable?

A: The connector uses a crimp installation process. After preparing the RG316 (or compatible) cable, the connector is fitted and crimped using appropriate dies, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical connection.

Q: What benefits does the gold plating offer for contact and shield materials?

A: Gold plating provides excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance (center 5 mOhm, outer 2 mOhm), leading to stable signal transmission and extended connector lifespan in demanding environments.

Q: When should I choose a right angle connector over a straight one?

A: Right angle connectors are preferred when space is limited and cable routing needs to be perpendicular to mating surfaces, such as inside compact enclosures or close-quarter installations.

Q: Where can this connector be used?

A: It is suitable for wireless, broadcast, telecommunication, antenna instrumentation, and microwave circuit applications, making it ideal for both professional and industrial setups.

Q: What types of cables are compatible with this MCX connector?

A: This connector fits RG316 cable as standard and is also compatible with RG174, RG188, and RG179 cables, provided proper crimping dies are used during installation.

Q: How does the snap-on locking type contribute to the installation process?

A: Snap-on locking provides quick and secure mating and un-mating, allowing fast assembly and reliable retention, especially valuable in time-sensitive or high-volume applications.

Q: Can the connector withstand harsh environmental conditions?

A: Yes, the brass and PTFE build, combined with rated storage and operating temperatures (-65C to +165C), humidity up to 95%, and high dielectric strength, ensure consistent performance in challenging environments.
