Scorpion General Information
Scorpion brings a unique approach to modular
connector design that is only available from Positronic.
Scorpion provides the flexibility to configure theconnector to meet your specifications. The differenceis how Positronic builds the final connector, using ourinnovative tooling and injection molding process. The
result is a one-piece insulator with machined contacts,
ready to perform.
Trust the Scorpion to deliver The Science of Certainty.

NOTES ABOUT SCORPION CONNECTORS■A Scorpion part number can have a maximum of 30 characters. If your connector configuration exceeds this number,a special part number will be created for you.

■

Pinout sequence may not be continuous. Contact Technical Sales for more information.

■

Contact Technical Sales to configure a connector whose length exceeds 101.00 [3.976].

■

For connectors offering both fixed and removable contacts, contact Technical Sales.

■

Alignment bar is available for size 16, size 18, size 22, and hyperboloid Ø0.60 [.0236] right angle contacts.

■

PosiBand contacts available for size 12, 16, 18, and 22.

■

If there are more than 36 signal pins in a single Scorpion connector, customer will need to take note of the tolerances andpotential alignment issues.
