Advantages over similaralternatives include easier orientation alignment, improved sealing when mated or un-mated, variable un-mating force andsimplified assembly. Built-in screen-trap terminations also allow faster assembly of screened cables.The connectors achieve their enhanced sealing performance by implementing multiple o-rings, such as the combination of adynamic o-ring and additional inter-contact o-rings in the panel-mounted connectors. All connector variants feature colourcodedkey location to promote fast, accurate use in the field. Current capability is to 5A at 40°C.Fixed, free and coupler-connector variants are available, thereby supporting numerous cable-to-chassis, cable-to-cable andcable-joining applications. A castellated locknut supplied with the fixed connector simplifies secure chassis attachment. Scoopproofcontacts in the blind-matable free connectors for cable-to-cable application prevent bending or shorting of pins duringmating.All variants feature gold-plated copper alloy contacts anda rugged built lightweight metal shell that can bespecified in nickel, aluminium, bronze or brass. Shells arechemically blackened giving a durable, low-visibility nonreflectivefinish. After assembly, the connector and cablecan be finished either by over-moulding or by fitting aheatshrink boot.© AB Connectors Limited, Abercynon, Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taff CF45 4SF, UK.Telephone: +44 (0) 1443 740331 • Facsimile: +44 (0) 1443 741676 • Email: sales@ttabconnectors.com • Website: www.ttabconnectors.com Issue 01 03.11
