MIL-DTL-83513 Micro-D Connectors
Hermetic Micro-D connectors with fully reversible mounting for vacuum applications.
As more instrumentation is added for test and measurement, the need for miniaturization has increased. Micro-D connectors have reduced the footprint of the electrical connection to accommodate the market demand. Douglas Electrical Components manufactures a standard product line of hermetic Micro-D connector feedthroughs for a variety of applications. These feedthroughs create a plug-and-play electrical connection for vacuum systems. With Micro-D connectors on both sides of the feedthrough, engineers and system integrators save time and effort, eliminating the need for soldering miniature connector wires or solder cups.
Manufactured with a stainless-steel or aluminum housing, our hermetic Micro-D connector line seals with a standard Viton+ O-ring; the housing is designed with O-ring grooves on either side of the housing to be fully reversible and simplify installation. The feedthrough is designed with electroless nickel plated aluminum shell connectors. The connectors are pinned straight through the housing, such that Pin 1 on the vacuum connector is fed to Socket 1 on the atmospheric side. Standard leak rate is < 1×10-9 cc He/sec with higher performance available. All standard Micro-D pin counts and connectors are available.

FAQ
What is a Micro-D connector?
A Micro-D connector is a type of electrical connector that is used to connect electronic devices or components. It is characterized by its small size and high-density configuration, which allows for a large number of contacts to be packed into a small space. Micro-D connectors are commonly used in a variety of applications, including military, aerospace, and medical devices.
A Micro-D connector consists of a male connector and a female connector, which are joined together to form a connection. The male connector, also known as a plug, has a series of pins or contacts that mate with corresponding sockets or contacts on the female connector, also known as a receptacle. When the two connectors are joined together, the pins and sockets make an electrical connection, allowing electrical signals or power to be transmitted between the connected devices or components.
Are there different types of Micro-D connectors?
There are several different types of Micro-D connectors available, including standard, high-density, and high-speed connectors. Standard Micro-D connectors are designed for general-purpose applications and have a moderate density of contacts. High-density Micro-D connectors are designed for applications where space is limited and a large number of contacts are required. High-speed Micro-D connectors are designed for applications where high-speed data transmission is required and have special features to improve signal integrity. Contact Douglas if you have specific requirements for the type of Micro-D connector you need integrated into a hermetic design.
Will Douglas Electrical customize a Micro-D feedthrough?
Yes. Douglas manufactures a variety of solutions in which a Micro-D feedthrough is installed into a variety of machined ports and multiple sizes and connectors can be configured together. Douglas can choose from a variety of materials with in-house CNC machining to support quick turnaround.
How do I install the Micro-D feedthrough?
Refer to the datasheet for panel cutout guidelines. The Micro-D feedthrough is supplied with an O-Ring gasket, but be sure to move it to the side installed against the cutout.
What are the standard materials offered?
Stainless steel and aluminum are the standard materials available for the housing. Contact the factory for more options.
