As demanding compact systems require miniaturized components, engineers are challenged with finding small connectors that deliver rugged performance. These products must operate in various environmental conditions and remain reliable even with mechanical stresses such as vibration and shock. Also, to maintain electrical integrity, ingress issues must be addressed.
Designers need interconnects that provide space savings for compact systems while maintaining high performance levels in rigorous environments. Manufacturers require connector features that help overcome design constraints as well as a simplified selection for streamlining inventories. For reliability, environmental sealing and vibration resistance in extreme conditions are also necessary.
Developed for aerospace, defense and high-reliability industrial systems, AirBorn TriMate Rugged Circular Connectors provide next-generation interconnect performance in a smaller and lighter footprint than MIL-DTL-38999 legacy connectors. Featuring a unique system with three distinct plug options that all mate with a single receptacle, AirBorn TriMate connectors enable manufacturers to streamline their inventories and bill of materials (BOM), while increasing design flexibility. Offering high-vibration resistance, waterproof sealing to MIL-STD-810 (IP6K9K) and compatibility with MIL-DTL-39029 crimp contacts, these robust connectors ensure exceptional reliability even under harsh conditions.
