Nicomatic will give a UK debut to developments in its ranges of miniature and rectangular connectors at the Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition in September.

1mm AMM series connectors are designed for space-constrained applications in harsh environments. Capable of carrying up to 4.8A (PCB to cable, 20 pins at 25°C) or 2.5A (PCB to PCB, 20 pins at 25°C), the miniature connectors can withstand vibrations of 15G and shock of 100G. Devices can handle up to 1000 mating cycles and can operate between -65 and 200°C.

Five standard layouts with 6, 10, 20, 34, 50 contacts distributed over two rows are stocked in depth for immediate shipment, and a guidance pin in integrated into the design for stacking.

Nicomatic will also debut Optimus, an EN4165-compliant, modular, rectangular I/O connector series. This low-profile interconnect solution is user-configurable and is applicable either to provide an equipment interface connection to a harness or as a robust rack & panel solution. 

Modular construction enables designers to specify the layout they need. Connectors can be configured with size 22 signal contacts rated at 5A or size 8 power contacts rated for 60A. 90° PCB mount versions are also available. Devices are waterproof and offer EMI protection.

Nicomatic will feature other ranges including the 1.27 mm pitch EMM series, which targets defense and other high-reliability applications. Designed to meet the performance requirements of MIL 83513, EMM series connectors occupy 40% less space than previous-generation connectors from the company.

DLMM connectors use a metalized composite shell, and a monoblock backshell can be specified for even greater shielding and robustness on cable connections. Devices can incorporate mixed signal, power and coax on two rows from 4-32 pins. Prototypes are available on three weeks for five shell sizes (10, 16, 22, 26 and 32 pins).
