mating cycle query

Jetson Nano

Hey @Alex-Kushleyev @Vinny @Eric-Katzfey ,

I had query regarding the mating cycles of the components.

Does Voxl2 and M0173 board have mating cycle limit?
Also how much is the mating cycle of the camera cables for hire, tracking and TOF?
Is there any mating cycles for flight core v2 connectors?

I would really appreciate a clarity on this
With regards

Vinny

Hi @Jetson-Nano
The connectors between VOXL 2 and M0173 are DF40's. They are rated for 30 cycles:

The uCoax image sensor cables are also from Hirose, and are much more fragile. They are rated for 20 cycles, but to be honest, I break them after 3-5 cycles personally if I am not using a tool. With the use of the proper tool we specify here, you should get to 10-20 cycles.

FCv2 uses a bunch of JST GH connectors. On the flip side, I've never broken one of those!
JST sadly does not specify the cycle count. So, any number we provide would be a guess. We use it due to DroneCode compliance intentions. They are pretty robust and never experienced any issues.

Hope this helps.

Hello ModalAI Team,

I am writing to request information regarding the Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) for several hardware components that we have procured from your team for our ongoing development program.

The components include:
VOXL2
ESC
Flight Controller (V2)
Front-End Board (Camera Interface)
Camera Modules

We would appreciate it if you could share any available MTTF data, reliability reports, or qualification/test standards associated with these products.

If detailed MTTF values are not readily available, any indicative data such as MTBF estimates, environmental test results, or reliability benchmarks would also be helpful.

Please let us know if any additional information is required from our side to process this request.

Thank you for your continued support.
