Littelfuse Introduces Micro-D Connector Series for Aerospace Industry
Littelfuse has announced the availability of its latest C&K product – the MDMA Micro-D Connector with removable crimp contacts. This unique design innovation allows end users to easily create custom cable harnesses, a feature not currently offered by any other Micro-D connectors on the market. No soldering or shrink tubing is required.
The MDMA-MDMB Connector Series is ideal for use in many harsh environment applications, including:
- Space equipment (flight & engineering model)
- Satellite harnesses
- Launchers and payloads
- Avionics / Military
- Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) manufacturers
- Other high-performance applications
Rémi Antoine, Global Product Manager at C&K, a part of Littelfuse said, “The MDMA Micro-D connector with removable crimp contacts is a game-changer for the space industry. It offers our customers flexibility, customization, and cost savings. By ensuring only the required wires are used, there is a cost reduction for the harness manufacturer. The harness length is flexible and can be chosen to exactly suit the application, saving valuable time and weight for a space mission.”
The MDMA-MDMB’s high-performance Micropin™ contact system uses a “twist pin” spring male contact and tubular socket contact to provide removable crimp-type contacts that enable easy end-user installation and rework. Dedicated tools are available to make the retention test of each contact in the connectors and remove the contacts from the connectors for cable extraction.
