MACHFORCE is a rugged D38999 style 10G Ethernet connector solution designed for efficient and reliable high-speed electronics in the aerospace and defense markets.  This innovative connector was engineered with the end user in mind for easier termination, longer cable runs with multiple breaks, and easy field repairability.  MACHFORCE also stands out for its advanced design and high-density configuration resulting in a more compact interconnect solution.

Space savings:  You can consolidate several ethernet connectors into one MACHFORCE connector, thereby shrinking your interconnect footprint.

Ease of termination:  MACHFORCE can be terminated quickly with standard tools allowing your team to focus on other value-added activities.  MACHFORCE connectors prioritize speed to ensure you get the job done quickly without compromising on quality. 

Signal Integrity:  The HSM isolates each twisted pair and enables each data pair to retain its twist right up to the 22D contact ensuring data density, signal integrity, reduced crosstalk, and optimal impedance control.

Maximum Length:  Maintains CAT6a (10Gb) signals at lengths up to 80m (270 ft.) with 5 disconnects.

Field Repairability:  With MACHFORCE connectors, diagnosing and repairing issues in the field is quick and straightforward.  All these repairs can be completed in a matter of minutes with standard tools and size 22D contacts.

MACHFORCE features high-density configurations, robust build quality, and reliability to meet the demands of modern electronic applications:

Superior Port Density: Optimize every inch in your designs with MACHFORCE's unparalleled port density, allowing you to achieve more within a compact footprint. Gain design flexibility and ability to reduce the number of connectors in your system, saving both space and weight.  MACHFOREC connectors also deliver 10 ports in a size 25 connector & 4 ports in a size 17 connector.

Electrical Performance:  Unlock exceptional electrical performance with MACHFORCE. MACHFORCE's innovative High-Speed Module sets a new standard, ensuring impeccable signal integrity, reduced crosstalk, and optimal impedance control passing CAT6a (10Gb) signals at lengths up to 80m with 5 disconnects.

Simplify your installations: No need for special tools. MACHFORCE connectors can be terminated and repaired using standard tools, saving you time and eliminating the hassle of procuring and transporting specialty equipment.

Field Repairability: With MACHFORCE, you have the flexibility to perform on-the-spot repairs without the need for special tools or complicated procedures. Imagine being able to diagnose and fix an intermittent signal issue right there in the field. Our connectors allow you to easily remove the High-Speed Module, inspect twisted pairs, and, if needed, re-crimp a damaged pin using standard industry-standard 22D pins and sockets.

Yes, MACHFORCE has a full portfolio offering of size 25 and 17 connection types, including Flange, Plug, JamNut, and PCB.  MACHFORCE also offers a full family of backshell, allowing for multiple configurations and sealing options.

Yes, these connectors are available in PCB mounting configurations and are currently being used in applications. 

MACHFORCE is certified with an IP67 rating.

Yes, it is field repairable using standard tools and enables simplified troubleshooting.  The user is even capable of replacing a single pin or socket without disturbing the rest of the pins.  If further repair is required, an entire port can be repaired in a matter of minutes.  

You can use MACHFORCE sealing plugs for all sizes.  For additional information on these sealing plus, please contact us at sales@theangeluscorp.com.  Standard dust caps can be used for size 17, however size 25 requires a MACHFORCE specific dust cap due to design features that enable the superior port density (10 ports) available in the size 25 connector. 

PIC offers in-depth Termination Instructions for MACHFORCE and would be happy to provide additional training upon request at sales@theangeluscorp.com.

The high speed module (HSM) is an integral component that helps ensure signal integrity through various design components (linear configuration, fins, grooves, twist of pairs maintained to contact, clamping door, grommet, and insulator).  For more information on this topic, read our technical article on MACHFORCE: Optimizing Signal Integrity.

MACHFORCE has been tested and validated to achieve CAT6A performance requirements.

E6A6824 & E6A6826

PIC has certified the performance of these connectors with PICMates Ethernet cables E6A6824 & E6A6826.  Many customers’ have successfully used these connectors with other cables, but certification is done at the customer level.

Under the clamping mechanism of the high-speed module, the cable’s shielding is pulled back and grounded to the high-speed module itself.   When the high-speed module is inserted into the MACHFORCE connector body, that grounding is passed to the connector body.   As MACHFORCE connectors are matted with other MACHFORCE connectors, that grounding is maintained.
