Board-to-Board Connections: MBX/MMBX Connectors

Source: HUBER+SUHNER

MBX and MMBX connectors are specifically designed for board-to-board and board-to-module RF interconnections. They feature excellent power handling and RF performance, no mechanical stress on solder joints or piece parts, a direct board-to-board connection, compensating mechanical misalignment in axial (up to ± 1.2 mm) and radial direction, high output power, a secure mating and assembling process, and a reliable connection. 

Module housings and other parts of the BMC/MMBX board-to-board connectors no longer need to be precisely machined, lowering their overall cost. The axial float (± 1.2 mm) allows for more complex board-to-board structures. Board-to-board distances as low as 6.7 mm (in the MMBX line) enables the design of smaller modules like transceivers or remote radio units.

The mechanical design is outstanding, allowing the MMBX and MBX to cope with mechanical misalignment in radial and axial directions and still hold an excellent electrical performance. The MMBX and MBX are the answer to higher integration and miniaturization. They are the perfect solution for multiple connections from board-to-board and complex stack-ups in radio module applications. The MMBX and MBX series offers a wide range of connectors for various applications.

MBX 2nd Generation:

HUBER+SUHNER recently released the 2nd generation of MBX board-to-board connectors. Their benefits include:

  • Always given blind mateability
  • Largest connecting range in class
  • Shortest board-to-board distance in class
  • Highest quality, capacity, and flexibility via robotic assembly
  • Highest capability thanks to 100% interface control
  • Less heating up during soldering thanks to the plastic funnel

Both the standard MBX and MBX 2nd generation are available. Download the brochure for more information.

HUBER+SUHNER MMBX connectors are especially developed for board-to-board and board-to-module RF interconnections. Along with MBX the board-to-board portfolio of HUBER+SUHNER provides highest flexibility for today´s and future radio module applications. MMBX connectors offer an operation frequency up to 12.4 GHz. The series contains of a wide range of board and cable connectors with a minimum board-to-board distance of only 6.7 mm.

 

HUBER+SUHNER MBX connectors are especially developed for board-to-board and board-to-module RF interconnections. The mechanical design is outstanding, allowing the MBX to cope with mechanical misalignment in radial and axial directions and still hold an excellent electrical performance. MBX completes together with the MBX 2nd generation the board-to-board assortment of HUBER+SUHNER with its development based on the well-known board-to-board connector MMBX. MBX fulfills higher requirements with best in class axial misalignment of ±1.2 mm. MBX is the answer to higher integration and miniaturization. It is the perfect solution for multiple connections from board-to-board / board-to-module and complex stack-ups in radio module applications.

HUBER+SUHNER MFBX connectors are especially developed for board-to-board and board-to-module RF interconnections. The mechanical design is outstanding, allowing the MFBX to cope with mechanical misalignment in radial and axial directions and still hold an excellent electrical performance.Along with MBX, MBX 2nd Generation and MMBX the board-to-board portfolio of HUBER+SUHNER provides highest flexibility for today’s and future radio module applications. MFBX is a medium float board-to-board connector series which allow besides very good board-to-board shielding values very small board-to-board distances.

HUBER+SUHNER Contact-Bridge is a fully integrated horizontal board-to-board connection. The product consists of a center pin (sheet metal) and the dielectric (plastic molded). The Contact-Bridge is assembled into a based plate whereas the base plate is then also the outer contact (ground). The size of modules can be further reduced with the Contact-Bridge as a fully integrated solution. The Contact-Bridge can be used for various connections from board-to-board like RF, signal or power.
