8A26-2030-LJ-PR

The 8A26-2030-LJ-PR by 3M 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 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 SAS, Mini 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 26 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 Surface Mount, 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 Solder 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 capabilities, the connector meets extreme environment demands. Self-cleaning contact designs prevent contamination from sand and dust, maintaining reliability in desert operations.Gold selection combats harsh conditions. Gold-cobalt alloys demonstrate 5x better wear resistance than standard gold in sandy environments while maintaining low contact resistance.Precision-controlled 30.0µin (0.76µm) ensures mission reliability. The 0.75 m gold plating maintains stable contact resistance through 200 mating cycles - critical for maintenance-free operation in reconnaissance drones.
