High-temperature connectors go down the hole
Rectangular and metal circular connector families have operating temperature ranges up to 200C for use in petroleum industry applications.
Connectors are sealed with ceramics
Each contact is sealed with a proprietary dispersion-strengthened, devitrifying polycrystalline ceramic compound that offers performance above and beyond conventional glass seals.
The ribbon and single-row connectors align on a 25 thousandths inch pitch, creating a predictable and repeatable impedance interconnecting cable system for the transmission of sensitive information.
Additional shielding, available in the form of wrap-around tape, also helps reduce EMI sensitivity to potentially noisy adjoining circuits in compact electronic modules.
Rugged, heat insensitive, dependable Teflon-insulated cables adjust to flex and bend radiuses without cracking or damage Comments Worldwide Sales Director, Robert Stanton: "Military, aerospace and other electronic OEMs are increasing the density and functionality of their electronic systems".
"New projects and refits alike are demanding better performance in smaller envelopes, and these impedance-matched cable assemblies combine high signal integrity with miniature size and tough durability".
Applications include the capture and transmission of photographic imagery from scanning cameras in UAVs or other reconnaissance systems.
Omnetics' controlled impedance systems have also been used to connect two modules in tandem to store Cache memory data and other bit stream data transmission, such as in advanced parallel print systems.
