Dura-Con Catalogue SOLUTIONS THAT CONNECT 2012 EDITION Dura-Con Micro D Connectors WEIGHT AND SPACE Dense centreline spacing and lightweight materials make Dura-Con the ideal connector where weight and space must be kept to a minimum while maintaining maximum reliability. SHOCK AND VIBRATION The Cinch Dura-Con contact, due to its low mass, provides electrical continuity under extreme conditions of shock and vibration. HIGH RELIABILITY TWIST PIN CONTACT The heart of the Dura-Con system is the twist pin contact. This contact is made from a precision miniature spring cable with a welded tip. The expanded cable creates a helix of seven spring members around the pin maintaining contact with the socket no matter what radial forces are applied. This spring cable can withstand many flex cycles without exhibiting any evidence of metal fatigue. Reliable mating is further ensured by protecting the pin contact in a tightly controlled recessed cavity. APPLICAAPPLICATITIONSONS Cinch Dura-Con connectors are MIL-DTL-83513 qualified and are used in missile systems, avionics, radar, minefield, space defence and many other military applications where reliability is crucial. This highly adaptable design has also seen many commercial applications including medical, telecommunications, computer, down-hole and transportation. TERMINATION OPTIONS Insulated Wire Available in 24 to 30 gauge wire at custom lengths specified by the customer. Uninsulated Wire Allows greater flexibility when installing the connector. Available in 24 to 28 gauge wire. Solder Cups Used in applications that require the lowest contact resistance and require termination by the customer 2
