To enhance the capability of the series in military Smiths Connectors new Dovetail Connector Series features C Series Probes, renowned applications, a version was developed which uses a bias ball design to guarantee for their incomparable shock and vibration performance, housed in a patent pending electrical performance especially in terms of vibration and shock. block design. The symmetrical blocks interlock to allow for simple configuration into any imaginable X-Y pattern. A multitude of probe options permit the benefits of a custom Thorough shock and vibration testing revealed that the C Series Probes passed connector design such as intermixing of power and ground functions within the same vibrations tests >15G and shock tests >50G regardless of the internal biasing technology. array. Available for immediate delivery with no tooling required, the Dovetail Connector Patent Pending During the resonance frequencies testing, the 15G input resulted in levels up to 120G eliminates the time and expense associated with typical prototype and low to medium (Radial direction) and 60G (Axial direction) at the interface between PCB and spring volume manufacturing activities. probe plunger.
