The Pinnacle of Connector Performance
A Robust Connector for the Most Demanding “Real Life” Test and Measurement Applications
Introduction
APEX connectors are designed to provide optimum performance in small I/O test and measurement applications. APEX connector modules are unmatched for strength, stability and performance when compared to the typical molded plastic alternatives. APEX aluminum back shells are designed to truly withstand the rigors of real-life applications. When performance and reliability are your primary metrics, APEX is the right choice.
APEX is available in a variety of configurations, offering HD signal, coax and power options.
At the heart of the APEX performance is MAC Panel’s unique 1mm signal contact. With a 1mm cross section it offers superior electrical performance over the traditional standard 0.6mm contacts and is significantly stronger; in fact, more than 350% stronger, making it far less susceptible to damage in real world applications.
Advantages of APEX:
- Extremely Robust Design
- A choice of termination types
- Wide variety of configuration options
- Excellent Signal Integrity
- Simple Half Turn Engagement
- Geometric features prevent incorrect connector engagement
- Tooling Pins Provide Precise Contact Alignment
- Machined from High Grade Epoxy and Aluminum
Flexible Options:
With many configuration options to choose from such as contacts, back shell, mounting styles and density variations, APEX is one of the most flexible small-footprint connectors in the field of electronic test.

Termination Options
All APEX plugs and sockets have the option of either cabled connections or PCB terminations, offering maximum design flexibility. Our unique 1mm signal contacts accept 20 awg to 24 awg cable sizes. Our APEX PCB plugs and sockets come fully populated with contacts and are designed for simple mounting into PCB headers.
Cable Terminations
Our Cabled Connections can accept 20-24 awg cable sizes. We also offer strain relief brackets to to reduce wear and tear on the termination points and cables on the socket side (shown in the photo).
PCB Mount
We fully populate our PCB style plugs and sockets and are designed for simple mounting into PCB headers.

We carry both micro and mini coax contacts. Details below:
- Micro-coax contact – 2 GHZ 50 ohms
- Mini-coax contact- up to 1.5 GHZ 50 ohms
All APEX backshells incorporate high reliability with ease of use. Manufactured from high
grade aluminum and powder coated they are designed to last.
All styles allow ease of assembly by incorporated a cable clamp that remains
in place when the cover is removed. This simplifies assembly and maintenance.
