Space-ready Micro-Ds and sockets for mission-critical applications

Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel Fuse company, has launched its Dura-Con Space Grade Micro-Ds. Engineered with precision and created for demanding environments, this new product line redefines durability and reliability standards for engineers working across aerospace, defence, and other mission-critical applications.

The devices are built with twist pin contacts and machined sockets specified in NASA’s EEE-INST-002 standard and deliver unparalleled resilience in the most challenging conditions. Integrating M83513 style micro-d connectors, DAP insulators, nickel-plated aluminium shells, and ETFE insulated wires ensures high performance even in space-constrained applications where size and weight are critical factors. Also, these components feature low outgassing materials, with levels under 1% TML and less than 0.1% CVCM, meeting stringent demands for space flight applications.

“Our Dura-Con Space Grade Micro-Ds are designed to meet the highest standards of reliability in the most demanding environments,” said Brad Taras, senior product manager at Cinch Connectivity Solutions. “With NASA EEE-INST-002 level 2 screening, these connectors have been qualified for space and are lot tested to perform in the extreme conditions of space, providing engineers with dependable solutions for critical applications.”
