Hirose C.FL series space-saving ultra small coaxial connector

HIROSE Electric Co. Ltd, a world-class manufacturer of innovative connector solutions, has introduced the C.FL series for 5G connections supporting 30 GHz signal applications.  

As wireless connectivity continues to expand across various industries, the demand for RF connectors is growing exponentially. The need for faster connectivity speeds and greater bandwidth is increasing; millimeter wave bans are anticipated to be used for the next generation communication standard 5G.  

Typical 3G and 4G connectors perform up to 3.5GHz. However, Hirose’s C.FL connectors support the need for 5G. They can perform up to 30 GHz, achieving low reflection and insertion loss, providing more performance capabilities for future applications than any conventional connectors.  

Hirose’s C.FL series miniature connectors are an ultra-low profile having a PCB mounting space of 2 mm x 2 mm ( L X W) and a mated height of 0.92 mm (1 mm max.). The frequency characteristics have been dramatically enhanced by reducing the dimensions of the male receptacle contact and optimizing the internal design of the plug. Moreover, with an applicable cable of ⌀0.64 mm, which is very thin and flexible, it makes it easy to route inside devices. In addition, this product is available in embossed packaging; this allows the plug and receptacles to be automatically mounted.
