PTFE cable options from Samtec

16 September 2009 Interconnection

Samtec recently added polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) cable options for several of its discrete wire interconnect systems. This material’s ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures, along with its low rate of outgassing, resistance to flame, abrasion and corrosion, long lifespan, and excellent dielectric properties, make PTFE cables ideally suited for avionics, military and other harsh-environment industries and applications.

Selection of PTFE cable for the following Samtec products can widen the operating temperature (compared to PVC cable) by as much as 45°C, depending on wire gauge and system:

* Tiger Eye discrete wire 1,27 mm micro pitch system with Samtec’s high reliability Tiger Eye three-finger BeCu contacts and rugged latching system (SFSD/TFSD series).

* Power Mate discrete wire system with 5,5 A per power contact on 4,19 mm pitch (PMSD/PMSS/IPBD series).

* Mini Mate discrete wire system on 2,54 mm pitch, with 3,6 A per contact (MMSD/MMSS/IPD1 series).
