dvances in modern microelectronics are vital to the latest generation of miniaturised devices. Microprocessors, memory devices and batteries are smaller than ever before. The size and capabilities of modern microprocessors are allowing miniaturised devices to deliver performance that would have required far larger machines. To take advantage of this new technology, designers need small and highly capable connectors to provide them with an interface to the outside world.
New Applications, New Environments
Due to their smaller size, this new generation of connected systems can be installed in remote locations that were never possible before. From LED architectural
provided with medical care. When combined with developments in treatment technology such as nebulisers, insulin delivery systems and even ventilators, patients can receive life-saving care in the hospital or the comfort of their own homes.
Connecting In Harsh Conditions
lighting and smart agriculture to instrumentation and data logging, sophisticated electronics in small packages are being used in harsh environments.
Connected devices are also
fi nding new uses in critical areas. Designers in the medical industry are taking advantage of miniaturised technology, creating solutions that are allowing patients to carry on with their daily lives, even while they are being
Unlike almost every other component in the electronics industry, connectors must be able to withstand the external environment. Affi xed to the outside of equipment, they are exposed to changes of temperature, dust and dirt, along with water and other contaminants. Despite this, they must be easy to use, and capable of providing secure connections. The binder 620 and 720 series are sealed to IP67, meaning they can withstand the tough conditions

mmediately available through Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, are rugged miniature cylindrical Conesys MIL-DTL-26482 connectors (Series II) for commercial, aerospace and military applications. The components feature a reliable bayonet coupling design with
rear-removable crimp contacts.
The Conesys MIL-DTL-26482 connectors are available with aluminium and stainless steel shells, and there are four receptacle- mounting styles offered: narrow fl ange wall mounting receptacles, wide fl ange wall mounting receptacles, cable connecting receptacles and jam nut mounting receptacles which incorporate “O” ring seals, designed for rear panel “D” hole mounting. Plugs are available in two designs, with and
without RFI grounding.
Thirty-three insert arrangements per MIL-STD-1669 are tooled and qualifi ed to MIL- DTL-26482 Series 2, utilizing 3 to 61 M39029 contacts. Contacts come in sizes 20, 16 and 12, terminating wire sizes from 24 to 12 gauge.
of the factory fl oor or the outdoor environment. The snap-in locking mechanism provides secure connection when mated, and the ergonomic shape of the body makes it ideal for use in smaller devices.
Versatility for Small Devices To provide a solution for the latest equipment, the engineer needs to select a connector that offers the right combination of small size, environmental protection, and cost-effective design. Electronic equipment that is designed for use in harsh environments must be able to withstand the elements, and connectors play an enormous role. Many applications require IP67 protection but cannot use the bulky solutions of screw locking connectors or the high cost of push-pull types.
