Brush Contact Innovation
• Multiple contact interfaces -
Strands of high tensile wire are
bundled together to form
brush-like contacts. By inter-
meshing two multi-strand wire
bundles, an electrical connection
is made.
• Provides redundant current
paths, 14-70 (points of contact)
per mated contact with a gas
tight junction
• Very smooth (low friction)
interface
Conventional Pin/Socket
• Machined surface finish on
both parts
• Higher friction and wear
• Limited number of contact sites

Low Mating &
Unmating Forces
• Smooth, low friction
interfaces
• 70% to 90% reduction in
mating/unmating forces
from conventional
pin-socket contacts
• 1.5 oz. maximum forces per
contact pair (one ounce
typical)
• Easy mating/unmating
makes high circuit counts
practical (25 lbs. typical for
400 contacts)
• Mechanical mating aids not
required
• No need for external board
support structures for con-
nectors up to 7 inches long.
A center support is recom-
mended for Mother Board
Connectors over 7 inches.
Proven Durability and
Long Contact Life
• 100,000 mating cycles,
even when hot swapped
• Documented intermittency
free performance –
no 10 nano second discon-
tinuities during 50m cycles
of 0.010 displacement
• Overall cost effectiveness
(reduced life cycle costs)
