1712248014

The 1712248014 from Molex establishes new benchmarks in Pluggable Connectors for aerospace and defense applications. This ruggedized connector system combines military-grade durability with precision signal integrity, engineered to perform in extreme environments from satellite payloads to battlefield communications.Featuring a Receptacle with Cage, Ganged (2x8) configuration, the connector meets MIL-DTL-83513 shock/vibration standards. Its heat-sink-equipped variants demonstrate 40 C lower junction temperatures in enclosed avionics bays, enabling reliable operation at 70,000 feet altitude.As a zSFP+ specialist, this component supports harsh-environment protocols. CFP2 versions maintain <0.5dB insertion loss up to 25GHz despite 15G vibration - critical for electronic warfare phased array antenna interconnects.The 320 (16 x 20) arrangement optimizes SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) in space applications. 72-position versions provide 36 differential pairs in half the volume of legacy connectors, crucial for satellite payload miniaturization.The Through Hole, Right Angle design addresses aerospace installation challenges. Free-hanging inline configurations allow 20mm cable movement without stress transfer, preventing connector failure in flexible radar array deployments on fighter aircraft.Press-Fit technology ensures mission-critical reliability. Solder cup variants withstand 1000+ thermal shock cycles (-65 C to +150 C) with hermetic seals, maintaining <1 10^-9 atm-cc/sec helium leak rates per MIL-STD-883.Incorporating Board Guide, EMI Shielded, Light Pipe, the connector exceeds military specifications. EMI shielding effectiveness >90dB at 18GHz prevents compromising emissions, while integrated light pipes enable status monitoring in blackout conditions aboard naval vessels.Gold selection addresses extreme conditions. Gold-nickel plating demonstrates <10m contact resistance after 500 salt fog exposure hours, outperforming standard finishes in coastal radar installations by 8:1 margin.With 30.0µin (0.76µm) precision, the connector ensures long-term performance. The 0.25 m gold-over-nickel variant maintains stable contact resistance through 500 mating cycles - essential for maintenance-free operation in submarine communication systems.
