Melo-D series connectors are professional quality
connectors recommended for use in sheltered, non-corrosive
indoor or outdoor environments having normal ventilation,
but without temperature or humidity controls. These fixed
contact connectors meet the dimensional and performance
requirements of IEC 60807-2, Performance Level Two.
Melo-D series connectors utilize precision machined
contacts which are fixed within the connector body. The
female contact is an open entry design contact, precision
machined of high tensile phosphor bronze.
Six standard connector variants are offered in arrangements
of 9, 15, 25, 29, 37 and 50 contacts. Each Melo-D
connector variant is available with contact terminations for
solder cup, wrap post, and straight and right angle (90°)
printed board mount terminations featuring a choice of
three printed board footprints. Melo-D series connectors
are mateable and compatible with all D-subminiature
connectors conforming to IEC 60807-2, IEC 60807-3 and
MIL-DTL-24308.
A wide assortment of printed board mounting hardware,
cable support hoods and locking systems is available from
stock.
