Omnetics Connector Corporation's high reliability Micro-D connectors are now available with mixed power/signal contact layouts to allow designers the ability to achieve their optimal layout and performance.

In an effort to allow our customers the most design flexibility within the industry, the individual number of power and signal contacts may be custom configured on an application to application basis. By doing so, we are able to offer our customers the greatest flexibility within their own circuit design while maintaining a Micro-D form factor. This design allows the end solution to be kept to the absolute minimum footprint ensuring both miniaturization, and the ultra-rugged characteristics for which the Micro-D is known. The hybrid design itself, eliminates the need to have both D-Sub type or other higher power connectors next to the Micro-D, making it easier for the end users to shed un-necessary weight and electronics from their boards.

Omnetics Power/Micro-D Hybrid offers power contacts suitable to handle 20-24 AWG wire and up to 10 Amps per contact. Meanwhile, the signal contacts are the same high quality mil spec contacts used within Omnetics' QPL Micro-D (MIL-DTL-83513) line. These contacts are rated at 3 amps per contact, and can withstand over 2,000 mating cycles. Hybrid connectors are available in wired or thru-hole PCB mount termination types. The wired power contact is an insert-able/removable type contact which can be optionally supplied for customer termination.

Omnetics Hybrid Power Micro-D's can be packaged in one of two options. The first, Omnetics conventional screw together type Micro-D shell commonly referred to within the MIL-DTL-83513 standard. The second, option allows users to take advantage of Omnetics quick latching Micro-D form factor. These latches require no tools and offer great ease in handling.
