J30JZ Twist-Pin Micro-D Connectors, Compact and Long-Life

Twist-pin contacts · ≈ 40 % of J30J volume · 9 to 100 contacts

J30JZ is a compact micro-D connector built to GJB 2446 (the Chinese counterpart of MIL-DTL-83513) with gold-plated twist-pin contacts. Each pin touches the socket at multiple points for very high contact reliability and long mating life. It is about 40 % of the volume of a standard J30J connector of the same contact count.

Frequently asked questions

What is a twist-pin contact?

A twist-pin is a pin made of twisted gold-plated wire strands. It springs against the socket wall at several points, so the contact stays reliable under vibration and over many mating cycles.

How much smaller is J30JZ than J30J?

About 40 % of the volume of a J30J connector with the same number of contacts: at least 5 mm shorter, 2.9 mm narrower and 2 mm lower.

Can J30JZ replace MIL-DTL-83513 parts?

J30JZ is built to GJB 2446, the counterpart of MIL-DTL-83513. Send us your part number and we will propose the matching configuration and samples for your mating test.
