68-position board-mount connector
July 1st 2007 Diversified technology company
3M has introduced a 68-position
MDR I/O board-mount connector
that conforms to the standard
contact pattern of popular SCSI-2
pin and socket interfaces. The new
configuration allows use of 3M's
robust MDR wiper-on-wiper
connector system in applications
that previously used traditional pin
and socket SCSI-2 connectors.
The 3M MDR SCSI-3 footprint
version is available in a 68-pin
count configuration and mates to
all 3M MDR 68 position wire-mount
plugs. The MDR connector is
suitable for use in a broad range of
box-to-box applications.The
connector's ribbon-style contact
eliminates pin-stubbing failures that
can occur in pin-and-socket I/O
connectors and is said to be
reliable in repetitive plug-unplug
applications. The connector's 3600
shielding contributes to improved
signal integrity.
Available options include a
thumbscrew for secure attachment
and a quick-release latch. More articles from 3M UK Ltd: |
