The connector family was created by the Quick Lock Formula Alliance, which consists of Huber+Suhner, Radiall, Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik, and Amphenol.

This design can save much handling time because it allows quick mating and demating without tools.

Due to the smaller overall size, it can save the operating space and allows for high density arrangement.

To make cable routing easier, it can rotate 360 degrees after installation.

Since an industry standard for quick-locking SMA and N connectors has yet to be established, varying designs are currently being manufactured.
