Smiths Interconnect KN, KMC and MHD Series PCB Connectors

Smiths Interconnect / Molex KN, KMC, and MHD series are high-reliability ESA-qualified PCB connectors using Hypertac Hyperboloid contact technology. KMC Series is a high-density PCB connector, with 3 rows mixing signal, power, and coaxial contacts. The MHD connector is equipped with signal and HE 807 cavities for power and coaxial contacts and offers from 52 to 400 contact positions and available in two housing versions: a ruggedized metal shell and a plastic shell. The KN Series consists of three series: KNB, KNC, and KND Series PCB Connectors. Based on the KN Series MIL-DTL-55302 compliant connectors, the KN connectors offer signal contacts and are available in the 2 and 3-row series and offer flexibility not available with other interconnects. All series are highly resistant to shock and vibrations encountered in the severe environments of commercial aviation and space applications.
