| Connector Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| D-Sub | D-Subminiature (D-sub) connectors have a mating face that is shaped like the letter "D". This shape provides polarization since D-shaped male and female connectors fit together in only one way. | ||
| Triax | Triax connectors are used with triaxial cables where maximum RF shielding and minimum noise radiation is required. | ||
| Twinax | Twinax connectors are used with twinaxial cables for balanced low level and high sensitivity circuits. Twinax connectors feature polarized key and keyway construction as well as threaded coupling. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary connectors. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| Standards / Approvals: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| ARINC | ARINC is a technical standard for the avionic industry. An ARINC connector complies with this standard and is used to interface avionic equipment. | ||
| RoHS Compliant | Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl, and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS will become effective on July 1, 2006. | ||

|
| ||
| Gender | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Male / Plug | Male connectors or plugs are often referred to as header or free connectors. In coaxial RF connectors, the plug is normally the movable portion and is usually attached to a cable or removable sub-assembly. In shell type multiple-contact connectors, the plug usually contains the socket contacts and is mounted on the "hot" (rack) side of the system. Plugs mate with receptacles, jacks, outlets, etc. | ||
| Female / Jack | Female connectors or jacks are connecting devices into which plugs are inserted to make circuit connections. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted gender type. | ||

Performance
The maximum current or maximum voltage defined by an approval organization may differ from the supplier's maximums. In many cases, the product can be used safely at an unapproved level. Check with the supplier for specific usage details.

| Voltage Rating | Voltage rating is the maximum operating voltage. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Current Rating | Current rating is the maximum, recommended, continuous flow of electrical current. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Number of Contacts | The number of contacts is the number of conductive elements that mate with a corresponding element to provide an electrical path. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Operating Temperature | Operating temperature is the full-required range of ambient operating temperature. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
