Thorkom II uses the same screw machine contacts as Thorkom I.
All PCB mount connectors come with contacts pre-loaded, so the customer does not have to buy them separately. – Thorkom II
The same crimp and insertion tools can use for Thorkom I and II.
Thorkom II offers a potting shell and field installable backshells for both sizes, 7 & 24.
When ordering a cable mounted part, the backshell / potting shell comes with the connector as a complete item. – Thorkom II
Contacts are rated for high power at 5 Amps.
Thorkom II connectors are capable of greater than 1000 mating cycles with no loss of performance.
Most parts are available with optional Polysulfone, a high temperature material able to withstand the sterilization process in the medical field.
Enhanced safety feature prevents accidental unmating.
