The Cinch Dura-Con connector system is engineered for applications demanding rugged, durable, and high-performance interconnects. Designed to minimize weight and space while maximizing reliability, Dura-Con connectors are ideal for miniaturized airborne electronics, data processing equipment, and scenarios requiring shorter signal paths. The core of the system is the Dura-Con twist pin contact, featuring a precision miniature spring cable with seven spring members for consistent contact under radial forces. This series includes MIL-DTL-83513 connectors and commercial equivalents, offering a wide array of termination and hardware options, including insulated and uninsulated wire, solder cups, and PCB tails. Custom capabilities are also available to meet specialized application requirements.
