MACHFORCE Connectors

Main Content

MACHFORCE is an innovative and rugged D38999 style 10G Ethernet connector engineered for sophisticated, high-speed electronics in the aerospace and defense market. MACHFORCE connectors were designed to maximize the performance of high-speed electronics while minimizing footprint and reducing installation time.

  • Transmits more data in less space
  • Provides outstanding high-speed performance
  • Reduces installation time
  • Offers repairability in the field

The High-Speed Module Makes it Possible

The patented High-Speed Module (HSM) is the heart of the MACHFORCE connector. It increases data density and ensures signal integrity, while also allowing for easy termination and multiple disconnections.

High Speed Module shown in various sizes

Transmit More Data in Less Space

  • The rectangular pin configuration of the HSM improves density.

  • Size 25 housing accommodates 10 Ethernet cables.

  • Size 17 housing accommodates 4 Ethernet cables.

Maximized Shell Size Density Reduces Interconnect Footprint

High speed module family

Outstanding High-Speed Performance

  • Aluminum fins of the HSM separate data pairs to reduce crosstalk.

  • A unique shield termination design provides 360° shielding.

Robust Signal Integrity for Multiple Connections

REDUCES INSTALLATION TIME & OFFERS REPAIRABILITY

  • Industry-standard tools and 22D pins & sockets allow for easy termination on-site.

  • The connector body’s interface with the HSM provides direct access to terminated wires.

  • The anti-decoupling ring allows for quick disconnect by a gloved hand.

Direct Access to Every Terminated Pin Makes On-Site Repairs Possible
