Erni's series TMC subminiature connectors and high-performance multipin, two-piece connectors, are available in five standard sizes to accommodate 9, 15, 25, 37 or 50 contacts. As these connectors are used in all branches of the electronic and electromechanical industries, they are offered with solder wire wrap or press-in terminations. Straight and right-angled dip-solder terminations are available for direct mounting on PCBs.
Each connector consists of a male part (P) and female part (S). On the mating side the connector is equipped with the well-known trapezoidal protective collar to provide mechanical protection against any twisting or unintentional touching of the contact elements. The contacts are gold-plated in the contact area and terminations may either be gold-plated or tin-plated.
A particular characteristic of Erni connectors is the high degree of contact reliability which is achieved through the special design of the contact elements, resulting in extremely low and constant contact resistance. In respect of resistance to vibration, there is no evidence of resonance effects on the female elements so that even severe shock and vibration does not disturb the reliability of the contacts.
Tapered entries ensure easy and reliable entry of the male contact pins into the female counterparts. And for special applications (rack mounting) 'float-mounting' connectors are available. Erni cable housings (hoods) with screw lock slide or latches complement the range.
