MS-162 Series
2006.2
■Features
1. Low insertion loss
0.08 dB typical at 1 GHz
0.12 dB typical at 2 GHz
(not mated with the plug)
2. Space-saving design
3.5 mm x 3.1 mm occupied board space.
3. Low profile
2.5 mm max. protrusion above the board.
4. Lightweight
0.044 g total weight
5. Durability

6. Critical area protection
MS-162 (Receptacle) contact has nickel plating areas to
prevent solder wicking into critical areas.
7. Board placement with automatic equipment.
Packaged on tape-and-reel.
8. Self alignment
When mating, plug and receptacle will self align in
horizontal axis within 0.5mm.
9. RoHS compliant
All components and materials comply with the
requirements of the EU Directive 2002/95/EC.
■Applications
*Wireless communication modules (Bluetooth, WLAN,
UWB, ZigBee)
*Portable terminals, notebook computers, ETC, POS
terminals, GPS terminals, PDA, and any small devices
requiring verification of antenna/circuit performance and
re-direction of the transmission.
■Overview
Designed to be used as the interface antenna
connection for portable terminal devices as well
as circuit testing on microwave boards (DC to
10GHz) the coaxial switch offers high performace,
low loss, extremely high durability and reliability,
in a small and lightweight package.
Normally closed, the circuit is re-directed to the
plug side by the mating of the plug with the
receptacle.
