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.
