PCD Series connectors are professional quality rectangular connectors with
compliant terminations.The low press-in force required to install the contacts into
the board eliminates printed board pressure-warp and twisting stresses which
can result in expensive repair or replacement of printed boards and back panels.
Female connectors are available with closed entry contacts for high reliability
applications.
These connectors were designed to allow removal and replacement of indi-
vidual contacts damaged in manufacturing, testing, or field use without remov-
ing the connector from the board. The compliant section of the contact causes
no damage or deformation of the plated-through-hole during installation or
removal from the printed board. With a minimum axial push-out force of 5 lbs.
[21 N], an individual contact may be removed from both the printed board and
connector insulator. A virgin contact may then be pushed into the connector
insulator and plated-through-hole, thereby accomplishing the repair of the con-
nector without the removal of the connector from the printed board.
Bi-Spring Compliant Contacts
have press-in and push-out forces of 2
lbs [8.4 N] to 2.5 lbs [10.5 N]. The requirement for finished printed board hole
diameter is 0.047 inches [1.19 mm]. The compliant contact will permit up to
three replacement operations.
Omega Compliant Contacts
have press-in and push-out forces of 4 lbs [16.8
N] to 6 lbs [25.2 N]. The requirement for the finished printed board hole diameter
is 0.0394 inches [1.00mm]. This contact style offers an economically priced con-
nector with a finished hole diameter common to many press fit contacts.
Five standard connector variants are offered in arrangement of 9, 15, 25, 37,
and 50 contacts. PCD connectors are mateable and compatible with all D-
Subminiature connectors conforming to IEC 807-2, IEC 807-3, and dimension-
al requirements of MIL-DTL-24308.
