The connector design incorporates an integral latching system that ensures a definitive 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 flammability rating of UL94 HB or better

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

WATER IMMERSION

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
