PDS-233-5
Specifically made for all your: Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, USB 2.0/3.0 Needs!
Amphenol Aerospace now offers a connector series
that can be used for all of your multi-media needs.
This series is capable of running Gigabit Ethernet,
USB 2.0/USB 3.0, HDMI and 10 Gigabit Ethernet when
specified and designated to a specific configuration. MRC
is a micro-miniature connector ideal for Commercial,
Industrial and Military Communication Systems. Its
compact size combined with its IP67 performance rating
makes it ideal for the harshest environmental situations.
The MRC flange mounting plugs are supplied with rigid
contacts that are flat to the front surface of the connector.
This feature allows it to be used in applications such as
ruggedized displays, radios, and routers that have potential
to come in contact with dirt and sand during use. The MRC
can be easily cleaned by simply wiping off debris whereas
standard pin and socket style connectors tend to be more
difficult to remove debris once it has been compacted in the
contacts.
The MRC cable assemblies feature connectors with spring
loaded contacts and two coupling styles (Push/Pull and
Push w/ ¼ turn lock). Both of these coupling styles mate
with the standard flange mounting plug. Cable assemblies
are available in various lengths and can either be supplied
as double ended with MRC connectors on both ends or
with standard COTS RJ45, USB, HDMI connections on one
end. Additional cable materials and connector configuration
are available; please consult our product team with your
requirements.
