It offers an affordable alternative to similar products in the field – with no reduction in performance.
“Eclipse opens to door to a whole new range of possibilities,” said Gary Evans, E-Mech Division Manager of Astute electronics Ltd. “We at Astute are very excited to see where this cost-effective hybrid machined power connector might lead. Clearly there are thousands of applications and we foresee a very bright future for Eclipse.”
Strong and versatile, Eclipse can be used for military, defence and communications applications. The solid machine contact and formed and stamped signal cluster will deliver reliable power and reduced insertion loss and it comes with significant cost advantages.
The connector features machined power contacts in addition to formed signal contacts and boasts a minimum of 250 mating cycle. It is a low-profile component measuring just 11mm height and features a halogen-free insulator.
