RS Components has announced the availability of a new range of micro-miniature industrial connectors manufactured by Norcomp, which are a cost-effective and highly capable alternative to the use of military and aerospace-rated micro-D connectors.
The 380/381/382/960 series of Micro-D connectors and cable assemblies has been designed for commercial markets including robotics, telecommunications and instrumentation equipment, and other applications where space is at a premium, yet which also require a robust shielded I/O connector system.
The connectors are available in three industry-standard sizes – 9, 15 and 25-way – as well as in vertical and right angle board-mount and cable-mount options. Offering a contact spacing of just 1,27 mm, the connectors are less than a third the size of standard D-sub connector types, yet deliver a metal-to-metal interface that provides robust mechanical connection and shield effectiveness.
Able to mate with most commercial competitor products, other features of the series include a 1 A contact rating and an operating temperature range of –55 to 85°C.
