Amphenol 162GB Crimp Connectors
Development and manufacture of 162GB miniature bayonet lock connectors has been closely coordinated with the solder version. The entire programme has been carried out at Amphenol’s Whitstable Plant. The precision machinery and measurement control processes used for the production of 162GB crimp connectors are the same as those used to produce 62GB solder connectors.
Full intermountability and intermateability are absolutely guaranteed.
162GB Series crimp connectors share many of the features of 62GB solder connectors. Coupling is achieved with a triple-track bayonet locking system which gives positive alignment on all shell sizes. When connector halves are fully mated there is a definite click. Inspection holes in the coupling ring will then reveal the bayonet pins on the receptacle which are clearly marked in yellow.
The Amphenol design means simplified removal of coupling rings for servicing or replacement as they are front demountable. In addition there is a rough grip heavy duty style for arduous conditions and a lever coupling ring which allows extremely close mounting of connectors.
The method of sealing is the same as for 62GB connectors; using peripheral seals on the rubber inserts and sealing the mating shells with a square section gasket. Wire sealing is by multiple risers in the rear grommet.
