Novo receptacles offer a dual contact interface with all normal force created by metal-to-metal contact. This provides a higher degree of contact reliability.

Novo receptacles feature two rows of contacts on .100 x .100 [2.54 x 2.54] centerlines in select sizes from 10 to 64 positions. Contacts mate with .0252 [0.642] or round posts with .245 [6.22] max. and .175 [4.45] min. lengths. The Novo tuning fork contact offers a military-approved design, and at a lower cost.

Contacts are made of phosphor bronze and are available in a choice of duplex .000015 [0.00038] or .000030 [0.00076] gold in the mating area, and .000100 [0.00254] tin in the termination area, with the entire contact underplated with .000050 [0.00127] nickel.
