• Both connectors are designed with a lock-snap mechanism  that makes it possible to rotate the antennas 360 degrees.
• Both are frequently used with GPS devices. 

MCX (micro coaxial) connectors are coaxial RF connectors that have a snap-on interface and a 50 Ohm impedance. They offer broadband capability from DC to 6 GHz. The contact surfaces are gold-plated. They have the same inner contact and insulator dimensions as the SMB connector but are 30% smaller.

• MCX and the smaller MMCX version are frequently used to connect external antennas to GPS receivers. They are also common on USB DVB-T tuners for computers and laptops, to connect an external antenna to the tuner.  MCX is the external antenna port for Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.
• The outer diameter of the MCX male is approximately 3.6 mm or 0.140 inch. MCX male is also called MCX plug.
• Our MCX connectors are precision machined and gold-plated for low loss.
• MCX connectors are much smaller than SMA connectors: Smaller by 30% in diameter compared to SMA coaxial RF connectors.

MMCX Connector Characteristics

The small diameter of MMCX makes miniaturization of the hardware of the wireless networks even more efficient. They will easily snap on to the jack of a router board or mini PCI card and will also easily snap off when you need them to. The connectors are smaller than the original MCX and can be crimped onto RG 178, RG 316, or RG 174 coaxial cables. 

The cables are flexible thin and comfortable yet they can stand up to high vibration conditions without getting damaged or disconnecting. You can also quickly and easily swap them out without damaging them. MMCX connectors are typically made of stainless steel or brass with nickel plating for the solder and gold plating for the contacts.

Antennas with MMCX connectors use MMCX connectors to provide a direct VTX connection. They are small, lightweight and efficient antennas that come with RF pathway technologies that are the reason for their light small profiles.  While they are lightweight and small, they give great performance and will outperform many other antennas with other connector type.  This means that you get a strong and clear signal on a wide range of frequencies for your first-person view (FPV) applications.
