Technical & Performance
Data
Performance
Contact Resistance
— The average
mated contact resistance is 4 milliohms,
with a maximum value of 8 milliohms,
using standard #24 solid copper leads
when measured directly behind the
crimp joints of the mated pin and socket
contacts. The average resistance value at
100 microvolts is 4.8 milliohms.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage
(60 Hz rms room temperature)
—
Solder Pots: 600 VAC at sea level;
150 VAC at 70,000 feet [21,336 m].
Wire Terminations: 750 VAC at sea level;
200 VAC at 70,000 feet [21,336m]
Vibration (Per MIL-STD-202C,
Method 204-A, Condition D)
— No
discontinuity in excess of 1 microsecond
during twelve 20 minute sweeps from 10
to 2,000 CPS at .06 double amplitude or
20 G forces, whichever is less.
Corrosion Resistance (Per
MIL-STD-202C, Method 101B,
Condition B)
— Both mated and
unmated samples do not exceed the
maximum allowable contact resistance
(8 milliohms) when subjected to the
48 hour salt spray test.
Durability
— The contact resistance
after 500 mating cycles is less than the
maximum allowable, 8 milliohms.
Insulation Resistance
—
Greater than 5,000 megohms at room
temperature for the materials listed
under “Materials”.
Maximum Current Carrying
Capacity
— No. 24 contact, 3
amperes. It must be recognized,
however, that all the wires to a connector
will not carry their maximum current
under all environmental conditions due
to wire temperature.
Contact Engaging and Separation
Forces
— 6 oz. [1.67N] maximum
(eng.); 0.5 oz. [.14N] minimum (sep.).
Temperature Range (Operating)
—
Diallyl phthalate -67°F to 257°F
[-55°C to +125°C].
Materials
Insulator
— Diallyl phthalate per
MIL-M-14, Type SDG-F or Liquid
Crystal Polymer (LCP) per ASTM
D5138.
Contacts
— Pin Contact: Copper alloy
and beryllium copper alloy make up the
complete construction. Socket Contact:
Copper alloy.
Body Shell
— High grade aluminum
alloy.
Finishes
Contacts
— Standard finish is
0.000050 [0.00127] gold over copper
flash per MIL-G-45204, Type II.
Body Shell
— Electroless nickel per
AMS 2404.
Note:
Insulators are molded into their metal
shells — No bonded joint is used.

The only metal shell con-
nector that mates with all
existing plastic types. This
line is ideal for external use
and other applications
requiring frequent discon-
nect and remating. When
durability and reliability are
paramount the metal shell
connector is unsurpassed —
it eliminates the need for
retrofitting where new metal
shell varieties must mate
with older plastic types.
Originally designed for mili-
tary applications, they are
currently used for commer-
cial requirements, including
computers.

Available
now
— RF
Performance in standard
subminiature rectangular
connectors, with VSWR
values of 1.01 to 1.10 in
frequencies ranging in DC
to 2.3 GHz. This is the
COMBOMATE Connector.
This series of connectors
incorporates the same metal
shells and twist pin contacts
used in the widely accepted,
high reliability, MCDM Series.
The RF COMBOMATE
Connector Series will
accommodate RG 196 A/U
or RG 178 B/U coaxial cable
terminated in a unique
manner in standard, already
tooled insert layouts. This
feature results in savings in
cost, time and space.
The RF COMBOMATE
Connector Series will
accommodate a maximum
of 17 RG 196 A/U or
RG 178 B/U cables in an
area of less than .225 sq.
inches [14.51 mm
2
]. Mixed
layouts with coaxial termina-
tions and standard AWG 24,
26 and 28 are also immedi-
ately available in 7 different
shell sizes. The overall
envelope and mounting
dimensions of equivalent
size of COMBOMATE
Connectors are exactly the
same as the standard
MCDM Series.
