iMINI C: Compact Rugged Circular Connectors for Harsh Conditions

As the smallest connector in the product line, the iMINI C is ideal for tight spaces that do not require various connections. The robust SFF connector can perform in demanding, harsh-environment applications where size and reliability are crucial.

The miniature high-reliability connector is engineered to maximize the number of connections into a small footprint, effectively reducing the total area of the printed circuit board (PCB) and overall equipment height.

Durability

 The iMINI C delivers unsurpassed durability with dependable interconnect solutions in extreme operating conditions through the use of the following materials: 

  • Connector Interface Sealing O-Ring: Silicone
  • Contact Carrier: Rigid PVC
  • Contacts: Gold Over Nickel Plating, CU Alloy
  • Coupling Nut: Stainless Steel or Nickel Plated Brass
  • Jam Nut: Glass Filled PBT
  • Mounting Gasket: Neoprene
  • Overmold: PVC, TPU, or other, depending on cable selection
  • Panel Mount Housing: Stainless Steel or Nickel Plated Brass
  • Plug/Receptacle Housing: Glass Filled PBT

Performance

 

 

The harsh environment miniature connector offers compact, robust performance in various types of demanding environments, boasting the following capabilities:

  • Ingress Protection: IP67, IP 68, IP69K
  • Voltage Rating (RMS): 300V
  • Amperage Rating: Up to 13A

Screw-locks and metal latches ensure secure retention. The overmold material and wire/cable selection can impact the overall maximum continuous temperature rating of the assembly, which ranges between 80 ºC and 105 ºC.

Behind the Design: Engineered for Tough Environments in Small Packages

The iMINI Series is available in multiple contact configurations and can be used in various applications for signal or power, up to a 300V rating.

Specifications for the iMINI C include:

  • Available Contact Sizes: 9, 10, or 12
  • Basic Plug Max. OD: 1 ¼"
  • Cable Diameter: Maximum of 0.52"
  • Coupling Thread Size: 1 1/8" – 16 UN
  • Max Wire Size: 14 AWG
  • Overmold Length with Strain Relief: 2"
  • Receptacle Mounting: ¾" NPT
  • Receptable OD: 1 1/8" square

The rugged construction of the iMINI C consists of a small metal shell connector with a threaded coupling. It is available in either two or three positions with 20 awg contacts, or seven positions with 22 awg contacts, making it an ideal quick-turn connector solution.

Applications

  • Industrial automation
  • Medical devices
  • Military systems
  • Portable equipment

Choosing the Best Sealed Electronic Connector

When choosing between iMINI connectors, it is important to evaluate the following considerations:

  1. Contact size (wire gauge)
  2. EMI/RFI shielding requirements
  3. IP rating (environmental sealing)
  4. Number of circuits

iCONN Systems provides the iMINI C spec sheet to help engineers determine technical specifications, such as diameter or pin counts.
