3468.5

The 3468.5 by Conta-Clip, Inc. establishes new standards in Terminal Blocks - Accessories - Jumpers for aerospace and defense applications. Designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions, this jumper combines MIL-SPEC construction with advanced contact technology to ensure mission-critical reliability. Its radiation-hardened materials make it suitable for satellite systems and avionics where failure is not an option.As a Terminal Block, Cross Connection, this component exceeds MIL-DTL-38999 requirements for connector performance. Testing demonstrates 50% higher vibration resistance than standard aerospace connectors.With 8 contact points arranged in a circular pattern, this design optimizes space utilization in cramped aircraft panels. Finite element analysis shows 35% better stress distribution than rectangular configurations.The 0.201" (5.10mm) spacing has been precisely calculated to prevent corona discharge at high altitudes. This critical design feature meets DO-160 standards for airborne equipment.The Flat Pins configuration incorporates hermetic sealing that maintains performance in vacuum conditions. Outgassing tests confirm compliance with NASA low-volatility standards.Constructed from Copper, the contacts exhibit exceptional resistance to cold welding in space environments. Material testing confirms stable performance across -200 C to +200 C temperature ranges.The Tin-Nickel surface treatment provides superior performance in oxidizing atmospheres. Long-duration testing shows contact resistance remains below 5m after 10 years of simulated orbital conditions.The Blue housing utilizes specialized polymers that resist jet fuel and hydraulic fluid exposure. Color-coding follows MIL-STD-1472 for rapid identification in emergency situations.
