In recent years, drone racing has generated great excitement all over the world by creating a world drone champions league. In Japan, there is also a professional drone racing team, DMM RAIDEN RACING, that competes with other teams around the world. The I-PEX^® MHF^® I LK Micro RF Coaxial Connector is used in their drone. We interviewed Junichi Goto, captain of DMM RAIDEN RACING, and Tetsuya Tagawa, I-PEX Connectors engineer and MHF I LK Development Team Leader, about the background of the MHF I LK in drones.

FrSky Electronic is focused on the R&D, production and sales of electronic products and embedded software in the areas of remote-control and intelligent control systems. The main product lines include transmitters, receivers, modules, flight controllers, sensors, and related embedded software. I-PEX MHF^® I and MHF^® 4 RF connectors are used in almost all transmitters and receivers developed and produced by FrSky.

The Clockwork team is dedicated to designing and developing open source portable devices. DevTerm and GameShell are its main representative products.  DevTerm is an open source portable terminal for each developer, with the I-PEX MHF^® I RF Connector on the motherboard, which connects to the antenna. GameShell is an open source portable console that connects the motherboard to the screen using I-PEX CABLINE^®-VS and CABLINE^®-VSF FPC Connectors for data transmission. Mr. Liu Hal, the chief executive/founder of Clockwork, and Mr. Yao Chongjing, the general manager/founder of Clockwork, shared their reasons why Clockwork chose I-PEX and the stories behind them.

The I-PEX MHF^® I LK Connector is the industry's first micro RF coaxial connector with a mechanical lock. This has an additional lock covering the MHF^® I Plug which helps improve retention force and enhances signal connection reliability. This solution is widely adopted by many customers especially for applications where vibration and shock are expected. 

i-Fit^® is a unique solderless terminating technology used in the I-PEX micro RF coaxial connector (MHF^®) series. The solderless production process helps to stabilize the electrical characteristics of the RF jumper harness.

The standard for mobile communication systems changes about every 10 years, and the 5th generation standard is 5G (5th generation mobile communication system). 5G, which has more functionality than 4G, will contribute to the realization of IoT where everything can be connected through the internet.
