Assemblies are available with connectors in 7-, 12-, and 24-position plugs/receptacles and with MIL-SPEC, gold-plated, screw-machine (crimp, or PC-mount) contacts. Bulkhead and square-flange mounting styles and a range of back-shell and strain-relief options are also available. Additional features include Posi-Lok or V-Lok couplings, a contact current rating of 5A, maximum dielectric withstanding voltage of 1.5 kVRMS at sea level, an operating temperature from -55°C to +125°C, and an insulation resistance of 5 GΩ.
