Comparison with micro-D

microComp® benefits:

Save money: global cost of ownership is less expensive for microComp® than for micro-D. With micro-D any change in

design or quality issue leads to complete harness replacement as micro-D are pre-wired and non repairable. microComp®

solution is more flexible thanks to the removable crimp contacts.

Save time in development: microComp® has removable crimp contacts so you can easily and quickly change your harness

configuration.

Save weight: the high technology composite shells (strengthened fiber glass material for maximum mechanical resistance)

makes microComp® very light and robust.

Same panel cut-out: microComp® connectors have the same external dimensions as MIL-DTL 83513 (except for size H

and J).

Easier to use: mating and unmating force is lower for microComp® than for micro-D.

Weight comparison: 

microComp® is lighTer

Comparison between the max weight (connector + contacts) given in microComp® standard (ESCC 3401/081, 082, 083)

and in micro-D standard (ESCC 3401/029).

Note: No comparison with MIL-DTL 83513 standard because no max weight are given in this standard.

Mating force comparison: 

microComp® is easier to mate and unmate

even with more than 100 contacts.

Comparison between the max mating and unmating force given in microComp® standard (ESCC 3401/081, 082, 083)

and in micro-D standard (MIL-DTL 83513).
