A new CMM micro-connectors catalogue has been issued end 2010.

You can easily identify the new one by the front page and the last interior page which shows the catalogue version.

Major changes and news:

Page 2: Introduction

The connector series presentation page has been updated with new pictures, a new description of the product range and a summary of direct benefits. Note the addition of the 1 week express service and online services as a MY NICOMATIC member.

Page 43 - 46: new fixings for CMM220

- new F24L: for PCB 4 to 6mm & SMTcontacts type T / TL.
New function allows a use for CMM220 series and thicker cards like multi-layer pcbs. The existing F24 is appropriate for pcb thicknesses ranging from 1.5 to 4mm.

- new M49 / M49H: 100% racking fixing with 1.5mm diameter & 6.5mm length for Y, YL, T, S & C terminations (straight PCB, SMT & cable). Perfect guiding before connection. Recommended for female CMM220 series & available in 2 versions M49 standard and M49H with hex screw.

- new F62 / F62H: new female racking fixing with 1.6mm diameter & 6.5mm width. For contacts type Y, YL, T, S & C. Allows perfect mating with new male fixings above (M49 type).

- new F63 / F63L: based on the same principle as M21 & M21L but made for male housings as reverse fixing. For V - R - S - C - E (D : 90°), F63L => VL - R - S - C - E (D : 90°). For PCB 1.6mm or 3.2mm (F63L) & mating with M46 & M47 fixings.

- Addition of a new washer option under W code

- New mention for recommended torque: all are 0.2 N/m except 0,4 N/m for M46/M47 fixings

Page 72: new fixings for CMM320/340 series

- new HO1C for CMM320: connection with new captive screw

New catalogue page 81/90/94/102/103: High frequency (HF) and high power (HP) contacts

- addition of new 30-1600 and 30-2600 HF straight SMT contacts

- addition of new 30-3600 and 30-4600 HP 90° SMT contacts

- replacement and new information on HP contacts series 30 male and female straight on cable (30-33xx and 30-43xx): Advantages of New crimping "by point" for better contact retention, 1 multi gauge contact instead of several, new MIL normalized tool (AF8).

- replacement and new information on HP contacts series 22 male and female straight on cable (22-33xx and 22-43xx): Advantages of New crimping "by point" for better contact retention, 1 multi gauge contact instead of several, new MIL normalized tool (AF8).

Page 103 - 112: Tools & accessories update

- new AF8 tool to crimp HP contacts, suppression of C14922 stops, and crimp dies C14923 not longer necessary

- addition of a new option on C13997 tool for HF / HP contacts removal: possibility to insert male & female contact

- optimization of the C14743 screwdriver

- new option upon request: dynamometric screwdriver specifically designed for low torques (will include bits & adjusting key). Function = better adjustment of fixings male/female (recommended torque).

- new option: Aluminum covers are available upon request

- new option: possible delivery of CMM housings with integrated backpotting shapes
