Gecko-MT subseries is the smallest and lightest power/data combination connector of its kind, which provides engineers with an attractive alternative in the form of Combi-D/Micro-D. This subseries offers a variety of symmetric and asymmetric variants, each contact can provide 10A power supply and up to 2.8 A signal. It can also be provided in vertical and right angle configurations, as well as the accompanying wiring. This connector has high shock and vibration resistance, supports extended operating temperature range of-65 ℃ to + 150 ℃, and has undergone at least 1000 plug-and-pull tests. This connector has strong degassing performance, which fully complies with the strict instructions of NASA and ESA.
As the company BBseries the main connector subseries in, and Archer. 8The spacing is 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm, respectively, making it the preferred connector for space-limited applications. These applications include monitoring devices, embedded computing, sensor modules, POS machines and Internet of Things devices. Phosphor bronze contacts in the Archer subseries, each carrying a current of 0.5 A. The Archer. 5 has four pin counts, 30, 40, 80, and 100, and a data transmission capacity of 16Gb/s. The Archer. 8 connector also has 60 and 120 pin counts and a connection speed of 24Gb/s. The connector supports blind insertion conditions-polarization aids orientation and alignment, while a shielded housing protects contacts from accidental damage. This type of connector is wrapped in tape with locating pin, which supports automatic assembly process.
