i-Fit is unique solderless terminating technology from I-PEX to terminate the coaxial cables with MHF^® series connectors. i-Fit^® is the core technology that is simple, scalable and results in MHF harness assemblies with consistent performance within a tight numerical range. The harness performance repeatability enables efficient system integration due to low variability from harness to harness. In addition, it makes the mechanization of the RF connector jumper harness production relatively quick and easy, resulting in increased efficiency and high productivity. Using custom, Fully Automated Machines (FAM), I-PEX FAMs will cut, strip, crimp, check orientation, and perform mechanical and electrical checks for large production volumes.

i-Fit^® technology results in narrower VSWR range for MHF harness Assemblies in low, medium and high operating frequencies range as compared to the similar harness assemblies terminated using solder process. The i-Fit^® technique removes the solder variability, thereby increasing electrical performance's repeatability and precision. At the same time, it can be seen that the VSWR values stay low and consistent in a tight range most of the times as compared to solder process types in images below. 

Using i-Fit^® technology, I-PEX offers harness assembly solutions in MHF^®, blunt cut, strip, and tinned configurations. Other value-added options include orientation in 90-degree increments, jacket cut-outs or windows for grounding, adding MP-A clamps, or a process at the customer's facility. I-PEX is a market leader and specializes in high-speed automated MHF^® harness production. I-PEX's custom Fully Automated Machines (FAMs) optimize every step of Harness Assembly manufacturing and inspections and enable high volume production with greater efficiency. These FAMs complete tens of thousands of harnesses daily, and the I-PEX MHF^® automated equipment achieves unparalleled Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) of less than 1.
