	Modular High-Speed Micro-D Surface Mount Receptacles Horizontal configurations feature 0.635mm PCB pad spacing except on the high-speed lines where they are spaced at 1.27mm. Vertical connectors use 0.635mm PCB spacing but can have the pins on either side or both sides of the connector to increase the pad-pad distance and reduce cross talk on the high-speed lines. "VRI" option includes integrated hardware and O-ring option for panel-to-receptacle sealing. An alignment pip is integral to the connector housing for accurate registration. The connector shell mounting legs provide a ground path. Connectors are designed for use with SMT reflow soldering processes.

	Modular High-Speed Micro-D Cable Assemblies Designed to be used with the Glenair backshells to achieve excellent EMI screening, coupled with Glenair braid. Glenair will supply your complete cable harness using high quality twinax in 28 or 30 AWG and 24-30 AWG low speed signal wire, with alternative wires types available. Please consult factory for space-flight specific applications. Glenair GMMD plug connectors on one or both ends as required. Other connector types can be used, please consult the factory. GMMD plugs include a ground spring to ensure best EMI shielding and ground continuity between plug and receptacle.
	Coax Design Sneak-Peek GMMD Coax Connectors utilize proven Nano TwistPin contacts to create a signature 50Ω coaxial contact system for the innovative, size- and weight-saving GMMD connector. The smallest rugged multiway RF coax connector in the market 50Ω on 3.18mm pitch with shield isolated from connector shell PCB edge-launched for optimized 20GHz highbandwidth performance Compatible with RG-178
	Mod Code 474 Keying Option Prevent Mis-Mating with Mod Code 474 Keying Option Keyed Micro-D connectors for "fail-safe" circuits feature specially modified shells to prevent mis-mating. The plug shell has a raised key, and the receptacle shell has a keyway. The nine pin connector accommodates three key positions. All other sizes have five positions available. The letter code following Mod Code 474 specifies the key position. "474A" plugs mate to "474A" receptacles.
	Mod Code 428 High-Temperature Epoxy Upgrade to 200° Celsius with Mod Code 428 High-Temperature Epoxy. The search for oil and gas has led to deeper reservoirs where extreme temperatures and pressures test the limits of electronics design. Oil well logging instruments must be able to withstand temperatures beyond the limits of standard connectors. Micro-D connectors are made from temperature-resistant materials. The Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled thermoplastic insulators easily withstand 400° F. The Fluorosilicone seals, TwistPin contacts and aluminum shells also are rated for continuous exposure to 400° F. The epoxy potting compound is the only component not rated for high temperature. Mod Code 428 upgrades the standard epoxy with a special 600° F. epoxy.
	Mod Code 429 for Space-Grade Applications Save Time and Cost with Modification Codes for Space Grade Micro-D's Micro-D TwistPin connectors are a good choice for all types of orbital and deep space projects. Glenair Modification Codes provide special processing for Micro‑Ds to meet NASA requirements without the need for a customer 'Statement of Work' or 'Specification Control Drawing'. This section explains Glenair Modification Code ordering, and provides valuable information on outgassing and other space flight topics.
