KENSINGTON ELECTRONICS ONLY DISTRIBUTOR TO STOCK SMITHS INTERCONNECT MINI D0 SERIES CONNECTORS
Kensington Electronics Inc., continues to expand its connector offering into the medical market by expanding its partnership with Smiths Interconnect to stock the new miniature D series circular plastic connectors. Kensington is the only Smiths Interconnect distributor to carry this product family. The Mini D series connector is nearly 30% smaller than Smiths Interconnect D01 series, has 0.30mm Hypertac® high reliability contacts, simple push-button latching, and the distinctive housing provides alignment and polarization.
Smiths Interconnect' new "mini" connector is designed to be both rugged and versatile in order to meet the increased functionality requirements for today's more advanced systems. The next generation miniature connector is designed to reduce size by nearly 30 percent while providing maximum signal reliability. The D00 mini connector incorporates ultra-reliable Hypertac hyperboloid contacts with ÿ0.30mm pins which create a significantly smaller form factor with five-signal contacts rated at 1 Amp each. The design maintains the same reliable electromechanical performance characteristics of all Hypertac contacts: high cycle life, low contact resistance, low insertion and extraction force, resistance to shock and vibration, and superior self-cleaning action, but now meet the industry's increased demands for miniaturization and higher density.
The mini D Series connector is ideal for use in medical equipment such as monitors, therapeutic devices, imaging applications, and invasive probes. With medical systems becoming smaller, Smiths Interconnect mini connectors allow manufacturers to create smaller devices that offer more comfort and portability for patients.
