Key Features
- 36-position Micro-D right-angle receptacle with M2.5 threaded mounting hardware provides a mechanically secure, panel-mount or board-mount interconnect in compact aerospace and military form factors
- Gold-over-nickel contact finish on all 36 female contacts ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance across thousands of mating cycles
- Glass-filled PCT-polyester insulator body offers high dielectric strength and dimensional stability from -55°C to +125°C for demanding reliability environments
Applications
The 3M N10236-5212PC Micro-D 36-pin receptacle is used in avionics, satellite systems, defense electronics, and medical imaging equipment where a compact 36-position right-angle shielded interface with M2.5 thread retention is required. Its right-angle board-mount orientation is particularly suited for panel-accessible connectors on embedded processor or data acquisition boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What thread size and mounting style does the 3M N10236-5212PC use for panel or PCB retention?
The N10236-5212PC uses M2.5 threaded hardware for board or panel mounting, providing a secure mechanical connection that resists vibration and mating forces. M2.5 thread is the standard for Micro-D connectors per MIL-DTL-83513 and is compatible with standard M2.5 jack screws and hex standoffs used in military and aerospace assemblies.
How does the right-angle orientation of the N10236-5212PC benefit PCB layout in enclosure-mounted designs?
The right-angle configuration routes the 36 mating contacts parallel to the PCB surface, allowing the connector's mating face to protrude through a panel cutout while the PCB lies flat behind the panel. This reduces the required enclosure depth by approximately 10 mm to 15 mm compared to a vertical board-mount receptacle, which is critical in compact avionics and instrument packaging.
For how many mating cycles is the gold-over-nickel contact finish on the N10236-5212PC designed to remain reliable?
Gold-over-nickel contact finishes on Micro-D connectors are typically qualified for a minimum of 500 mating cycles per MIL-DTL-83513 specifications, with contact resistance remaining below 30 mΩ throughout. In lightly cycled applications such as ground support equipment connectors, actual field life often extends well beyond 1000 cycles without measurable degradation.
