Micro-D Hermetic ConnectorsGeneral InformationMicro-DHermeticmicro-d hermetic connector design notes“Why can't I get a hermetic Micro-D withpin contacts instead of sockets?”The Micro-D TwistPin contact cannot be madefrom the materials that are required for hermeticcontacts. Hermetic contacts are made fromferrous alloys such as Kovar ® or Alloy 52.These alloys do not have spring properties. TheMicro-D TwistPin contact is made from springtemperberyllium copper. The Micro-D socketcontact is a cylinder and does not provide anyspring force, so Micro-D hermetic connectorsare always receptacle connectors with socketcontacts. “What about high pressure?” “What isthe maximum recommended pressure rating for ahermetic Micro-D?”Glenair hermetic Micro-D's are built to safelywithstand 1000 PSI of hydrostatic pressure in anopen face (unmated) condition.micro-d contact arrangements (face view socket connector)543218 7 6 5 4 3 2 111 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 113 12 11 10 987654321H9 8 7 615 14 13 12 11 10 921 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 1225 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 149 Socket 15 Socket 21 Socket 25 Socket16 15 14 13 12 11 10 98765432119 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 131 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 1737 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 2031 Socket 37 Socket© 2011 Glenair, Inc.
