Trapezoidal connectors Series TMC Subminiature D built according to MIL-C-24 308 with insulation displacement termination for flat ribbon cables Main feature * 4 housing sizes for 9, 15, 25 and 37 pins are available * Simultaneous contact of up to 37 conductors in a single process * No stripping because the insulation displacement contacts cut through the insulation * Suitable for all conventional flat ribbon cables at a pitch of 1.27 mm * With the tension relief clamp 90 and 180 cable entry configurations to the mating level are possible * Accessories integrated into the connector are available, e. g. threaded bolts for screw locking * Series TMC-SK insulation displacement connectors fit Series KSG 185 connector housings General Accessories The series TMC-SK connectors have on their termination side insulation displacement contacts. Their ends cut through the insulation of the flat ribbon cable and make high-pressure contact with the conductors. This allows for a single process to connect up to 37 conductors without a prior stripping. Application problems can also be efficiently solved with the integrated accessories available from ERNI. This entails integrating mounting and locking accessories on the connector. Series TMC-SK connectors used in conjunction with ribbon cable constitute a reliable and economic terminating system for electrical connections. On the mating side the trapezoidal design provides the proven protective collar for physical protection of the contact elements against twisting and human contact. When the connectors are fitted into the ERNI Series KSG-185 cable housings with the screw locking system, a reliable interface is the result. A metallized connector housing version is available for applications with screened cables. 64 catalog E 074484 Screw locking parts for reliable interface locking. The screws necessary for locking are held in the riveted guide bolts. The screws are only tightened up after the mating process. www.ERNI.com/contact/ 05/02 Edition 4 Electrical and mechanical data Serie TMC-SK Versions Number of pins TMC-SK male and female connector 2-rows of 9, 15, 25, 37 Temperature range Permissible humidity -55...+125 Annual average 80% max. 100% Versions TMC-SK male and female connector Shock and vibration profness No discontinuity at 20 g and 10...2000 Hz Metal protective collar Tinned steel MR St4, 1+1 m Ni, 82 m Sn Moulding Creepage and clearance 0,9 mm Working current 1,0 A max.
