71-432482-41S

Overview

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations part number 71-432482-41S is a circular MIL-spec connector component, specifically identified as the socket contact for the PT06CP-20-41S receptacle assembly. This component belongs to the PT series and utilizes size 20 contacts. It is designed for crimp termination to ensure reliable electrical connections in demanding environments. The contact is manufactured from copper alloy and features gold plating to provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. As a critical interconnect element, it supports signal transmission within the broader connector system.

Feature Summary

• Gold-plated copper alloy construction for enhanced conductivity
• Crimp termination style for secure cable attachment
• Designed for high-reliability signal transmission

Applications

• Avionics systems
• Aircraft power distribution
• Harsh environment instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact size and plating requirements against the system datasheet. Confirm compatibility with the mating receptacle housing. Ensure the crimping tool specifications match the contact terminal dimensions. Request manufacturer documentation for material certifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required current rating and environmental sealing needs of the application. Consider the mechanical retention strength provided by the crimp method. Evaluate the gold plating thickness for expected cycle life. Match the contact size precisely to the housing shell selection.

Part Context

This contact is an integral sub-component of the Amphenol PT series circular connectors. It complements the main receptacle housing and plug assemblies. The part functions within military-grade interconnect ecosystems requiring robust performance. It is distinct from complete connector assemblies, serving as a replaceable or build-up element.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with official Amphenol substitution lists. Verify that any alternative contact maintains identical size and plating specifications. Ensure mating interface compatibility with existing housings.
