IPEX-1
by Ziisor(致哲)
A miniature coaxial connection provides a way to route an RF path from a board to an antenna cable. Ziisor's IPEX-1 is a surface-mount connector for that role, allowing the cable connection to be represented in both schematic and PCB layout. This free KiCad download includes a 4-pin symbol and the IPEX-SMD_4P-L2.6-W2.6-LS3.0 footprint with 4 pads. A 3D model accompanies the library files so the connector body can be viewed alongside nearby components. The IPEX-1 conversion has seen use by 2 ProtoFlow engineers in real designs. It can be opened directly in ProtoFlow for integration into the board.
