Omnetics SureCon 360° circular connector

Click2Contact

The SureCon 360° watertight, overmoulded circular connector has been added to the Omnetics Nano 360° series. The product uses the company’s rugged and reliable Flex-Pin contact system.

Spaced on 0.025″ (0.64 mm) centre lines, the 360° line is part of the claimed smallest mil-quality circulars family available. Extremely small outer diameters range from 0.325″ (8.3 mm) to 0.384″ (9.8 mm).

With the ability to withstand high shock and vibration while maintaining their electrical integrity, these connectors are suitable for the most demanding applications. Gold-plated contacts are polarised and shrouded by a unique liquid crystal polymer insulator, and specifically designed to maintain flexibility and low contact resistance, which is vital in the interconnect arena. Insulator sizes of 6, 11 and 16 contact arrangements are available in a pre-cabled format. All three sizes are available in both inline and protruding panel-mount configurations. Elaborate wire harnessing, custom overmoulding and custom shells are also available on request.

Three versions will be available: Commercial, Military/Aero and Medical.  Each version will use a market-specific cable and plastic overmould with characteristics known to be vital for usage within that particular field.

The Commercial version will feature a standard 32 AWG cable, with a grey jacket material of TPE or TPU depending on pin count.

The Military/Aero version features a flame-retardant, halogen-free 32 AWG cable with a braided shield, covered by a black TPU jacket.

The Medical version features a bio-compatible (per ISO10993) 32 AWG cable, covered with a light-grey TPU jacket.

Electrical specifications are:  current - 1 A per contact; dielectric withstanding voltage - 250 VAC at sea level; insulation resistance - 5000 MΩ min at 100 VDC; contact resistance - 25 mΩ (25 mV) max at 1.0 A; temperature -55 to 85°C; vibration - 20 Gs, no discontinuity greater than 10 ns; shock - 100 Gs, no discontinuity greater than 10 ns.
