Amphenol RF Introduces Non Magnetic MCX Connector Portfolio for Medical, Quantum and Wireless Applications

Amphenol RF announced the expansion of its non-magnetic MCX product series with additional coaxial connector configurations. These connectors are designed with non-ferrous materials and plating to reduce magnetic interference in sensitive applications. Non-magnetic MCX connectors are specified to have electrical characteristics comparable to standard options and are intended for use in environments such as medical equipment, quantum computing components and wireless modules.

The new non-magnetic MCX connectors are available in straight and right-angle plug and jack configurations, with through-hole and surface-mount options. They are manufactured with gold- or white-bronze-plated beryllium copper bodies and contacts. These connectors feature an 'NM' marking to identify them as non-magnetic products and reduce the risk of mix-ups during the installation of multiple components. 

These connectors join a broader portfolio of non-magnetic RF solutions, which includes other standard interfaces such as MMCX, SMB, SMP and SMPM. Non-magnetic interconnects are used in systems operating in strong magnetic fields to prevent distortion and protect sensitive electronics.
