I am writing up a document on a product that includes some U.FL-LP connectors. I try to always put the full version of abbreviations when they are first mentioned and I assume U.FL and LP in the U.FL-LP radio frequency (RF) connector names are abbreviations. Please can anyone tell me what the full name is?
Electronic – What does the abbreviation U.FL-LP connector stand for

U.FL-LP is just the series-name of a particular kind of connector, made by Hirose.
Despite Hirose having patents on those connectors, U.FL compatible connectors can be found from other manufacturers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirose_U.FL).
In the datasheet, there is no indication as to what U.FL stands for. One might try to guess that U stands for micro (as in the μ symbol), LP for low profile, but there is no official indication from Hirose.
