Kona Right-Angled SIL Power Connectors
The Kona high-reliability range has been expanded with the new right-angle, single-in-line (SIL) power connectors. This range extension includes angled thru-board and cable options, along with EMI shielding, enhancing system design flexibility for aerospace, defense, and other high-performance applications – increasing the Kona line-up by over 30%.
What’s new in the Kona Right Angle Series?
The new components include:
- Nine right-angle 2, 3, and 4 pin SIL connectors for thru-board or board-to-panel configurations.
- Right-angle cable mount female connectors
- Right-angle board mount male connectors
- Optional EMI shielding attachments
This update supports engineers designing for high-density, high-current applications where space saving and signal integrity are essential.
High-Reliability Performance for Harsh Environments
Kona connectors are engineered to deliver 60A per contact in demanding conditions. Key features include:
- Beryllium copper contacts with gold plating for low contact resistance and long-term reliability
- Individually shrouded, recessed contacts and polarized mating to prevent misconnection
- 8.5 mm pitch and 3.65 mm PC tails for robust board retention
- Operating temperature range from -65°C to +150°C, using PPS thermoplastic housings
- RoHS compliant construction
They are manufactured from aluminium alloy and add only 2.2 mm in height, helping customers meet stringent EMC requirements.
Aerospace, Defense, and Beyond
Kona is designed for high-performance sectors where failure is not an option. These right-angle additions extend the series’ reach into:
- Avionics and uncrewed systems (UAVs, UGVs)
- Military ground and airborne platforms
- High-reliability power delivery in compact control modules
- Embedded systems requiring thru-board and cable power feeds
The Kona range is among our most advanced connector series and is used for extreme environments. The addition of right-angled products will provide significant space-saving for our customers, allowing us to target an increased set of applications.- Ryan Smart, VP of Product
