Introduction to Micro-D connectors CIRCULAR MICRO-D: SMALL AND EASY TO USE EXPERTISE IN CABLING AND ASSEMBLIES The Circular Micro-D Connector range benefits from the expertise in the AXON’ D-Line® MIL-DTL-83513 D-shape connectors and features easy-to-use connect and disconnect functionality. The MIL-DTL-83513 standard dictates the design and performance for Micro-D connectors. These small connectors meet the requirements of the most demanding applications and harsh environments. Military equipment, research centres and on-board electronics are just a few examples. Despite their high pin...

TWIST PIN CONTACT TECHNOLOGY The male Micro-D contact is made up of 10 strands of beryllium-copper and copper alloy twisted together, welded then bumped . These sprung strands are in fact compressed during insertion into the turned female contact and therefore a high number of electrical contact points is permanently assured, while retaining flexibility and ease of insertion/ extraction . The plating of these contacts is a minimum of 1. 27 microns of gold in accordance with MIL-G-45204 type 2, class 1, and this gives additional operational security . Furthermore, the Twist Pin contact is...
