The Amphenol Micro-D connector series (M83513) offers proven military spec performance and reliability in rectangular and stripline micro connectors. The Micro-D connectors are available in rectangular D, strip and custom card edge configurations, with contacts on .050 (1.27) centres.
Inserts in Micro-D miniature connectors with signal and coax/power are also available. The socket contact is a precision fabricated tube. Pin and socket contacts are epoxy retained in high-grade thermoplastic insulators. The contact system has proven reliability, exceeding the performance specifications of MIL-DTL-83513.
Terminations are available in a broad range including solder cup, terminated to wire harness, vertical and right angle PCB. Plastic and metal shell versions are available in Micro-D series, in a broad range of shell finishes. A board range of mounting hardware is available (jackscrews, posts, guide pins), as well as straight and angled back-shell.
