Kinghelm KH-MMCX-Z: A Cost-Effective Alternative to Amphenol MMCX6251N1-3GT30G-50
2026-01-20 43

In RF and wireless system design, MMCX connectors are widely used thanks to their compact size, reliable push-on coupling, and stable 50-ohm impedance. However, as project volumes scale up, procurement teams often face challenges related to component cost and supply continuity.

 

The Kinghelm KH-MMCX-Z MMCX jack connector is designed to serve as a reliable alternative to Amphenol MMCX6251N1-3GT30G-50, offering comparable electrical and mechanical performance while significantly reducing BOM cost and improving supply flexibility.

Reference Part: Amphenol MMCX6251N1-3GT30G-50

The Amphenol MMCX6251N1-3GT30G-50 is a straight MMCX jack connector with PCB through-hole termination. It supports a maximum frequency of 6 GHz and operates over a wide temperature range from -65 °C to +165 °C.

With gold-plated brass housing, beryllium copper contacts, and PTFE insulation, it is commonly used in RF modules, antennas, and compact wireless devices. However, its unit price can become a noticeable cost factor in medium- to high-volume production.

Kinghelm KH-MMCX-Z: Form-Fit-Function Compatibility

The KH-MMCX-Z is engineered to match the core requirements of standard MMCX interfaces. It features a push-on coupling mechanism, 50 Ω characteristic impedance, and PCB mounting structure suitable for RF signal transmission.

From a mechanical and electrical standpoint, KH-MMCX-Z aligns well with existing MMCX jack footprints, allowing engineers and purchasing teams to qualify it as a drop-in alternative in many applications without redesigning the PCB.
