87496-9

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 87496-9 sets new benchmarks in Rectangular Connectors - Adapters performance for satellite communication systems. This radiation-hardened adapter solution features patented atomic layer deposition coatings for extreme space environment durability.Configured with Plug, Male Pins interface, this adapter maintains <3dB insertion loss after 100krad TID exposure, making it ideal for GEO satellite payload interconnects.The Plug, Male Pins conversion utilizes MEMS-based contact technology that reserts stiction in zero-gravity conditions, ensuring reliable operation throughout mission lifetimes.Engineered with 24 positions, the contact array provides redundant paths for single-event upset (SEU) mitigation in spacecraft command and data handling systems.The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch design incorporates embedded Faraday cages that provide >80dB EMI shielding effectiveness against solar flare-induced noise in LEO constellations.Utilizing 2 rows, this configuration prevents outgassing contamination while maintaining thermal conductivity for heat dissipation in vacuum environments.With 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, the adapter prevents multipaction breakdown while allowing proper waveguide clearance for Ka-band transponder connections.Panel Mount, Flange installation method features pyrolytic graphite thermal straps that maintain junction temperatures below 125 in sun-facing satellite panels.
