General description

Amphetronix 62IN series miniature circular bayonet-coupled solder connectors meet the most critical
application needs. Design versatility and high reliability performance make this series ideal for environmental
sealing.

Shell

Shell hardware is manufactured from aluminium alloy and cadmium plated with an olive drab chromate
finish. This finish has excellent conductivity; it is non-reflecting and corrosion resistant. Black anodised
finish and cadmium-free zinc-cobalt plating are also available. For details, contact factory.
Shell styles consist of wall and box mounting receptacles, jam nut receptacles, cable mounting receptacles
and straight plugs. Connectors are available in 9 shell sizes: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24.
Positive shell-to-shell keying is provided with keys and keyways in a choice of either normal (N) or any of
the preferred alternate positions: B, C, E and F. This prevents mismating between shells of different
orientations and overcomes the difficulties associated with rotated inserts and standard key / keyway
orientation. In the latter system, damage to inserts or contacts can result if excessive force is used to
engage non-mating pairs.
Spring tension provided by a wave washer in the coupling ring ensures maintenance of inter facial seal
between mating halves.


Insert and grommet


The insert and grommet are moulded from resilient neoprene, offering high dielectric strength and resistance
to oils, gasoline and low temperature. This provides electrical isolation of the contacts in the insert and
excellent moisture sealing.


Contacts

Gold over nickel plated pin and socket contacts are machined from brass and designed for solder
connections. Industrial version crimp contacts are also available on request.
