Innovative design features such as inverted contacts, integrated 90° back shielding, and interchangeable hardware allow the new EMM connector series to combine a robust design with enhanced electrical and environmental performance. Signal contacts from 3A upwards offer a 1.27 mm pitch distance with 1.27 μm gold plating to ensure signal integrity is maintained under high shock and vibration conditions. The devices are rated for up to 45 G of vibration, exceeding EIA 364-28E III and IV test conditions, up to 160 G for shock, exceeding EIA 364-27B G, and with an operating temperature range of -65 to +260 °C, exceeding EIA 364-32D.
Suitable for board-to-board applications (due to their safe pitch) and board-to-wire applications (AWG 24 to 30), EMM connectors are available with any pin selection from 4 to 60 signal contacts. Furthermore, Nicomatic utilizes modular manufacturing technology, ensuring all configurations are available with very fast lead times. Wired versions can be assembled by Nicomatic or by the customer.
According to Claude Chiffard, Nicomatic's global product line leader: "Our new EMM series connectors meet the industry's need for miniaturization and weight savings without compromising performance. Our manufacturing process ensures that designers can have what they need, rather than being forced to use a supplier's preferred component.".
