8D aluminium/composite connector

15 August 2001 Interconnection

FCI's 8D connector complies with the MIL-C-38999 series III and Pr EN 3645 standard. Offered in aluminium or composite shell material, this family gives:

* A high contact density up to 128 cts (#22D, 20, 16, 12 and 8 in 9 shell sizes).

* A quick screw coupling with self-locking mechanism.

* 100% scoop-proof offering polarising options by angular positioning of keys.

* EMI enhanced protection by shielding ring and shell-to-shell bottoming.

The 8D composite connector reaches high performances in terms of resistance to salt spray (>2000 h of salt spray) and endurance (>1500 cycles, mating/unmating).

Suited for applications in aeronautics and military, marine, offshore and industrial, it is also recommended wherever weight is critical.
