LF and Coaxial Military PCB Connector for Extreme Conditions

The 2 row, signal or combination HE801 two part printed circuit board connector system utilises a 1.27mm(0.05in.) staggered pitch with 2.54mm(0.1in.) between rows. Designed to meet the severest of environmental technical requirements from fast jets to gun turrets they have featured on such military programmes as the A300/320, Ariane, Exocet, Ptarmigan, Rapier and also on railway rolling stock applications, where high resistance to abrasion and extreme reliability are critical.

Applications

Applications

Designed to meet the severest of environmental technical requirements from fast jets to gun turrets they have featured on such military programmes as the A300/320, Ariane, Exocet, Ptarmigan, Rapier and also on railway rolling stock applications, where high resistance to abrasion and extreme reliability are critical.
