71-418620-16P

Overview

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations 71-418620-16P is a circular MIL-spec connector plug designed for demanding environments. It features an aluminum alloy shell with a straight cable mount style and threaded coupling mechanism. The component utilizes a 20-16 insertion arrangement to provide 16 positions for male pin contacts. These contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating and employ a crimp termination method. The connector supports a current rating of 13 A and operates at voltage ratings up to 900 VAC or 1.25 kVDC.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with an aluminum alloy shell for durability in harsh conditions
• Utilizes a threaded coupling mechanism for secure connection retention
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Designed for cable mounting with a straight orientation

Applications
