FCT's D-sub connector solutions meet DIN specifications and offer many different combinations of materials and plating options. For example, shells can be ordered in a non-magnetic version made of brass, which can be electroless nickel or gold plated for use in aerospace technology.

FCT's contacts range from coaxial contacts over high-current and high-voltage contacts to crimp contacts and pneumatic contacts. FCT offers contacts for every requirement. The contact product lines for coax with 50 or 75 Ω, high power up to 40 A, high voltage up to 3 kv, and pneumatic contacts were designed for use with the FCT mixed layout connector series. FCT's contacts are available in a variety of termination types such as solder or crimp. Signal contacts are machined brass to ensure up to 500 mating cycles and up to 7.5 A.

FCT's distinctive hood product range is comprised of metal, plastic, non-magnetic, waterproof, and metallized hoods that are a suitable solution for almost any requirement.
