TT AB Connectors Introduces versatile modular multi-pole bayonet connectors
TT electronics AB Connectors is bringing the advantages of military and aerospace connector design into industrial, automotive and general traction applications. The new modular Bayonet-Lock Connectors accept a variety of multi-pole contacts including quadrax contact modules to enable reliable signal and high-speed data interconnects up to 100Mbit/s.
The The contacts feature industry-standard crimp terminations, enabling rapid connection to multi-core cables. Also, the insulator design eliminates the need for insertion or extraction tooling. The sealing system employs a stepped wire sealing grommet, which provides a water-tight seal to the cables meeting IP67 specifications. The connectors have passed 96 hours exposure to salt spray in a sealed container.
The modular contacts are housed in a removable thermoplastic insulator, which can be positioned in a number of orientations and features a polarising keyway to maintain correct orientation with the outer shell. The insulator is engineered to present a low fire hazard. Gold-plated copper contacts display low contact resistance, better than 5m? nominal and 10m? after conditioning. Maximum operating voltage is 500Vpeak (DC or AC), and the connectors are rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C
