DEUTSCH Wildcat Connectors for High Performance
Save weight and integrate more into increasingly confined spaces with smaller, higher-density connectors. Capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions such as vibration, high/low temperature and exposure to aggressive fluids, Wildcat connectors are designed for applications within the aerospace, defense, transportation markets. With a new black zinc nickel plating, these connectors are recommended for UAV systems.
