Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company and provider of reliable connectivity solutions, announces an expansion to the Dura-Con High Temperature Micro-D rectangular connector series. These new connectors provide improved reliability for “down-hole” sensory instrumentation that monitors telemetry, pressure, temperature and vibration in many oil and gas applications.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions’ Dura-Con Micro-D High Temperature connectors allow designers of compact

This results in extended mean time between failure (MTBF) in the harsh environment it functions, which saves operators significantly in equipment downtime.
The dielectric insulation material used in the Dura-Con Micro-D High Temperature connectors is made of high temperature Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), which has a much higher melting and glass transition point than materials used in standard offerings. This increases the long-term operating temperature from a standard 125° C to 175° C. Also, the connector’s insulator has a special design feature that prevents shorts in the high vibration conditions expected in “down hole” applications.
