71-433035-06S

Overview

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations connector, identified by manufacturer part number 71-433035-06S and DigiKey reference 1178-JT06RE-16-6S(318), is a circular MIL-DTL-38999 Series I plug. It features a size 16 shell with six female socket contacts arranged in a normal orientation. The assembly utilizes a reverse bayonet coupling mechanism for secure attachment. Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, terminated via crimping to stranded wire. The unit operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 200°C and provides environmental sealing capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Reverse bayonet coupling system ensures rapid connection and secure locking.
• Gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission in harsh environments.
• Crimp termination method supports flexible wiring integration.

Applications

• Avionics systems
• Military ground combat vehicles
• Aircraft airframe power distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness, shell finish, and strain relief configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding keying options and mounting style. Confirm that the selected variant meets all required environmental certifications and material specifications for the intended operational environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the requirement for a size 16, six-position circular interface with reverse bayonet locking. Evaluate the need for gold-plated contacts and crimp termination against available alternatives. Consider the operating temperature range and environmental sealing requirements when determining suitability for aerospace or military applications.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the MIL-DTL-38999 Series I family, designed for high-density interconnects in demanding conditions. The JT06RE designation indicates a specific shell style and coupling type within the broader Amphenol Aerospace portfolio. These components are engineered for reliability in commercial and defense sectors where space and weight constraints are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with equivalent MIL-DTL-38999 Series I connectors from other manufacturers. Verify dimensional compatibility and pinout configurations before substitution. Ensure that any replacement part maintains the same reverse bayonet coupling and environmental rating standards.
