General Specifications




   Connector Type       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   D-Sub
 
     D-Subminiature (D-sub) connectors have a mating face that is shaped like the letter "D". This shape provides polarization since D-shaped male and female connectors fit together in only one way.
 
   GBIC
 
     Gigabit interface converters (GBIC) are transceivers that convert between serial-electrical and serial-optical signals for high-speed networking. They are used with both Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet networks.
 
   MIA
 
     Media interface adapters (MIA) are Fibre Channel connectors that convert DB9 copper signals into optical signals, and vice versa.
 
   HSSDC
 
     High-speed serial data connection (HSSDC) cable connectors are designed to facilitate gigabit-per-second (Gbit/sec) data transmissions.
 
   HSSDC2
 
     HSSDC2 connectors are an improved version of the original high-speed serial data connection (HSSDC) cable connector. Like HSSDC connectors, HSSDC2 connectors are designed to facilitate gigabit-per-second (Gbit/sec) data transmissions.
 
   Triax
 
     Triax connectors are used with triaxial cables where maximum RF shielding and minimum noise radiation is required.
 
   Twinax
 
     Twinax connectors are used with twinaxial cables for balanced low level and high sensitivity circuits. Twinax connectors feature polarized key and keyway construction as well as threaded coupling.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary connectors.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   RoHS Compliant       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   RoHS Compliant
 
     Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS will become effective on July 1, 2006.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Gender




   Gender       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Male / Plug
 
     Male connectors or plugs are often referred to as header or free connectors. In coaxial RF connectors, the plug is normally the movable portion and is usually attached to a cable or removable sub-assembly. In shell type multiple-contact connectors, the plug usually contains the socket contacts and is mounted on the "hot" (rack) side of the system. Plugs mate with receptacles, jacks, outlets, etc.
 
   Female / Jack
 
     Female connectors or jacks are connecting devices into which plugs are inserted to make circuit connections.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted gender type.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Performance
The maximum current or maximum voltage defined by an approval organization may differ from the supplier's maximums. In many cases, the product can be used safely at an unapproved level. Check with the supplier for specific usage details.



   Voltage Rating
 
     Voltage rating is the maximum operating voltage.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Current Rating
 
     Current rating is the maximum, recommended, continuous flow of electrical current.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Number of Contacts
 
     The number of contacts is the number of conductive elements that mate with a corresponding element to provide an electrical path.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Operating Temperature
 
     Operating temperature is the full-required range of ambient operating temperature.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
