36 connectpositronic.com POSIBAND CONTACTS
Closed entry female contacts are often used to enhance the performance and reliability of connectors. In legacy designs, a sleeve is placed over a standard “split-tine” contact to achieve the closed entry feature. However, Posiband, a true closed entry contact, has an unbroken ring of solid material at the mating end of the contact. This design offers a degree of increased reliability while the split-tine approach has its inherent weaknesses. The PosiBand overcomes these weaknesses!
FEATURES
Separates mechanical and electrical functions for superior performance PosiBand Legacy Closed Entry Maximized surface area at the male/female contact interface + +
Low contact resistance improves system efficiency
Lower average insertion forces without compromising electrical Assembled view Assembled view performance requirements
Contact body does not require annealing of the crimp barrel eliminating unintentional heat treating of the mating barrel Mating Barrel Cross Sections Qualified to SAE AS39029, MIL-DTL-24308 and the contact body copper alloy slot to form higher 40 gram separation requirement of the NASA spring clip (unbroken ring) two tines contact body (split) GSFC S-311 specification
