Since many years from now CMM series micro-connectors fully satisfy our customers throughout the world. Applications are various and mainly concern high technology end-user markets such as medical, green energies, nuclear, defence, avionics and space, railway etc.
CMM allows high performance in terms of:
- connection: proven track-record under harsh use conditions (MIL) thanks to
the quality of our contacts and a secured integral jacking mechanism
- space saving: -40% in surface and up to -60% in volume
- weight saving: -20% to -50% vs. usual solution for same functionalities
- modular and hybrid design: over 15 million standard configurations (board to board, board to wire and wire to wire)
The product range has been enlarged to new additions and new options. One of them is the availability in standard of a 3-row right angle SMT connector: CMM series 320 LF 90° SMT. This range extension allows Nicomatic to present the most compact connector existing on the market today. Let's build my part number!
The SMT technology applied to low profile connectors is usually quite problematic when it gets to industrialize series production. A 2-row connector version from Nicomatic was already available.
However, there is a big gap between a 2 and 3-row connector if you want to apply the 90° SMT technology. What makes it so difficult? Well, you need to guarantee planeity for all contacts to be soldered on 3 axis and remain in especially narrow tolerances!
Nicomatic CMM micro-connectors series 320R allow up to 120 low frequency contacts (up to 5A) in a high density insulator saving up to 60% of space vs. traditional connectors and weight vs. metal solutions. The length between the rear side of the insulator and the 3rd row of contacts is 13mm which makes a compact connector with the smallest PCB footprint found on the marketplace today!
As all Nicomatic CMM series micro-connectors the new CMM320R is classified MIL-DTL-55302F & BS-9525-F0033, it also offers the security of interconnection thanks to an integral jacking mechanism by screw and a PPS material for high temperatures up to 260°C.
