The B15 Ribbon Cable connector is compliant with MIL Standard HIF3B series and features a mechanism to prevent mis-insertion. It is UL approved and suitable for use with AWG#28 cables.
The HIF3B Series ribbon cable connectors are designed to meet MIL standards and are UL approved for a wide range of applications. They feature a 2.54 mm pitch and are offered in multiple contact configurations (16‑64 contacts) with both straight and right‑angle styles.
Key features include a mis‑insertion prevention mechanism with convex guide‑key areas, robust temperature and humidity ratings, high durability (500 mating cycles), and resistance to soldering heat up to 300 °C. Detailed ordering information, material specifications, and mounting patterns are provided for easy integration into electronic assemblies.
