Molex offers a huge portfolio of connectors designed for demanding applications including: Mini-Fit® H2O – sealed to IP67, this mid- range (9.0A per circuit) power connector is designed for use in weatherproof applications that require a sealed system. SRC – Sealed Rectangular Connectors meet the need for a rugged, environmentally sealed connector system, supporting both low-level signals as well as current up to 40.0 amperes. XRC™ (Extra Rugged Circular) Sealed Plugs and Receptacles are IP67-rated and suit the demanding requirements of the transportation industry. New low-insertion-force stamped terminals provide an economical drop-in replacement that is interchangeable with competitor’s connector housings. MX150L™ is an environmentally sealed connector system ideal for low-level signal and power applications found in non-automotive transportation, solar and other outdoor environments.
PrecIdIP
Preci-dip’s defence-related electronics have helped elevate the company to the rank of one of the top providers of reliable contacts and connectors in the industry. Here’s an example of one of their products:
Battery contact for high reliability SLC connector This patented contact design has been developed to offer maximum reliability in static and dynamic conditions. The construction includes: » Piston with integrated multi-finger sliding contact for electrical continuity
» Contact body fitted with centre pin of coaxial type
» Multi-point connection between centre pin and clip guarantees low and stable electrical resistance
» Compression spring is made of stainless steel
Some limitations in the contact height and travel are to be envisaged due to the construction.
