MX Series Gas Sealed Circular Connectors

Features and Advantages

1. A core feature of the MX series is its screw coupling mechanism.

2. This design provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that is both robust and convenient to apply, allowing for reliable mating and unmating in field or maintenance scenarios.

3. The defining technological feature is the use of a glass sintering hermetic process in the construction of the receptacles.

4. The primary advantage of this process is exceptional, permanent gas-tightness. It prevents leakage paths for gases and fluids, even under significant differential pressure, and ensures long-term stability across extreme temperature ranges without degradation from thermal cycling or aging that can affect polymer seals.

Application

1. Due to their proven hermetic reliability, MX series connectors are widely used for critical electric circuit connections in systems where environmental isolation is paramount.

2. They are essential for providing electrical feedthroughs in hermetically sealed containers and enclosures, such as those used for sensors, batteries, and precision instruments. Key applications include connections between internal electronic equipment and external power or signal cables in aerospace and aviation systems, subsea and maritime electronics, and high-vacuum or high-pressure industrial equipment.

3. They are also extensively used in military and defense electronics for radar, communications, and vehicle systems where exposure to harsh atmospheric conditions is a constant factor. Their compliance with MIL-DTL-26482 guarantees performance suitable for these mission-critical roles.
