Functionality & Uses of Microminiature Connectors

Posted on December 4, 2018 Henry Fayol Connectors

Microminiature connectors offer high performance and reliability with remarkable versatility on par with their “standard” counterparts. They’re used in the aerospace, computer systems, defense, medical, and network industries and come in different configurations such as rectangular, circular, and strip. ITT Cannon, a leading manufacturer of microminiature connectors, boasts the broadest selections of micro interconnect solutions, beginning with the MDM, MDM PCB, MDMH, TMDM, MJS, MIK, and MIKQ.

  • MDM connectors are small, lightweight micro-D connectors with higher density contact configurations, 8 shell sizes ranging from 9 to 100 contacts and special arrangements for power and coaxial contacts. They utilize size 24 micropin/microsocket contacts on .050 (1.27) centers.
  • MDM PCB connectors are meant for use with flex circuitry, flat cables, printed circuit boards, and multi-layer boards. They use the standard MDM metal shell with 8 shell sizes ranging from 9 to 100 contacts. The MDM PCB can be used for high density and high reliability in board-to-board, board-to-cable, and cable-to-cable applications.
  • MDMH connectors are hermetically sealed connectors designed for use where a vacuum, inert gas, or a constant controlled pressure is required to eliminate adverse effects caused by atmospheric changes.
  • TMDM filter connectors are suited for EMI and RFI shielding in most applications. They accommodate 8 to 37 sizes and mate with standard MDM plugs.
  • MJS provides reliable interconnections for board-to-board, board-to-cable, and in-line cable-to-cable applications, accommodating up to 76 micropin/microsocket contacts.
  • MIK connectors are rugged, yet lightweight, circular connectors used for biomedical instruments and miniature black boxes. They meet MIL-DTL-83513 requirements and can withstand a temperature range of -55 ? to 125?.
  • MIKQ connectors are rugged, yet lightweight, circular connectors used for biomedical instruments, aerospace, and broadcast applications. They meet MIL-DTL-83513 requirements and can withstand a temperature range of -55 to 125?. The MIKQ has a quick-disconnect metal shell and receptacle version that can be instantaneously disconnected and provide a solid lock when engaged.
