D-sub connector range includes power and press fit
Radiatron reckons the Erni TMC series of D-sub connectors offers the industry's widest choice of configurations, including power and press-fit versions for backplane applications.
There are various print options to provide an aesthetic match to surrounding systems and a selection of surface finishes can be provided.
The keypads can be printed or laser etched with optional coatings to increase durability and protect the keys.
Radiatron can also supply a simulated plastic keytop finish using a hard, clear epoxy resin.
This gives the appearance of individual keys, but without the high tooling costs normally associated with custom keyboards.
Life expectancy for the keypads is in excess of 2 million operations.
In addition to providing these customised keypads within 6-8 weeks, Radiatron offers a complete integration and assembly service for related electronics, backplanes, enclosures, cooling and power systems.
