CX 50 RF ILME Female crimp coaxial contacts 50 OHM

Why Choose the ILME CX50RF Female 50 Ohm Coaxial Crimp Contact?

The ILME CX50RF is a precision female 50 Ω coaxial crimp contact designed for high-frequency signal transmission within the ILME MIXO modular connector system. Manufactured for use with compatible ILME CX 04 R coaxial modules, it enables coaxial communication and signal circuits to be incorporated into robust heavy-duty industrial connector assemblies.

Designed in accordance with the DIN 41626 coaxial contact format, the CX50RF supports frequencies from DC to 6 GHz. Its high-frequency characteristics include return loss of at least 21 dB from DC to 2 GHz and at least 19 dB from 2 to 6 GHz, helping maintain dependable signal integrity in industrial communication, measurement and control applications.

The CX50RF is a gold-finished female contact with crimp termination and is designed for 50 Ω RG 316/U coaxial cable with a nominal external diameter of 2.49 ±0.1 mm. When installed in the appropriate ILME CX 04 RF modular insert, it provides a compact solution for integrating multiple coaxial channels alongside other MIXO power, control, data and pneumatic connections.

High-Frequency 50 Ohm Connectivity for Industrial Systems

The ILME CX50RF enables 50 Ω coaxial signals to be routed through an industrial MIXO connector without requiring a separate external coaxial connection. The CX 04 R modular system accommodates up to four coaxial contacts, allowing multiple RF or high-frequency signal channels to be incorporated into a configurable heavy-duty connector assembly.

For correct installation, ILME recommends the COPZ crimping tool for CX 50 RF/RM and CX 75 RF/RM coaxial contacts. The centre conductor is crimped separately before the cable shield is positioned around the rear contact body and secured with the outer brass sleeve, creating a mechanically robust coaxial termination while maintaining the required shielding arrangement.
