New Product Bulletin
Luminus MP Series
Amphenol Pcd is pleased to announce the availability of our latest innovation
in light weight aerospace connection systems, Luminus MP (Metal
Plated) Series. These twist & lock, “scoop-proof” connectors provide
the same convenience and weight savings of the Luminus Series, with
the added benefit of EMI shielding and protection from ambient noise
transients.
EMI shielding is provided by an electroless copper and nickel plate, and a
copper alloy spring finger gasket. Tests show greater than 50db of
attenuation for low end signals (<100Mhz) and greater than 40db of
attenuation for high end signals (<1Ghz). This level of isolation makes
Luminus MP Series the ideal choice for AC wash lighting, fluorescent
lighting, switching power supply systems, and inter-system
connectivity signal paths, where protection against ambient noise
transients is required. (DO-160G Section 21 categories B, L and M and
DO-160G Section 20 categories S & T).
Attenuation
All existing Luminus Series configurations will be available in the MP style.
Luminus MP Series samples are currently available in the 8-pin, 12-pin,
and 25-pin configurations.

Jam Nut Receptacle
Amphenol Pcd is also pleased to announce the availability of our
latest configuration in the Luminus Series twist & lock connection
system, a circular Jam Nut Receptacle connector. This addition
provides greater flexibility in application options, allowing for
simple and secure panel PCB mounting.
Available in the Metal Plated or standard version, the Jam Nut
Receptacle is ideal for power supply cases, power distribution
panels, seat power distribution and modular power feed through applications where weight and cost are critical factors. Solder
wash standoff feet and self-tapping screw holes enable PCB mounting. PCB mounting is useful for inter-system connectivity, where
a rigid board-to-board connector is impractical.
Jam Nut Receptacle samples are currently available in the 12-pin and 25-pin configurations.
