TWIST PIN CONTACT TECHNOLOGY The Micro-D male 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 auto-guided...
