Electronics engineers requiring the condensed system architecture in camera inspection and vision-aided robotics applications but needing the transmission performance available from larger connectors in Camera Link applications can take advantage of Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) Connectors and 0.8 mm Cable Assemblies from 3M Electronics. 
 
Comprised of RoHS-compliant boardmount connectors and a variety of cable assemblies developed to address Camera Link and mini Camera Link (mini CL) interface requirements while offering signal integrity.
 
New connector provides a variety of SDR solutions for Machine Vision and CL applications that require a smaller form factor with high transmission speeds.
 
SDR Connector uses a ribbon contact system with a 0.8 mm contact pitch. SDR low profile, polarized boardmount connectors are constructed of high temperature plastic bodies with 30 micron gold contacts, stamped metal EMI/ESD interface, and come with installed jack sockets and supporting board mounting hardware.  The installed jack socket supports the corresponding assembly thumbscrew interface.
 
Boardmount products are offered in both vertical and right-angle RoHS-compliant PTH and SMT attachments.
 
SDR Cable Assembly consists of rugged, over-mold shells with a thumbscrew locking system.  Come in a variety of MDR/SDR configurations. Uses 28 AWG cable and wiring configurations that meet legacy CL specifications. Available in 30 AWG configuration upon request.
 
 
3M has added two features to its CL assembly offering for both MDR and SDR.  The first is an over-mold, right angle configuration that provides a low profile, thumbscrew interface which reduces the assembly profile by more than four inches compared to traditional straight-exit backshell options. The second is an extender assembly for adding length to existing cables or providing means for bulkhead/mid-span/pass-through requirements. Extender cables feature over-mold MDR receptacles.
