Positronic introduced its MDX D-Subminiature connector series with size 20 fixed contacts. The series is available with 9, 15, 25, 37, and 50 contacts.
The MDX series utilizes the new PosiBand contact system. The PosiBand is a closed entry female contact system which the company says provides lower average insertion force during mating, enhanced reliability and increased electrical performance over legacy designs.
MDX connectors use solid machined contacts. These connectors meet the performance requirements of IEC 60807-2, performance level one. Contact resistance is a low 0.005 ohms. Single contact current ratings are as high as 14A, described as remarkable for D-Subminiature connectors. MDX series insulators are manufactured with glass-filled polyester, which offers stable performance in harsh environments. Termination options include straight and right angle PCB solder, wire solder and press-in terminations. A wide variety of accessories are also available.
