Rugged Latching Connectors from Omnetics

Suitable for Demanding Medical, Robotic or Mil/Aero Designs

Omnetics, the leading manufacturer of miniature high rel connectors, has announced that its range of circular connectors are now available heavily keyed and with mechanical latches, enabling them to withstand pulling forces of up to 2lbs in a straight line. No special tools are required for mating and unmating, and the design of the connectors further ensures no mis-mating.

Lightweight and small in diameter, these new connectors are available with three barrel sizes configured with 5, 12 or 27 positions. Devices support wire sizes up to 26 awg and can be over-molded for added security and protection.

Comments Greg Jones, Sales Manager: “Designers of systems to be used in demanding applications such as medical, robotic or mil/aero will see immediate benefits in using these highly rugged yet miniature and lightweight connectors.”
