Powell Electronics, a supplier of high-reliability components for defence, aerospace and industrial applications, now stocks Bernier’s CMA series of stainless-steel circular connectors. Designed for demanding conditions, these versatile connectors deliver dependable signal and data connectivity across applications such as industrial equipment, land defence, aeronautics, radio and tactical systems, rugged PCs and displays, communications, security, intercoms and encrypted data systems.
CMA series connectors benefit from a robust stainless-steel shell with a push-pull locking system for fast, secure connection and disconnection. Break-away configurations are also available where rapid separation is required. For applications where electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is critical, the connectors incorporate a 360° grounding ring designed to enhance continuity between the connector shells and ground. This provides a high level of EMC protection and helps support reliable signal and data transfer in electromagnetically challenging environments.
CMA series devices are rated IP68 both mated and unmated, providing protection against dust and water ingress. Available with between four and 22 contacts, the connectors can operate across a temperature range of -55°C up to +125°C, making them suitable for equipment exposed to severe environmental conditions.
BERNIER also offers flexibility to adapt CMA connectors to customer requirements, with reinforcements available for applications involving particularly demanding climatic, ergonomic or electromagnetic conditions. This adaptability allows the connectors to be configured for the specific requirements of rugged electronic equipment and systems.
