Lane Slices Lead Times For ITW McMurdo Range

Lane Electronics says it has cut the lead times on manufacturing ITW McMurdo connectors.

Lane is a franchised assembling distributor for several ITW McMurdo product ranges including the 801 and 801CX Series two part PCB connector, and the Micronector 200 and Micronector 300 high density 2mm pitch connectors. As a result of the local manufacture, all three MIL/Aerospace approved connector ranges are available to standard and also customer specific specifications on very short lead times.

All three product ranges have been designed to meet the latest UK and international standards, for use primarily in MIL/Aerospace applications from fast jet to gun turret, where high resistance to vibration and extreme reliability are critical. Other applications would be high-end engineering where constant exposure to vibration could be an issue that has caused other two-part connectors to fail.

The 801 and 801CX Series utilize a 1.27mm (0.05in) staggered pitch with 2.54mm (0.1in) between rows and can be supplied in a variety of contact configurations. The Series is approved to BS9525 N0001 and was originally designed to meet the requirements of BS9525 F0006, F00012, F0027, F0041 and MIL-C-55302/140-155.

ITW McMurdo’s Micronector 200 series can be released to BS9525 – F0033 and is designed for board-to-board or cable-to-cable applications. Micronector 300 series connectors are three row, 2mm pitch products which can be supplied in 27, 51 and 78 way sizes. They are available in a variety of formats including male straight pc, 90º pc and crimp terminations, and female straight pc, flexi circuit and crimp terminations as well as a male panel mount version.
