Omnetics SureCon 360° circular connector

Omnetics has introduced the SureCon 360° - a watertight, overmoulded circular connector - to the Nano 360° series. The product uses Omnetics’ rugged Flex-Pin contact system.

Spaced on 0.64 mm centrelines, the product line is part of some of the smallest mil-quality circulars family available. Very small outer diameters range from 8.3 to 9.8 mm.

With the ability to withstand high shock and vibration while maintaining their electrical integrity, the connectors are suitable for demanding applications. Gold-plated contacts are polarised and shrouded by a liquid crystal polymer insulator. They are designed to maintain flexibility and low contact resistance.

Insulator sizes of 6, 11 and 16 contact arrangements are available in a pre-cabled format. All three sizes are available in both inline and protruding panel-mount configurations. Elaborate wire harnessing, custom overmoulding and custom shells are available on request.

Three versions of the product will be available: Commercial, Military/Aero and Medical. Each version will use a market-specific cable and plastic overmould with characteristics known to be vital for usage within that particular field.

The Commercial version will feature a standard 32 AWG cable, with grey jacket material of TPE or TPU depending on pin count. The Military/Aero version features a flame-retardant, halogen-free, 32 AWG cable with a braided shield, covered by a black TPU jacket. The Medical version features a biocompatible (per ISO10993) 32 AWG cable covered with a light-grey TPU jacket.
