•The
shielding effect differs depending on the wire specifications.
The extremely compact MD miniature
circular connector has an outside
diameter roughly half that of conventional
circular DIN connectors. The connector's
contact exclusively designed by JST
dramatically reduces assembly time while
improving contact reliability. The MD
connector's shielding is superb. All you
need to do is crimp the connector ground
clip over the cable's braided shielding
wire. Simple and reliable, JST's MD
connector is well suited for the production
of high-density office automation
equipments as well as audio and video
products.

• Crimp contact with integral construction for
improved reliability
JST's exclusive one-piece construction of the pin and crimping
section not only enhances the connection's reliability but also
substantially improves productivity and efficiency by eliminating
the need for soldering. Little force is required to insert the
contact into the housing. Even a wire as thin as AWG #30 can
be inserted easily by hand.

• Easy assembly without using special tools
Other than crimping tools, no special tools are required to
assemble the connector. Simply install the contacts, housing,
ground clip and metal shell in that order. This makes it possible
to greatly increase assembly efficiency, resulting in significant
reductions in total cost.

• Simple braid-to-connector assembly and
effective EMI protection
Because the ground clip is crimped to the cable braid, no
soldering is required. While securely holding the cable, the
ground clip also ensures the integrity of the grounded circuit.
This is a critical factor in reducing noise. The shielding effect of
this method is approximately 20dB greater than that obtained by
the conventional method of bundling and soldering cable braid
to the metal shell.

Combined housings A and B
Housing A is used with housing B. Housing B must have the
same number of orifices as there will be contacts in the connector.
However, housing A can have a greater number of cavities (but
never less). Thus in applications in which a user may require MD
connectors with different pin counts, only one kind of "A" housing
needs to be inventoried - the one with the highest pin count.
For more details regarding such combinations, contact JST.
