Microdot MCK and MCD high density microminiature D connectors deliver a complete connector system designed for both military and aerospace applications.
Microdot MCK and MCD high density microminiature D connectors, from Tyco Electronics, deliver a complete connector system designed for both military and aerospace applications.
The range of connectors is easily adapted to a wide variety of form factors.
Rectangular and circular connectors for round and flat cables are available for high reliability applications with limited space and extreme lightweight requirements.
MCK and MCD connectors are designed to meet MIL-PRF-83513 specifications for intermateability, interchangeability and performance.
Low engaging force is achieved through the unique design of the connector's twist pin contacts.
The male contact forms a breathing helical spring, allowing electrical contact at many points around the periphery of the pin bundle rather than at a few discrete points as with conventional pin designs.
Low force twist pins exhibit a typical engaging force of 1.11N and 1.39N maximum.
The metal shell MCKs and plastic shell MCDs are available with solder cup and solid or stranded wire terminations.
MCK transition blocks are standard for printed circuit board mounting, with custom termination configurations available for both the MCK and MCD.
All connectors in the range are very durable with no known detrimental mechanical or electrical issues after 500 cycles of mating and unmating.
Both the MCKs and MCDs are especially well suited for use in miniaturised airborne and space electronics, missiles, computers and test equipment.
