CINCH DCCM31PBSP

Cinch Dura-Con Micro-D Connectors

Cinch Dura-Con connectors are engineered for applications demanding rugged, durable, and high-performance interconnects. Designed to minimize weight and space while maximizing reliability, Dura-Con connectors are ideal for miniaturized airborne electronics, data processing equipment, and scenarios requiring shorter signal paths. The core of the Dura-Con system is the unique twist pin contact, featuring a precision miniature spring cable with seven spring members that ensure consistent contact under radial forces. This design offers exceptional resistance to metal fatigue, ensuring reliable mating even after numerous cycles. The Dura-Con family includes MIL-DTL-83513 series connectors and their commercial equivalents, offering a wide array of termination and hardware options for both all-plastic and metal shell wire versions, as well as PC board mountable connectors.
