ACBDP and ACBMP series connectors are suit-
able for use in any applications requiring high per-
formance characteristic. The normal density
ACBDP and ACBMP series are available in stan-
dard Combo-D connector variants.
ACBDP and ACBMP series connectors utilize
precision machined contacts for strength and dura-
bility. The ACBDP female contact features a
rugged “Open Entry” design or PosiBand “Closed
Entry” design for even higher reliability. ACBMP
connectors features PosiBand “Closed Entry” con-
tacts and military contact plating.
ACBDP and ACBMP series connectors can be
mated to a connector which would normally expe-
rience high numbers of mating cycles. The
ACBDP/ACBMP connector can be easily replaced,
“Saving” a connector which is not easily replaced.
These connectors can also be used as a “gender
changer”. Connector Savers are also available in
standard and high density D-subminiature versions,
please consult our Professional, Industrial and
Military Performance D-subminiature Connectors
catalog for more information.
For high density 8W2, 19W1 and 45W2 adapter
variants contact Technical Sales.
