MHF3/IPEX3/wFL Discontinued

[seankovacs]

It seems all the ESP32-X-MINI-1U form factor modules use the MHF3 / wUFL connector which is being discontinued by their manufacturers. Is MHF4 compatible with MHF3 or are there plans to switch this connector on these modules?

Are there any updates available on this matter?
Multiple RF cable manufacturers are phasing out production of MHF3 cable assemblies in 2027.
Would like to know how to move ahead without the need of custom antenna design.

Jumping into this thread. Hope this is ok as the forum is barely alive.

We are an OEM design firm that visits Asia often. What are you after? Can share details of vendors that may be able to assist you. We build ~50 custom cables in Asia for the PC market. Not RF but we know that we have met shops that can build to suit in Shenzhen, etc.

Post back if interested.

Have you reviewed TAOGLAS? (Taiwan). I recall meeting with a sharp (short) lady whom I believe was the CEO at one of the HK Electronic fairs.
