As we continue to see more products developed to meet the demands
of small lightweight technology TC have introduced their O.C.H Micro
Connectors.
Designed with wearable tech In my previous blog I discussed how this is going to become a massive area for growth in the near future.
Let’s take a closer look at this new connector range. As part of the Net Warrior Program developed
by the US Army the idea is to bring together technology to the frontline that
is bot ultra-modern and lightweight.
According to TE “Our ruggedized O.C.H. micro circular
connectors have passed the rigorous performance requirements set by the US
Army, including the mechanical and performance requirements of MIL-STD-810G.
These circular connectors feature a push-pull coupling and quick disconnect per
the US Army’s Nett Warrior specification. The connectors can be ordered against
National Stocking Numbers 5935-016595575 and 5935-016594090”.
• Contact Current Rating: 5 A (-18°C to +71°C, crimped to 22
AWG wire
Mechanical:
• Shock: MIL-STD-810G, Method 516.6, Procedure IV
• Vibration: MIL-STD-810G, Method 514.7, Procedure I, Method
514.6, Category 5, Procedure II
Check out this picture.
Is this not the soldier of the future!
It’s like sci-fi is starting to look like a real possibility within the
next few years.
It will be interesting to see how these connectors take off competed
with the Amphenol Stingray Series https://www.amphenolpcd.com/products/circular/stingray
it’s going to be a super competitive market in the race for dominance in the wearable
tech market.
I for one will be watching this market closely as what starts in the USA is closely followed by the UK and waiting to be at the forefront of new technology, I am very excited about these new innovations.
