118438-1

Optimized for next-generation connectivity, the 118438-1 by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine redefines performance in the Rectangular Connectors - Contacts segment. Its advanced materials and precision engineering meet the rigorous demands of industrial automation systems.The Socket design incorporates redundant contact points that ensure uninterrupted signal paths. This feature is particularly valuable in safety-critical systems where connection reliability cannot be compromised.Implementing Solder, PCB methodology, these contacts achieve superior mechanical retention while minimizing thermal resistance. The termination process has been validated for use in high-vibration industrial equipment.The Gold surface treatment provides exceptional resistance to sulfurization, making it ideal for petroleum industry applications. Laboratory tests show 50% less contact degradation compared to standard finishes.With precisely controlled 5.00µin (0.127µm), the contacts maintain stable contact resistance even after environmental stress testing. This specification is critical for medical equipment requiring long-term reliability.
