71-418620-41T

Overview

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations 71-418620-41T is a circular MIL-spec connector plug designed for industrial and aerospace applications. It features 41 positions with socket contacts, utilizing a size 20 shell in a straight configuration. The component complies with MIL-DTL-26482 standards and employs crimp termination for secure cable attachment. Contact materials consist of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit supports a current rating of 7.5 amperes and operates at voltage ratings up to 600 volts. It utilizes a bayonet coupling mechanism for rapid connection and disconnection.

Feature Summary

• Bayonet coupling system ensures secure and rapid mating cycles
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance
• Crimp termination method allows for robust cable assembly
• Straight plug design facilitates direct panel or cable mounting

Applications

• Commercial aerospace avionics systems
• Defense equipment interconnects
• Industrial control instrumentation
• Aircraft airframe power distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and environmental sealing requirements before procurement. Confirm that the crimp tooling matches the contact size specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing MIL-DTL-26482 series components in the assembly. Check for any updated material compliance certifications required by your jurisdiction.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density 41-position interface is required in a compact straight form factor. The gold-plated contacts are suitable for low-noise signal applications. The bayonet lock is preferred over threaded options where speed of operation is critical. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the specific environmental conditions of the installation site.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol 26482 series, a widely used military specification connector family. The 71-series numbering indicates an Amphenol proprietary designation corresponding to standard MIL-DTL-26482 dimensions. It serves as a replacement for legacy connectors in defense and aerospace platforms requiring standardized interchangeability.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with MS3126E20-41S or JT06RE-20-41SB for dimensional compatibility. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 41-position arrangement and socket contact orientation. Ensure the replacement meets the same MIL-DTL-26482 electrical and mechanical performance criteria.
