RF Connections
The GPS and ORBCOMM VHF RF connectors are Hirose U.FL series parts. There are several mating
plugs available, allowing different coaxial cable diameters. Cable assemblies and plug adapters are
available to transition to several standard miniature RF connector types. Ideally, final antenna
connections should have a chassis-bonded ground connection.
