Radiall MC-CARD Connectors

Radiall MC-CARD connector series part numbers start with the R199 prefix

The MC-Card series are microminiature, 50Ω connectors that feature snap-on mating and a frequency range of –8 GHz. The MC-Card series was designed by Radiall in the 90s. The success of the switching version made the MC-Card an excellent alternative to MMCX connectors for numerous wireless and telecom applications. In addition, the MC-Card series offers similar performance as the MMCX by featuring quick snap-on mating and unmating withstanding a minimum of 5,000 mating cycles.

The globally adopted switching connector version consists of a female edge card receptacle with an integrated switch for SMT assembly. It allows for automatic switching between two RF signal paths. This connector is mainly used for wireless PCMCIA-Cards or GPS devices to switch between the internal antenna and a higher-gain external antenna.

In addition to the standard MC-Card series, Radiall also offers a 3mm dia. MC-Card. With this version, wireless equipment can be differentiated and protected against wrong antenna connections.
