The connector design incorporates an integral latching system that ensures a denitive electrical and
mechanical connection. Connector housings are manufactured with a thermoplastic material that is not
only durable, but has excellent UV resistance, dielectric/mechanical properties and environmentally RoHS
compliant. The sealing system is comprised of a front and rear silicone, multi-sealing, perimeter against
environmental ingress. Contacts are derived from quality copper alloy to ensure an electrically-reliable
connection. For applications demanding higher levels of performance, you can rely on our RockSolid™
contact technology.
Performance Criteria
CURRENT CAPACITY No. 16, 13 amps (max)
WIRE RANGE No 16 contacts will accept wire ranges of 14 thru 20 awg
TEMPERATURE Operating temperature range: -55°C to +125°C at rated current
DIELECTRIC VALUE Meets or exceeds 1500 volts minimum
FLAME RESISTANCE All dielectric materials have a ammability rating of UL94 HB or better
DROP TEST Shall not become detached or loosened when placed at 750mm and dropped to concrete eight times
SHOCK No latch disengagement or discontinuity shall be the result when subjected to 50 g’s in each of three
axis (X, Y & Z)
VIBRATION Continued continuity without degradation to mechanical or physical attributes following vibration.
(max acceleration 20 g’s at Sine sweep of 10-2000Hz)
CONNECTOR TERMINAL
RETENTION
When subjected to a direct pull, size 14-20 achieves minimum pull-out force of 110 newtons
CONNECTOR RETENTION A mated connector subjected to a pulling force by the exiting wire bundle at 111 newtons times the
number of contacts to a maximum of 444 newtons applying load for 30 seconds
THERMAL SHOCK Subjected to 10 cycles at -55°C to +125°C with no cracking, chipping or other damage detrimental to
the normal operation of the connector
INSULATION RESISTANCE Insulation resistance at 25°C shall be greater than 20 megohms when 1000 VDC are applied
MATING CYCLE DURABILITY Following 100 cycles of connection engagement and disengagement, degradation either mechanical
or electrical is not evident
CONTACT MILLIVOLT DROP No. 16 contacts with 16 awg conductor - *100 millivolt drop max at 13 amps test current
ULTRAVIOLET EFFECTS Test the mated connectors for 1000 hours per ASTM G 154 or ASTM G 153 with 20 hours UV and 4 hours
of condensation for each cycle
W A T E R I M M E R S I O N A mated connection, properly wired, placed in an oven at +125°C for 1 hour, then placed immediately
in a depth of water of 1 meter for 4 hours without loss of electronic performance
