MIL-C-55302 Part Builder
Application Standards/ Requirements
Military designation: M55302. Proprietary designations: MB, DB, I/O, PC. Rectangular connectors for attachment to printed circuit boards. Offers high contact density capability. Contain Bristle Brush contacts, consisting of multiple strands of high tensile strength wire that are bundled together to form a “brush-like” contact. Military versions meet MIL-C-55302/166 through /172.
Coupling/ Mounting Contact Termination
For mounting to printed circuit boards or discrete wires.

MIL-C-55302Body styles offered:
  • Mother board
  • Daughter board
  • Input/Output
  • PC
Flexibility in mating:
  • Perpendicular boards
  • End to end boards
  • Parallel boards
  • Wire to boards
  • Card extenders
Polarization keys provide up to 256 possible positions.
Brush contact termination. (Also called B3 contacts).

Termination Styles:
  • PCB throughhole solder
  • Wire wrap (MB only)
  • Crimp to discrete wires (Input/Output only)
  • Solderless complaint into 0.040 plated through holes (MB only)
Arrangements:
  • 2, 3 or 4 row arrangements with 10 to 100 contacts per row in one contact per row increments.
  • 0.100 inch center to center square grid contact spacing.
Performance Environ./Elect. Markets
Operating temp. from –65°C to +125°C. Connector bodies are high performance glass-filled thermoplastic moldings. Connector configurations are capable of supporting data rates up to 400 Mbps. Bristle Brush contacts provide:
  • Low mating/unmating forces - 70% to 90% reduction from conventional pin and socket contacts.
  • Proven durability and long contact life - over 20,000 cycles of mating and unmating without performance degradation.
  • Multiple points (14-17) of contact per mated contact.
  • Intermittency-free performance.
  • Redundant current paths (stable, low resistance).
  • Proven electrical and gas tight contact sites.
  • Medical Equipment
  • Military and Commercial Aviation
  • IC Chip Testers
  • Military Vehicles
  • GPS Systems
  • Space applications
  • Telecommunications
  • Factory Automation
Optional Features Links
  • Locking screws and bushings are available for attaching connectors to boards.
  • Contact styles available: straight, 90 degree, PCB stub, wire wrap and crimp.
  • Small 10-contact arrangement styles are available with option of multi-colored moldings for color coding applications.
