16. Thorkom I vs. Thorkom II 16

17. 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.
