Minneapolis, USA -- Omnetics, a specialist in micro and nano miniature and high reliability connectors, has expanded its product line with the addition of a standard Micro-D connector line, aimed at critical, high reliability applications including aerospace, military, and medical devices for applications including optics, guidance systems, on-board equipment, space and UAV systems.
“Our Micro-D’s are compatible with industry standard interfaces and military connector standards," comments Nick Sanders, project engineer at Omnetics. "We have designed them with fewer components to yield a more streamlined and higher quality product. They can be easily modified to fit custom applications."
The Omnetics Micro- D connectors are billed as highly rugged and compact, available from 9 to 51 contacts with termination types ranging from wire- to-wire, surface mount, solder cup and thru-hole. Built to meet and exceed the shock and vibration requirements of MIL-SPEC 83513, the connectors incorporate a proprietary one-piece flex pin design for greater shock and vibration resistance. The product's high reliability gold plated flex pin is designed for >2,000 mating cycles.
Sanders concludes, "Our new Micro-D thru-hole connectors have the most compact layout available. This design translates into space savings for circuit board layout and reduction of weight for the system. These thru-hole connectors are offered in straight and right angle versions and can be readily built with multiple hardware styles or even customized for user specified mounting conditions. In addition, we offer a variety of interchangeable surface mount Micro-D solutions to extend our board mounting possibilities.”
