2198318-4

The 2198318-4 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors delivers military-grade performance in Pluggable Connectors for unmanned systems. This ruggedized connector solution meets MIL-DTL-38999 specifications while providing lightweight connectivity essential for drone and robotic applications.Featuring Receptacle with Cage, Ganged (2x1) configuration, the connector optimizes SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) characteristics. Composite shell versions weigh 60% less than metal equivalents while maintaining equivalent EMI shielding for UAV avionics.As a zSFP+ leader, this component supports high-vibration environments. Nano-D variants withstand 50G shock loads while maintaining <0.5dB insertion loss at 10GHz - critical for missile guidance system interconnects.The 40 (20 x 2) configuration supports modern unmanned systems. 38-pin versions accommodate 12 power, 20 signal and 6 coaxial contacts in minimal footprint for multi-spectral sensor payloads.The Through Hole, Right Angle design addresses space-constrained UAV installations. Surface-mount versions save 70% volume compared to through-hole designs, enabling compact flight controller packaging in micro-drones.Utilizing Press-Fit technology, the connector ensures reliable field connections. Solderless crimp contacts maintain <10m resistance after 1000 mating cycles, enabling quick sensor replacement in battlefield robotics.With Board Guide, EMI Shielded, Light Pipe capabilities, the connector meets extreme environment demands. Self-cleaning contact designs prevent contamination from sand and dust, maintaining reliability in desert operations.Gold or Gold-Palladium selection combats harsh conditions. Gold-cobalt alloys demonstrate 5x better wear resistance than standard gold in sandy environments while maintaining low contact resistance.
