Omnetics Micro miniature circular connectors

Click2Contact

Omnetics micro-sized (0.50″ pitch) circular connectors are available from five to 39 contacts. The connectors are available in compact metal or liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulators, offering designers the ability to reduce size and weight for circuits requiring multiple pin interconnections systems. Applications include mobile robotic equipment, handheld electronics, future soldier systems and UAVs.

The current rating is set for up to 3 A per contact with a dielectric withstand voltage of 600 V and insulation resistance of 5000 MΩ at 500 VDC. The connectors are designed to perform consistently up through 20 G of vibration, with no discontinuities greater than 1 um, and pass a 50 G level of shock.

Metal shells and plating options include nickel, brass, stainless steel and black oxide finishes. Shielded cabling is banded to the metal shells, giving good EMI protection. Standard and custom back shells are available, as well as pre-moulded strain reliefs to help users fit the size and shape of the cable attached.

The designer can specify mixed signal formats to reduce size, shape and weight of the interconnection systems. When combining two connectors using different pin types or pin sizes, inside one insulator/shell, the designer has reduced the number of outer shells and concentrated the signal and power entry area into the instrument. This improves the miniaturisation of the equipment involved.
