2342886-2

The 2342886-2 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 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 Cage, Ganged (1 x 3) with Heat Sink 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 QSFP-DD (Double Density) 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 Through Hole 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 EMI Shielded, 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.
