Product Overview

M83513

Aptiv Interconnect specializes in high-density, microminiature D-subminiature (Micro-D) electrical connectors that adhere to the MIL-DTL-83513 military specification. The Micro-D standard and featuring a D-shaped shell, are engineered for extreme miniaturization, high contact density, and robust performance in harsh environments. Widely used in military, aerospace, medical, and industrial electronics where space and weight are critical, our M83513 connectors incorporate a D-shaped metal shell for EMI/RFI shielding and polarization, along with high-reliability contact systems for superior mating performance under vibration and shock. They provide excellent electrical characteristics in a compact package, making them ideal for complex, high-performance electronic systems, and are available in various configurations, including wired, PCB mount, and custom arrangements.

Features and Benefits

  • Ultra-compact rectangular form factor : up to 50% smaller and lighter than traditional Sub-D connectors.
  • Drawn contact system : multi-point contact engagement ensures excellent vibration and shock resistance.
  • Multiple shell materials : aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, or nickel-plated for weight or corrosion optimization.
  • Variety of terminations : solder cup, wire pigtail, PCB tail, and flex-circuit mount options.
  • Integrated jackscrew coupling : positive retention under vibration; optional quick-disconnect designs available.
  • High contact density : up to 100 contacts in a shell less than 1.5" wide.
  • Hermetic Sealing Options: Specialized versions for vacuum or pressure applications.
