Overview<br />
• Still the most reliable Pin and Socket product on .050 centers in the market<br />
• Superior performance and reliability under extreme shock and vibration<br />
• Excellent flex memory<br />
– Retains spring characteristics after mechanical and thermal testing<br />
• Trouble free mating and unmating<br />
– Low contact resistance<br />
– Polarized shells and keying hardware<br />
• Primarily a military product but has been used in niche applications in the Commercial<br />
and Medical markets<br />
– High temperature geophysical exploration<br />
– Switching stations<br />
– High end computers<br />
– Bar code scanners<br />
– Heart monitors<br />
• <strong>Cinch</strong> has been a qualified (since 1986) supplier to Mil-DTL-83513<br />
• Applications tend to be custom with M83513 product representing only 15% of the<br />
market<br />
• <strong>Cinch</strong> offers a wide product line<br />

Plug <strong>Con</strong>tact<br />
•The HEART of the <strong>Dura</strong>-con<br />
interconnect system<br />
•<strong>Con</strong>tinues to be the contact of<br />
choice among design engineers<br />
•The live spring pin is composed<br />
of 7 wires wound around 3 inner<br />
core wires<br />
•These ten wires are heat treated,<br />
ends are welded and gold plated<br />
•A four point gas tight crimp secures<br />
the twist pin to the sleeve<br />
•Mates with socket contact at 7<br />
discrete contact points<br />
•Provides VERSITILITY in a wide<br />
range of connector envelopes from<br />
small to large<br />

<strong>Dura</strong>-<strong>Con</strong> Products<br />
•Design Characteristics<br />
– Reverse gender pin and socket<br />
– Pin is the spring member and is protected (recessed) in the insulator<br />
– Generally is the “live” contact<br />
– Socket is the exposed contact<br />
• Metal Shell T-Blocks<br />
– Used primarily for printed circuit or multi-layered boards.<br />
– Provides high density and high reliability in board to board and board to cable applications<br />
– Applications where highly reliable lightweight connectors with high density configurations<br />
–Space is a premium and possible replacement for traditional rectangular connectors<br />
– Three standard termination styles available, straight (BS), right angle (BR) and narrow profile (CBR)<br />
– Available in 8 contact sizes: 9, 15, 21, 25, 31, 37, 51, and 100<br />
•Metal Shell<br />
– For cable to cable, cable to panel mount and cable to board mount applications<br />
– Interfacial seal protects contacts from moisture and humidity<br />
– Ideal for airborne or space applications<br />
– EMI shielding and electrical grounding through the insulator<br />
– Available with thermoset and thermoplastic insulators<br />
– Common termination styles are solder cups, solid and stranded wire<br />
