FFC3A20-15-G
GCT
Product details
The FFC3A20-15-G by GCT is a breakthrough in FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors technology, designed for aerospace-grade signal transmission. This high-performance connector features advanced EMI shielding and meets MIL-DTL-38999 specifications for extreme environments.Engineered for FFC, FPC configurations, this solution offers 360 shielding effectiveness. The quadrax contact arrangement maintains 85 impedance for RF applications.With Surface Mount installation, the connector provides hermetic sealing up to 500psi. The glass-to-metal seal prevents outgassing in vacuum conditions.The Contacts, Vertical - 1 Sided design incorporates tri-start threaded coupling. The self-cleaning contacts maintain <5m resistance after 500 mating cycles.Supporting 15 contacts, this high-density version saves 40% space versus circular connectors. The coaxial/power hybrid design simplifies system architecture.The 0.039" (1.00mm) radial spacing prevents corona discharge at altitude. The graded insulation design withstands 20kV/mm field intensity.Solder method features crimp-and-solder contacts. The gas-tight joints prevent oxidation in cryogenic environments.Compatible with 0.30mm cables, the strain relief meets EN 3475-701 standards. The anti-vibration design survives 50G mechanical shock.The 0.217" (5.50mm) profile enables stacking in avionics racks. The aluminum housing provides 10W/ C thermal conductivity.Featuring Slide Lock mechanism, the connector achieves positive lock at 35lb-in torque. The visual indicator confirms proper engagement.The Tapered interface prevents FOD (Foreign Object Debris). The captive backshell meets NAS1599 specifications.Using Phosphor Bronze alloys, the contacts maintain elasticity from -65 C to 200 C. The precipitation-hardened beryllium copper meets ASTM B194.The Gold plating system prevents fretting corrosion. The aerospace version features 50 gold over nickel underplate.Constructed from Polyamide (PA6T), Nylon 6T, the housing survives 2000hr salt spray. The anodized aluminum version meets MIL-A-8625.The Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) actuator operates in radiation environments. The Teflon-impregnated version withstands 10^6 rads.Pick and Place Cap, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) include integrated backshell bonding. The EMI/RFI shielding effectiveness exceeds 100dB at 10GHz.Rated for 125V at 50,000 feet, the connector meets DO-160G standards. The corona-resistant design prevents partial discharge.Qualified for -40°C ~ 85°C range, the materials maintain properties after thermal cycling. The matched CTE design prevents thermal stress.Compliant with UL94 V-0 standards, the materials produce minimal smoke. The self-extinguishing version meets FAA 25.853.
