Nicomatic - Military Connectors for Onboard Systems

NICOMATIC is a 30-year old company with a worldwide presence. We are the inventor of the CMM micro-connector system developed for the defence, aerospace and transportation markets. As a specialist in the electronics field, we manufacture passive components for electronic on-board systems.

Our CMM interconnect system is a 2mm pitch connector with proven high reliability under the most extreme environmental conditions. Features include:

• Board-to-board, board-to-wire and wire-to-wire connections
• High density – saves up to 50% space and weight over conventional connectors or Sub-D
• One, two or three rows from two to 120 contacts
• Harsh environment usage
• Mixed layout option: high frequency (up to 6GHz), high power (up to 20A), and low frequency contacts (3A) in one connector
• MIL-C-55302 and BS-9525-F0033
• RoHS and whiskers-free
• Rack and locked interconnection

In addition, we also supply PCB connectors, connectors for flexible circuits and flex-cable jumpers of our own production as well as connector cable assemblies and custom solutions according to your specification.

CMM MICRO CONNECTORS

The CMM micro-connectors are designed to meet or exceed the relevant electrical and environmental performances described in MIL and BS standards.

Our product range is divided into the following standardized series of connectors:

Low frequency:

• CMM100 : one row, 02 to 25 ways, low frequency 3A and fixing by latch
• CMM200 : two rows, 04 to 50 ways, low frequency 3A and fixing by latch
• CMM220 : two rows, 04 to 60 ways, low frequency 3A and fixing by screw
• CMM320 : three rows, 006 to 120 ways, low frequency 3A and fixing by screw

Mixed-Layout:

• CMM220 : two rows, min. Low frequency 2 contacts + max. number of high power (up to 20A) or high frequency contacts (6GHz) = 15 & fixing by screw
• CMM320 : three rows, min. low frequency 6 contacts + max. number of high power (up to 20A) or high frequency (6GHz) = 20 & fixing by screw
• CMM340 : three rows, min. low frequency 6 contacts + max high power (up to 10A) or high frequency (1,5GHz ) = 64 & fixing by screw
