Positronic Industries Adds New Member to Scorpion Connector Series

Positronic Industries is pleased to announce the addition of a new low-profile version of its popular Scorpion power/signal connector. The 8.20 millimeter connector allows customers to maximize size, weight and power reductions.

According to Positronic Industries, three main characteristics make the new low-profile Scorpion product unique. First, the connector's modular tool design allows for nearly limitless variety of customer-defined contact arrangements. Second, the molding process yields a one-piece insulator. Third, customers can define the connector width as long as the maximum envelope of 101.0 millimeters is not exceeded.

The low-profile Scorpion provides customers the opportunity to configure a power/signal connector from a wide selection of modules. Module options include size 12 contacts, size 20 contacts, size 22 contacts and blanks/spacers. Contacts are rated up to 55 amps for size 12, 12 amps for size 20 and three amps for size 22 contacts. Blanks/spacers allow customers to space power and signal contacts to tailor creepage and clearance values to meet design criteria.

In addition to contact terminations that include board-to-board, board-to-cable, cable-to-cable and panel mount options, additional features and accessories of the low-profile Scorpion include ventilation slots in the connector housing, an integral blind mate system, integral locking system, float mounts, panel mount clips and board locks.

Since 1966 Positronic Industries has been supplying high reliability electrical connectors to a variety of industries. These products include D-subminiature connectors, high current density power connectors, rectangular connectors and circular connectors. Positronic is vertically integrated, which gives the company flexibility to modify standards or develop unique, custom products for their customers.
