New Product Bulletin

Amphenol Pcd is pleased to announce the availability of our latest innovation

in light weight aerospace connection systems,

Luminus MP (Metal

Plated) Series. These twist & lock, “scoop-proof” connectors provide

the same convenience and weight savings of the Luminus Series, with

the added benefit of EMI shielding and protection from ambient noise

transients.

Luminus MP Series

Jam Nut Receptacle

Amphenol Pcd is also pleased to announce the availability of our

latest configuration in the Luminus Series twist & lock connection

system, a circular

Jam Nut Receptacle connector. This addition

provides greater flexibility in application options, allowing for

simple and secure panel PCB mounting.

Available in the Metal Plated or standard version, the Jam Nut

Receptacle is ideal for power supply cases, power distribution

panels, seat power distribution and modular power feed through applications where weight and cost are critical factors. Solder

wash standoff feet and self-tapping screw holes enable PCB mounting. PCB mounting is useful for inter-system connectivity, where

a rigid board-to-board connector is impractical.

Jam Nut Receptacle samples are currently available in the 12-pin and 25-pin configurations.

Benefits

Molded plastic locking ring with anti-rotation (panel mounting) Security in high vibration & shock environments

Solder wash standoff feet & two-thread cutting screws holes

(PCB mounting)

Helps ensure solder joints do not bear stress during installation

and pass through vibration and shock when panel mounted

Silicone O-ring

Environmental sealing and stack up tolerance

Optional metalized O-ring

Ensures case to connector EMI shielding

EMI shielding is provided by an electroless copper and nickel plate, and a

copper alloy spring finger gasket. Tests show greater than 50db of

attenuation for low end signals (<100Mhz) and greater than 40db of

attenuation for high end signals (<1Ghz). This level of isolation makes

Luminus MP Series the ideal choice for AC wash lighting, fluorescent

lighting,

switching

power

supply

systems,

and

inter-system

connectivity signal paths, where protection against ambient noise

transients is required. (DO-160G Section 21 categories B, L and M and

DO-160G Section 20 categories S & T).

All existing Luminus Series configurations will be available in the MP style.

Luminus MP Series samples are currently available in the 8-pin, 12-pin,

and 25-pin configurations.
