Engineering

Have you ever been working on a project and discovered that you don’t have the right tool to finish the job?  Well we have too.  Micro-D and Nano-D connectors have been around for decades.  If you are connecting a circuit in the field, you will need to bring along a specialized screwdriver to either mate or de-mate these miniature connectors.  That is no longer the case.  In 2008, Omnetics developed the world’s first Nano-D connector that could be mated and de-mated using finger latches.  Omnetics Latching Nano-D has been qualified through all of the rigorous shock and vibration test requirements defined in the MIL-DTL-32139 specification and is being successfully utilized across a wide variety of applications around the globe.  This product was quickly followed by the world’s first Latching Micro-D product introduced by Omnetics.

For almost 40 years, Omnetics Engineering team has been bringing innovation to the connector industry and is now partnering with our customers to facilitate the integration of miniature electronic connectors into a variety of closely spaced environments.  Omnetics uses a three pronged approach for the development of custom connectors.  First, we work directly with the engineers that are developing tightly packed systems to establish performance and fit requirements.  Second, we develop a solution that takes advantage of the ultra-high performance Flexpin interconnect system.  By using our proven Flexpin and socket design to make the electrical connection and modifying the system holding the contacts, we maintain a high level of confidence that the system will outperform even the most severe requirements.  Third, we take advantage of our quick turn CAD model Design-to-Fab equipment to develop a solution that will fit unique customer applications with minimal customizing costs.  Even when unique mold tools are required, we use MUD (Master Unit Die) inserts in our molding machines to keep costs and lead times down.

Whether you are looking for a just a few unique connectors to launch a new product line or thousands of specialized interconnects, let us help you develop a connector that fits your system instead of developing a system that fits standard connectors.
