71-432652-16P

Overview

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations model 71-432652-16P is a circular connector receptacle designed for high-reliability applications. It features a shell size of 16 and contains 16 pin contacts arranged in a single row configuration. The connector utilizes a cable mount termination method with crimp contact interfaces to ensure secure electrical connections. Constructed with a zinc nickel plated steel shell, it provides robust mechanical protection and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Single row contact arrangement for compact panel mounting
• Crimp termination interface ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Zinc nickel plated steel shell for enhanced durability

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring secure interconnects
• Industrial control panels with vibration exposure
• Test and measurement equipment housing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact insertion force requirements against system specifications before procurement. Confirm that the mating connector counterpart matches the single row pin configuration exactly. Ensure the cable diameter falls within the acceptable range for the provided strain relief mechanism to maintain environmental sealing integrity during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-position circular connector is required for panel-mounted installations. Evaluate the operating temperature range against the specified material limits of the internal insulator. Consider the mating cycle rating if frequent connection disconnection is anticipated in the operational lifecycle.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIL-DTL-38999 Series I compatible family of connectors. It serves as a standard solution for replacing legacy military-grade interconnects in modern aerospace and defense platforms. The design prioritizes space efficiency while maintaining high current carrying capacity across all sixteen positions simultaneously.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with equivalent MIL-DTL-38999 Series I receptacles from other manufacturers. Verify dimensional compatibility with existing panel cutouts and mating flange standards. Ensure contact plating options match the original specification for conductivity and corrosion resistance.
