A new series of mini circular connectors developed by ITT Interconnect Solutions provides a reliable interconnect option described as capable of surviving the harsh environment typically found in aircraft, particularly in avionics and aircraft imaging systems. MIKM mini circular connectors can meet challenging conditions including extreme temperature fluctuations and provide highly reliable signal fidelity under shock and vibration loads.
ITT's MIKM mini circular series includes 7, 55 and 85 contact positions on 1.27mm (0.050in) contact spacing and feature the twist pin contact system. Secure mating is assured via a threaded coupling mechanism fully terminated to crimped gold-plated contacts. Size 24 to 32 AWG wire sizes are available. Very robust yet cost-effective, the connectors have thermoplastic dielectric insulation and are available in reverse gender configurations.
Originally developed by the company for its customers in the aircraft industry, the MIKM mini circular series suits a wide range of applications, including medical electronics, tactical communications and radar systems.
