SMT D-Sub connectors target space applications
Reducing weight and making space savings on PCBs are critical requirements for connectors in space and military avionics applications, together with ensuring straightforward implementation and operational reliability. By utilizing SMT, C&K’s D-Sub connectors do not require plated holes to be drilled into the PCB, and free up one side for use by other components, resulting in a simpler, lighter design and a miniaturized footprint overall.
Constructed from a single part of machined aluminium shell, this latest series of connectors draws on C&K’s in-house technological expertise to achieve a smaller form factor than the traditional six-part copper-alloy stamped shell method. This means they can achieve up to 50% less weight compared to standard through-hole technology (THT) connectors. This construction technology also delivers better dimensional capability.
