Tyco Electronics has announced the availability of a new circular plastic connector (CPC), the micro CPC. Micro CPC connectors accommodate 2-7 contact positions for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board or wire-to-panel installations. The design incorporates a contact system making the connector suitable for disposable medical electronics applications. It is also suitable for use in industrial and instrumentation applications.

The micro CPC connector uses spring probe contact technology, which helps improve the reliability of mobile and handheld devices. Spring-probe contacts offer new options for creating interconnections on smaller footprints, helping designers and engineers satisfy the ever-rising demands for performance, functionality and portability. The spring-probe contact design provides a redundant internal current path for optimal electrical performance when exposed to vibration, motion and mechanical shock. Spring-probe contacts typically provide up to 5,000 mating cycles and are suitable for up to 2A. A screw-machined pin and socket contact arrangement is also available.
