Aerco launches signal data connectors

Suitable for PCB and cable-mounted applications up to 4A, the HMD range provides high levels of protection against moisture and salt fog.

The HMD series is for use in applications such as communications, displays, in-flight entertainment, monitoring and control systems in military and civil aircraft, UAVs and all types of aerospace vehicles.

They will also find use in transport, marine, industrial, test and measurement equipment, missiles, auto-sport and other industries where weight and space savings are critical.

Available for both cable-to-cable and PCB-to-cable connections, these robust connectors are fully sealed with a plastic insulator, while a potted backshell protects the cable terminations and a shrouded insulator prevents the pins from being accidentally damaged.

The PCB terminations are also sealed, eliminating the need for masking if a conformal coating is required.

Based on the company's Hyperboloid contact technology, these connectors are available in 5-, 9-, 15-, 21-, 25-, 31-, 37- and 51-way options with 0.6mm diameter contacts, are resistant to shock and vibration and eliminate fretting, providing reduced wear rates that help in reducing system failure and downtime.

HMD PCB connectors are designed as form-fit replacements for standard micro-D connectors.
