KSD Insert Receptacle

The KSD Insert Receptacle is an interface connector for all serial memory (Microwire, I2C, SPI) “Plug” data carriers. The device provides the physical and electrical connection between the carrier and the host hardware over a minimum operating life of 10,000 insertions and removals. This rugged receptacle provides resistance to environmental hazards such as sand, dust, salt-fog, rain, magnetic fields, drop shock, and ESD. It employs a wiping action that removes dirt and corrosive residue with every insertion and removal of the Plug. The KSD Receptacle is only 1.1” [28 mm] x 0.7” [18 mm], so it requires minimal console space. It is particularly well suited for use in outdoor and mobile applications that require a tough, weatherproof interface.
