Connectors for Harsh Environments
Sealing, plating and retention decide survival in heat, vibration and moisture.
Sealing
IP ratings and gaskets keep contaminants out.
Contact plating
Gold or nickel plating resists corrosion and fretting.
Retention
Positive lock and board-mount strength survive vibration.
