Ideal for use in the passenger compartment, V23145-A0101-A303 micro silent relays feature a noise level of under 50dB(A), compared with the typical 65dB(A) of a standard relay.
The MCK and MCD microminiature D connectors are available with metal (MCK) and plastic (MCD) shells and feature a very low mating force achieved by specially designed Twist/Con pin contacts.
Electrical contact occurs at many points around the periphery of the pin bundle rather than just at a few discrete points.
Both MCK and MCD connectors meet requirements of MIL-PRF-83513 for intermateability, interchangeability and performance.
Available with soldercup and solid or stranded wire termination, the devices benefit from a 3A rating per contact.
The MCK metal shell contact also comes with an interfacial seal as per MIL-R-25988.
Customised versions of both the MCK and MCD microminiature D connectors are available upon request.
Microdot high density, lightweight multipin circular connectors are ideally suited to applications where many conductors must be accommodated in a minimum of space with minimum weight.
All circular connectors feature a crimp retention method, requiring no insertion or removal tools.
Microdot standard coaxial connectors are designed to accept 50, 70 and 93ohm miniature coaxial cables.
Coaxial connectors are available as screw-on series, slide-on series or quick-connect series. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK ...
