Coaxial Cable Assemblies with Hirose U.FL Connectors

The most popular choices for the opposite end of the cable assembly are SMA female or FME male bulkhead connectors. These types of interface connecter allow bulkhead mounting which is achieved via a panel cut out and allows the plugging of an antenna or further extension cable on the other side of the bulkhead. These type of cable are often used to breakout from a wireless communication module, such as GSM or bluetooth.

Hirose U.FL connector features:

• Mated height: 1.9mm or 2.4mm (max 2.0mm or 2.5mm)
• PCB occupied area: 7.7 sq.mm
• Light weight: Receptacle: 15.7mg
• Right angle plug: 59.1mg
• High frequency transmission: Up to 6GHz. V.S.W.R.: 1.3 to 1.5 max., from DC to 3GHz
• Impedance (ohm): 50
• Tactile lock feeling confirms fully mated condition
• Simple mating and un-mating: Tools are available from Hirose distributors
• Temperature range: -40 to 90 degrees centigrade
• Centre Conductor Plating: Gold
• PCB mount type: SMT
• Applications: Mobile phones, PHS, Radio communications equipment, Measurement equipment, GPS, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth and any other application requiring high frequency transmission using small coaxial connector.

As an alternative to Hirose UFL GradConn offer the I-Pex MHF range. The MHF is a high quality and economical connector is intermatable with Hirose, allowing you to plug an I-PEX MHF cable assembly into a Hirose PCB connector. Customer's should test samples to approve the use of I-Pex, however GradConn have many satisfied customers after swapping from Hirose.
