I-PEX® MHF® 4L LK Micro-Connector

GCT's range of cable assemblies with the I-PEX MHF 4L LK connector offers a durable option for customers where connection integrity is important. When assembled with waterproof Nautilus™ connectors from GCT, the combination makes for a formidable package. MHF 4L LK has an integrated locking mechanism to ensure the connector is secured when mated onto the PCB connector, protecting it from accidental disconnection due to bump, shock, and vibration.

The patented locking plug design of the MHF 4L LK complements the MHF 4 and 4L series as it shares the same PCB-mounted receptacles, making upgrades to the design a simple option provided sufficient clearance is available on the PCB to accommodate the latch mechanism.

MHF 4L LK offers a compact footprint with a mated height of 2.0 mm. The PCB-mounted receptacle has an outside dimension of just 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm.

Ten GCT cable assemblies are available with the I-PEX MHF 4L LK micro-connector, all with SMA connector variants.

The SMA variants are straight jack in standard and reverse polarity with or without Nautilus IP67/IP68 rated sealing and IP67/IP68 right-angle rear mount with standard and reverse polarity.

SMA connectors allow bulkhead mounting and the Nautilus versions are an excellent choice for applications where dust and waterproofing are required.

Other options within the Nautilus cable assembly range that offer a robust on-board connection include MHF I LK micro-connectors (such as Cable 319) featuring a locking mechanism in the widely adopted MHF 1/U.FL form factor and MMCX connectors (such as Cable 196). MHF4L LK is also fully intermateable with Murata HSC PCB connectors providing great compatibility for new and existing designs with no detriment to electrical, environmental, and mechanical performance.
