DSCC Approves Tyco Electronics MIL-DTL-24308 Connectors
Zinc Plated Connector Shells Introduced
HARRISBURG, Pa. - June 18, 2007 - Tyco Electronics Corporation recently obtained approval from the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) for MIL-DTL-24308 connectors with zinc plating and chromate coating. This most recent approval from DSCC is for roughly 90 part numbers and includes printed circuit board-mount plug and receptacle connectors in vertical and right angle configurations. All of the part numbers in this approval are part of Tyco Electronics' series 109, standard density D-sub miniature connector line. The connectors incorporate size 20 contacts and are suitable for use in a range of military, aerospace, commercial and industrial applications.
The connectors have a low profile height and utilize a screw-machined contact system. With their multiple points of contact, screw-machined contacts are typically able to carry more current than traditional stamped and formed contacts. Additionally, the screw-machined contacts offer enhanced ruggedness for the harsh environments often found in military test equipment, ground service instrumentation and in-flight entertainment systems.
This product is RoHS compliant and in addition to this release, legacy cadmium plated connector shells remain available. Cross reference charts between the government designation and Tyco Electronics part numbers are available.
