Vibration-Proof RF Solutions for UAV & Robotics

Kaweei specializes in high-reliability micro-coaxial cable assemblies designed for dynamic environments like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones. This specific assembly features the widely used IPEX (MHF1 equivalent) connector, enhanced with a mechanical locking mechanism to prevent signal loss caused by in-flight vibration.

Component Spec Technical Detail Kaweei Assembly Value
RF Interface IPEX / MHF1 / U.FL Compatible Precision Termination: We use high-precision automated crimping to ensure the center conductor and shield are perfectly terminated, minimizing VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio).
Secure Retention Mechanical Locker Anti-Drop Solution: Standard IPEX connectors can pop off under vibration. We install a specialized mechanical latch/locker over the connector head, physically securing it to the PCB receptacle.
Cable Medium 1.37mm Micro Coax Optimized Balance: We source high-quality 1.37mm cable, which offers lower signal attenuation (loss) and higher mechanical strength compared to the thinner 1.13mm standard wire.
Customization Length & Orientation Whether you need 50mm or 500mm, we cut to strict tolerances. We can also orient the connectors (90°/180°) relative to each other to facilitate stress-free installation inside tight fuselages.
Signal Quality 50 Ohm Impedance We test continuity and RF performance to ensure the assembly meets the impedance requirements for stable video transmission and telemetry control.

Solving the "Disconnect" Risk in Flight

In the UAV industry, a loose connector means a crashed drone. Kaweei transforms standard RF components into mission-critical assemblies:

  • Installation Ready: We deliver the cable with the lockers pre-positioned or pre-locked (depending on type), simplifying your assembly line process.
  • Micro-Processing: processing 1.37mm coaxial cable requires specialized stripping equipment to avoid damaging the delicate internal braiding. Our automated process guarantees consistency.
  • Cost-Effective Equivalents: We can source high-quality equivalent connectors that match the performance of major brands (like Hirose or I-PEX) but offer better lead times and cost structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the mechanical locker necessary for this IPEX cable assembly?

Standard IPEX/MHF1 connectors rely on friction to stay connected. In high-vibration applications like UAVs (drones) or robotics, this friction is often insufficient, causing the connector to pop off during operation. The mechanical locker adds a physical latch that secures the connector to the board, preventing accidental disconnection and signal loss.

What is the advantage of using 1.37mm cable over the standard 1.13mm?

1.37mm coaxial cable has a thicker core and insulation than 1.13mm. This results in lower signal loss (attenuation) over longer distances, which is critical for maintaining strong video feeds or control signals. It also offers better mechanical tensile strength, making the harness more durable.

Can you customize the cable length and connector types?

Yes. As a custom cable assembly manufacturer, we cut the cable to your exact length requirements (down to the millimeter). We can also terminate the other end with a different connector (such as SMA, RP-SMA, or MMCX) to act as an adapter pigtail for your antenna systems.
