ITT Cannon, LLC
Product details
The MDSSTS by ITT Cannon, LLC pioneers D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Contacts technology for space-grade applications. These radiation-hardened contacts maintain signal integrity in orbital environments while withstanding extreme thermal cycling.Qualified for Signal spacecraft systems, the contacts exceed ESA ECSS-Q-ST-70-60 outgassing requirements. Testing shows <0.1% total mass loss and <0.01% collected volatile condensable materials.The Female Socket configuration utilizes redundant contact points for mission-critical reliability. Testing confirms 100% functionality after 10^9 mechanical cycles in vacuum.Space-grade Stamped manufacturing prevents cold welding in vacuum. Surface analysis shows <5 surface roughness to minimize atomic-scale adhesion.Designed for 26-28 AWG spacecraft wiring, the contacts withstand 500 thermal cycles from -190 C to +150 C. Testing per MIL-STD-883 Method 1010 shows zero mechanical failures.Crimp methods are validated for zero-gravity assembly. The solder variant demonstrates perfect fillet formation in vacuum reflow conditions.Gold coating prevents tin whisker formation in space vacuum. SEM analysis confirms zero whisker growth after 5000 hours at 85 C/85%RH followed by vacuum bake.With 3.94µin (0.10µm) deposition, the contacts maintain stable emissivity characteristics. Testing shows <5% variation in thermal radiative properties after UV exposure equivalent to 5 years GEO.
