Range includes many different colours with both wide and focused viewing angles, sunlight viewability and night vision goggle compatibility.
Connectors allow easy field use
Polarising tabs help provide proper mating while latching features help provide a secure connection, even under mechanical stress and vibration in industrial environments.
The MDR systems from 3M have preloaded ribbon style contacts to provide a more durable alternative to pin and socket style, high-density D-sub systems.
The system incorporates EMI and ESD shielding via metal junction shells that discharge before the contacts mate.
These are available with latch or thumb screw fixings.
Protection is completed through a range of jacketed/shielded cables either flat ribbon or round discrete wire.
The IDC wiremount connectors are available through the Abacus Group in 14 to 100 ways with a variety of mating straight and right angle board-mount receptacles for either through-hole, paste in hole, SMT or press fit processes.
Groundlock or screwlock options secure the connector to the PCB.
A further option is a unique solder bucket connector accepting 24-30AWG wire in 14-50 ways.
Abacus is able to supply the 3M MDR system as individual components or as cable assemblies designed to meet specific customer requirements.
3M's High Speed MDR introduces customised fully shielded, matched impedance cable assemblies using twinax cables providing solutions for LVDS applications that include PC and displays, industrial camera, professional broadcast and many other markets and applications.
The assemblies are designed to meet industry recognised standards such as CameraLink, VESA and DISM as well as established electrical interfaces including PanelLink, FlatLink, FPDLink and ChannelLink.
