KA Connectors for harsh environments

Building on years of experience in extreme environmental conditions, KA is the latest Printed Circuit Board (PCB) series from Smiths Interconnect.

Using the Hypertac® hyperboloid contact for immunity to fretting under shock and vibration, the range offers connectors with from 17 to 490 contacts in 2, 3, 4 or 5 rows. Contacts are centred at 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch, rated at 4 amps with individual contacts rated at up to 9 amps.

Pin and socket gold-plated contacts offer termination options including straight dip, right angle solder, crimp, solder cup or wire wrap.

The KA connector system meets the shock and vibration requirements of MIL-DTL-55302 and offering temperature rating -55° to 125°C.

Smiths Interconnect PCB connectors have been delivering high performance and ultra-reliable connection in avionics, communications, process control and for many other applications in aircraft, marine, land vehicle and sea-bed environments for decades. The KA Series continues this excellent service.
