108-0001-16

Overview

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors model 108-0001-16 is a circular MIL-spec connector receptacle assembly belonging to the DTS24 series. It features a size 16 shell with a jam nut mounting style and straight orientation. The component utilizes a 21-16 insertion arrangement for 16 positions. Contacts are crimp-type sockets made of copper alloy with gold plating, designed for panel installation. The housing is constructed from aluminum with nickel plating. This assembly complies with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standards and supports threaded mating styles.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable electrical interconnection in harsh environments through compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.
• Ensures secure mechanical attachment via a jam nut mounting style suitable for panel installations.
• Delivers corrosion resistance and durability using an aluminum housing with nickel plating and gold-plated copper alloy contacts.

Applications

• Aerospace systems requiring ruggedized circular connectors
• Defense equipment needing MIL-spec interconnect solutions
• Marine applications demanding environmental sealing and vibration resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes on the ordering number to confirm exact contact types, plating thickness, and environmental seals. Confirm current lifecycle status directly with the manufacturer as availability may vary. Ensure compatibility with corresponding plug assemblies regarding shell size and insertion arrangement before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 16-position receptacle with a jam nut mount is required for MIL-DTL-38999 III applications. Verify that the system architecture supports straight mounting and threaded mating interfaces. Ensure the crimp termination method aligns with available wiring harness tools and wire gauge requirements for the specific circuit design.

Part Context

This component is part of the DEUTSCH DTS24 product line, which expands TE Connectivity's portfolio in military specification fields. The series offers robust connectivity solutions engineered for extreme reliability in aerospace, defense, and transportation sectors, maintaining high performance under severe operational conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other MIL-DTL-38999 Series III receptacles with matching shell size 16 and 21-16 insertion arrangements. Cross-reference equivalent parts from manufacturers such as Glenair or Amphenol ensuring identical pinout configurations and mounting styles for direct interchangeability.
