Molex's cable assemblies feature a durable locking system that provides increased reliability and security for rugged RF applications

Strong mechanical connections require a safe and reliable fit in a continuous shock and vibration environment. Molex has a range of compact cable assemblies with a patented mechanical locking system for MHF 4L LK and MHF I LK plugs that are ideal for these applications.

Molex offers standard components for 1.13mm, 1.32mm and 1.37mm cable types. Molex's MHF 4L LK and MHF I LK cable assemblies come in a variety of standard configurations using an MHF locking plug and Molex connector interface. The durable locking system provides additional reliability and security for rugged RF applications that are subject to continuous shock and vibration. The MHF patented locking system makes the cable assembly ideal for applications that also require reliable connections under continuous shock or vibration conditions.
