The MIL-DTL-83513/01 series Micro D solder Cup Terminated Metal-shell Connectors features gold-plated twist-pin non-removable contacts for solder termination to 26AWG or smaller wire. It is available in electro-less nickel plated aluminium shell, cadmium plated aluminium shell, passivated stainless steel shell. The device specifications define the minimum acceptable performance levels for micro-D connectors. The specs are rigid in their performance benchmarks, it comes to contact design, crimp fabrication, contact finish and material selection. Stamped and formed contacts are widely used in Micro-D connectors due to their ease of manufacture. But independent testing clearly shows that twist-pin style contacts provide superior performance in such areas as high temperature tolerance, contact retention and crimp strength. It has ruggedized performance outweighs the potential realized in a lesser-calibre connector.
