March 1, 2011 – CONEC releases non-magnetic D-Sub I/O connector for use in areas with high magnetic fields. CONEC replaced the usual steel shells and hardware with tin-plated brass and brackets of diecast zinc. By using copper alloy shells, tin-plated brass hardware components like screws or threaded rivets and diecast zinc brackets, this connector is now completely non-magnetic. CONEC offers the revised non-ferrous materials in all of the D-Sub connector families including high-density, standard and EMI filter connectors that are also widely used in medical imaging systems. Non-magnetic D-subs are available in standard densities of 9 through 50 positions, in solder cup and pc tail versions.
High-density D-subs in the product line include sizes from 15 to 78 positions, also in solder cup and pc tail versions. Combination D-subs are available in 21 standard arrangements. EMI filter connectors are also available with this non-magnetic capability. Current ratings are from 5 to 40 amps, depending on the base connector chosen.
