Omnetics Latching Micro-D connector with squeeze-latch system

Omnetics has launched the Latching Micro-D connector with a squeeze-latch system. The push-and-latch design reduces the time and effort required to plug a Micro-D connector into a circuit and allows for quick cable connections to rack and panel equipment. It also eliminates the use of screwdrivers and hand tools.

The device is suitable for use in unmanned vehicle systems, optical surveillance and portable electronics, where quick connect and disconnect methods are required for miniaturised instruments. It is also suitable for medical devices such as surgery tools, ultrasound monitors and optical scopes, which require frequent connection and removal from instrument panels.

The small, lightweight product has passed shock and vibration testing, including pull tests exceeding 100 pound pull force. The panel-mount connectors offer options for connecting inside the instrument, including PC board lead frames and direct wiring.

The connector is rugged in a compact design using aluminium alloy 6061 shells with nickel plating and contact counts from nine to 51 positions. Omnetics uses a one-piece beryllium copper flex pin design, plated with nickel/gold for robust service, which operates from -55 to +125°C. Wired connectors include 26 AWG Teflon insulated copper wire that provides up to 3 A per line.

A wide range of wire count and cables can be designed into custom back-shells for long-range ruggedised service. Cable systems include braided shields to reduce electrical noise interference (EMI) and crosstalk.
