Publish time:2022-09-20 Views:263 Zhou Xiaojun

  As systems miniaturize、Lightweight、Improved portability,From aerospace to medical devices,Interconnect miniaturization is becoming increasingly important。 Today's chip-based devices offer more technology、Longer battery life、Higher reliability and more rugged design。 Aerospace payloads require higher payloads、Longer flight time、More signal capability,Even deep space mission capabilities。

  In deep space programs,The desire to explore promotes size、Reduction of weight and power consumption。 Designers face compact packaging、The challenge of smaller cables and miniature connectors。 New digital circuit designs require reduced current,Reduce voltage,Processing more signals。

  Old D-subConnector(2.54Pitch)Has been miniaturized) 1.27Pitch)And nano connectors)0.635Pitch)Replace。 Recently,With surface mount methods、Through hole、Board mount capability,Suitable for 30 AWGNew high-reliability Nano for wired connector plugs-DThe connector series was born。

  Aerospace technology from aircraft sensors to drone and helicopter guidance requires robust miniaturization and higher signal-to-volume ratios。 Interconnect systems through new metal Nano-DConnectors meet this need。 Nano-contacts can also exceed the impact specified by military standards and NASA standards、Vibration test requirements,Through up to 2000Secondary insertion cycles。 Nano-DAlso obtained MIl-DTL-32139QPL'sCertification。 With the Land Warrior robot、Photo、Miniaturization and portability of image scanning equipment,Nano-DConnectors solve the big problem of needing miniaturization and light weight,Improved durability and quality。

  Medical electronics design has also begun the same miniaturization。 Medical laser pointer、Probe、Sensors and catheters often have electronics at the cable end,Need to integrate miniature connectors into the design of tool handles or probe systems。 In some cases,Half of connectors and cables are designed to be disposable,The other half needs to be autoclaved or sterilized by some method。
