GradConn'sI-PEX MHF 4L LK connector is a durable option for users where connection integrity is essential. The assembled combination of the I-PEX MHF 4L LK and the waterproof Nautilus connectors from GradConn makes for a formidable package. MHF 4L LK has an integrated locking mechanism to ensure the connector is secured when mated onto the PCB connector, protecting from accidental disconnection due to bump, shock, and vibration.
The patented locking plug design of the MHF 4L LK complements the MHF4 and MHF 4L series. It shares the same PCB mounted receptacles, making upgrades to a user's design a simple option, which provides sufficient clearance on the PCB to accommodate the latch mechanism.
MHF 4L LK offers a compact footprint with a mated height of 2.0 mm. The PCB mounted receptacle has an outside dimension of just 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm.
There are four GradConn cable assemblies available with the I-PEX MHF 4L LK micro connector. They are available in four different SMA connector variants with a straight jack in standard or reverse polarity with or without Nautilus IP67 and IP68 rated sealing. SMA connectors allow bulkhead mounting, and the Nautilus versions are an excellent choice for applications where dust and waterproofing are required.

MHF 4L LK is also fully intermateable with Murata HSC PCB connectors providing excellent compatibility for new and existing designs with no detriment to electrical, environmental, and mechanical performance.
