PAandE offers Microcomp hermetic receptacle
PA and E
Microcomp hermetic receptacle
The aluminum compatible Microcomp hermetic receptacle from PAandE can save even more weight when using Souriau's lightweight, high-density Microcomp connector line in harsh environment applications.
Souriau's Microcomp connector range is well suited to any application that requires a lightweight, high-density rectangular connector.
Microcomp connectors typically weigh 60 per cent less and are 25 per cent smaller than standard high-density Sub-D connectors.
They can be built with as few as seven or as many as 104 contacts and have a contact pitch of 2.0 x 1.7mm2.
The Microcomp line comes in both space and military-grade configurations and each connector offers dismountable contact construction for wiring flexibility.
The aluminum compatible PAandE Microcomp hermetic receptacle is currently designed for the Microcomp 25-pin configuration and offers weight savings of up to 40 per cent when compared to stainless-steel alternatives.
It has a leak rate of less than 1x10-9cc/s helium at one atmospheric differential pressure thanks to PAandE's Kryoflex polycrystalline ceramic.
Kryoflex-sealed connectors provide superior electrical performance - up to 70 times the current-carrying capacity of conventional products - while withstanding extreme mechanical and thermal stresses.
The Microcomp hermetic receptacle provides an insulation resistance of greater than 5,000 megohms at 500V DC when tested in IAW MIL-STD 1344, Method 3003.
It is built with beryllium copper alloy contacts that are finished in nickel/gold and has an operating temperature range of -55C +170C.
The Microcomp receptacle is designed for aluminum, titanium or iron/nickel alloy applications and is available in laser-weldable or O-ring mount styles.
These receptacle connectors are also available in a double-ended bulkhead configuration for applications requiring an interconnection on both sides.
