ADRV936x Cable Brackets

The U.FL connections on each of the ADRV9361-Z7035 and ADRV9364-Z7020 PCBs are delicate and prone to damage from clumsy users. In order to protect and preserve the board, a pair of cable brackets have been designed to limit any external force on the connection. While nothing replaces a careful and considerate user, these designs help to reduce any damage and keep the U.FL cables plugged in.

Both designs were made in a free tool, www.Tinkercad.com, and printed on several different machines during development and prototype stages. The Selective Laser Sintering done by Sculpteo has produced good quality results at reasonable prices.

  1. Low Profile U.FL Cable Holder
    1. A simple design to protect the U.FL cable connections, this print was designed to line up with the mounting holes on the PCBs for a firm, secure connection. The cutouts in the bottom of the print are designed to match the dimensions of the U.FL cable when it is mated with the connector on the PCB. I included a second brace which is flipped over so the user can see the rectangular cutouts. The user can print in what ever color pleases them (I only had green!).

      2. An early prototype in Green, and a higher quality print in blue.

  1. L Bracket Cable Holder
    1. This is a more complex design than the cable holder. This print adds to the function described in the above. A series of mounting holes is added so the SMA end of the U.FL cables can be mounted safely. Ever had a dangling wire, cable, connector short to ground and shut down or damage your system? Liar! Now you can avoid these problems by connecting up the SMA connectors to the L Bracket.
