Omnetics Connector Corporation has been working in the Military and Defence Industry for over 35 Years. They understand this market requires highly reliable solutions for applications, when failure quite simply is not an option.

Omentics commitment to quality product lines, is evident in their military qualified Micro Sub miniature-D (MIL-DTL-83513) and Nano Sub miniature-D (MIL-DTL-32139) solutions. These rectangular configurations can withstand extreme temperature variations, in conjunction with high levels of shock and vibration, while maintaining low milliohm contact resistance values. It all starts up front with Omnetics proven Flexpin contact system. The Omnetics Flexpin is a highly robust one piece stamped and formed contact design with hundreds of millions of contacts operating reliably in the field today. Omnetics Flexpin contact design offers four redundant contact points not two. Many suppliers contacts only offer 3 contact points due the shape of the tines.

Omnetics offers a variety of options for users to choose from aside from rectangular Mil-Spec configurations. Circular solutions are readily available utilising the same proven, rugged materials found in the Mil-Spec options. This allows designers the ability to scale down previous MIL-DTL-38999 circulars without affecting quality or performance.  Omnetics also offers hybrid connector options which combine power and signal transmission in a single small package making them a perfect fit for SWaP challenged designers.

Designed for the most demanding defence and military electronics platforms, Omnetics military electronics solutions provide consistent performance in drones, battlefield communication systems, navigation platforms, and unmanned vehicles. Their lightweight, rugged construction enhances system efficiency and assists manufacturers in meeting strict size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements without compromising reliability.
