Key features and benefits
¡ñ Available in aluminum or composite version
¡ñ Serial contact protection
¡ñ EMI shielding
¡ñ Ligther than micro-D or D-sub standard connectors

Description
The microComp series is a miniature high density rectangular connector.
microComp shells are made out of strengthened fiber glass material for a maximum mechanical resistance. Composite shells are up to 36% lighter than aluminum shells. The advanced «Nickel over composite» plating process used on microComp has been qualified on F-tone Networks MIL-DTL-38999 product range. This technology selected by Boeing and Airbus, provides optimized shielding and shell-to-shell continuity.
microComp male connectors are scoop-proof. On HD D-Sub and D-Sub male contacts are the fragile parts of the connector because they can easily be bent. On microComp connectors, male contacts are fully shrouded by the insulator: they are protected and cannot be bent.
With its very short contacts, microComp connectors have high Ethernet performance.
