These components are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions while ensuring secure, high-performance connections.

Application Field
3357-9225 series components are suitable for use in applications requiring rugged, effective connections, including: Telco racks, industrial control systems, LAN/WLAN equipment, military airframes, military tactical equipment, robotic industrial systems, motor control systems, medical, and satellite equipment.

Working Principle
This series is a full-contact, high-reliability, mechanical-contact backshell connector featuring a two-plane contact system. It offers enhanced performance in environments with a high degree of mechanical or thermal shocks and vibrations, and provides excellent EMI/RFI shielding. The two-plane contact system ensures low-resistance, reliable connections and provides both power and signal contacts in a single device, reducing the number of components and weight. The device also works as a low profile breaker, distributes power and offers mechanical and dynamic stability.

The 3357-9225 series has a unique design that allows for flexible installation, which includes an optional front insertion-side for higher accessibility and low weight assembly. The components also feature a built-in strain relief, which improves the operational reliability in harsh environments. The backshells prevent contaminants from entering the system while providing complete 360° shielding protection.

The 3357-9225 series connector is rated at MIL-DTL-83723 standard and with an operating temperature range from -55°C to 150°C. These connectors feature both 1/4 turn fastening and easy assembly, along with a reliable contact design for maximum mating cycles. The low-profile form factor allows the connectors to be used in tight spaces, and the robust construction ensures long-term durability and precise connections.

The 3357-9225 series D-sub backshells, hoods, and connectors also feature optional lids, sold separately, which can be used to provide additional environmental protection. In addition, the device’s optional lids are equipped with optional screwlocks, which provide enhanced protection against vibration.

Overall, the 3357-9225 series is an excellent choice for applications in aerospace, defense, industrial control, and telecommunications due to its rugged, high-reliability design. It offers excellent connections while providing 360° shielding protection from contaminants, as well as optional lids for enhanced environmental protection. The easy-to-assemble construction and reliable contact design make the 3357-9225 an ideal choice for any application requiring secure, effective connections.
