The Ruggedized Memory Terminal (RMT) leverages Amphenol Aerospace's MIL-DTL-38999 connector design with integrated Oval Contact System contacts and Datakey Electronics' RUGGEDrive flash drive system <\/p>\n
SIDNEY, N.Y.- Amphenol Aerospace (NYSE: APH), a global leader in interconnect technologies, has collaborated with Datakey Electronics, manufacturer of rugged, portable memory systems, to provide a rugged, removable storage solution. The result of this collaboration provides designers with a ruggedized USB flash drive and panel-mount receptacle solution. <\/p>\n
The Ruggedized Memory Terminal (RMT) integrates components from both corporations. Instead of using a standard USB type A connector, the RMT leverages Datakey Electronics' SR4220PCB receptacle, which is integrated into Amphenol's field-proven MIL-DTL-38999 connector. The receptacle mates with Datakey Electronics' UFX RUGGEDrive memory tokens, which provide USB flash drive functionality, but have a more rugged construction and employ additional security features than consumer flash drives. Amphenol's high speed Oval Contact System (OCS), on the alternate side of the RMT, provides a reliable interconnect system for ruggedized computers and devices. <\/p>\n
The SR4220PCB receptacle in the RMT has a cycle life of 50,000 insertion and removal operations minimum. Amphenol's OCS is a high density, high speed, rugged interconnect that withstands a minimum of 500 mating cycles. The MIL-DTL-38999 connector offers the highest performance capabilities for both general duty and severe environment applications. A screw-on cover is used to provide an IP68 seal when the cover is fully mated. The cover can be used both when a UFX token is present or not. <\/p>\n
Paul Plitzuweit, Senior Product Manager for Datakey Electronics says, \"We are very excited about this partnership, as it gives designers an ultra-rugged flash drive solution without the pitfalls of using a consumer USB receptacle.\" <\/p>\n
Jared Sibrava, Director of Amphenol Aerospace's High Speed Solutions Division says, \"Coupling the Oval Contact System, MIL-DTL-38999 connector, and Datakey Electronics' rugged USB drives and receptacles is a good fit for systems integrators as they solve complex system requirements regarding removable storage. The solution has been proven rugged and reliable for many different environments customers may face.\" <\/p>\n
Designed for harsh environment applications, the RMT is ideal for use in the defense and commercial markets. Optional configurations are available. <\/p>\n
