Range of data and signal connectors

September 2001 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Schurter's range of data and signal connectors has an established reputation for high quality and excellent reliability, says the manufacturer.

The range comprises 2,5, 3,5 and 6,3 mm two and three-pole plugs and sockets, designed for connection of low voltage AC and DC high impedance sources where a stable low contact resistance is required.

Plugs are constructed using injection moulding which ensures that no air gaps exist between conductors and also ensures a stable signal transfer and makes the unit virtually indestructible in normal daily use. Nickel-plated brass is used for the plug contacts with silver-plating used on contact terminations. Gold-plating is used on socket contact surfaces for long life and reduced contact resistance.

Typical applications include broadcast, telecommunications, data transfer (gaming machines, ticket machines) and medical.
