TT AB Connectors Introduces versatile modular multi-pole bayonet connectors

The MIL-DTL-5015 and VG95234 style connectors are available in a range of sizes to accept one, two, four or seven modules containing multi-pole contact. Any combination of co-ax, twin-ax, tri-ax or quadrax modules can be specified, delivering a highly versatile connector system capable of consolidating up to seven high-speed Ethernet connections or many combinations of signal and data links. Retention force of at least 200N ensures secure connections when exposed to large mechanical stresses.

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
