A micro coaxial cable with an I-PEX 20373 connector is a miniaturized, shielded interconnect built to carry high‑speed differential or single‑ended signals between tightly spaced PCBs or modules. The I‑PEX 20373 belongs to the CABLINE‑SSfamily and uses a 0.4 mmfine pitch with a vertical mating orientation. Typical configurations include 10–50 pins, with a mated height around 1.65–1.85 mm, and it is widely used for display and cameralinks in notebooks, tablets, medical devices, and flat‑panel displays. The connector’s compact form factor and robust construction make it suitable for high‑density, high‑bandwidth internal connections where space and signal integrity are critical.
At the heart of the assembly is the coaxial structure: a central conductor is surrounded by a dielectric, an outer conductor (shield), and an outer jacket. In the I‑PEX 20373, each signal contact is effectively a tiny coax, and the connector maintains this controlled impedance across all pins. The outer shieldis terminated to the connector housing, which must be well‑grounded to the PCB to preserve shielding effectiveness and reduce EMI. When mated, the receptacle and plug contacts align precisely, and the connector’s mechanical features—such as the W‑Point dual‑contactarrangement—help ensure low contact resistance and stable retention under vibration and repeated mating cycles. This architecture allows the cable to carry high‑speed signals with minimal crosstalk and insertion loss while withstanding the tight routing and dynamic motion often found in hinge or sliding mechanisms.
