Nemesis SC connectors from ITT Interconnect Solutions can be sealed and cleaned

Nemesis SC MIL-DTL-38999-style connectors are blind-mateable and feature ITT Cannon’s innovative Pogo Pin/Pad and Breakaway technology, which increases the number of mating cycles to over 10 000 mating cycles. Devices can be cleaned more than 2500 times. Contacts are rated at 3A. The first products are based on the key elements of the MIL-DTL-38999 specification; but, a full range of circular and rectangular styles are also planned. Currently available devices can have 7, 14 or 19 pins, feature five locking positions and are colour-coded for simple identification.

New Nemesis connectors are fully sealed (IP 67) in the unmated state and resistant to salt spray for more than 500 hours. Critically for on-soldier applications, they also weigh less than 25g, measure less than 15mm in diameter, and have an anti-reflecting coat. They are also RoHS-compliant and have excellent EMC properties.
