BTH1-13-09-1-B-AD

Overview

The BTH1-13-09-1-B-AD is a rectangular military connector manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. It belongs to the BTH series and features a size 13 shell with 9 contacts. The component utilizes a bayonet coupling mechanism for secure engagement. It is designed for high-reliability applications in harsh environments, meeting specific military standards for ruggedness and performance under extreme conditions.

Feature Summary

• Bayonet coupling interface ensures rapid connection and secure locking
• Robust construction suitable for demanding aerospace and defense environments
• High contact density within a compact size 13 shell

Applications

• Military aircraft avionics systems
• Electronic warfare equipment interconnects
• Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against the original design specification, as suffixes often denote critical environmental or material variations. Confirm that the procurement source provides traceability documentation required for defense contracts. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors of the same series and shell size before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a robust, bayonet-coupled rectangular connector is required for size-constrained military applications. Evaluate the need for hermetic sealing if operating in extreme moisture or pressure conditions. Compare contact current ratings against the specific load requirements of the circuit to ensure adequate margin for reliability.

Part Context

This component is part of TE Connectivity's extensive portfolio of rugged interconnect solutions tailored for the defense sector. The BTH series is engineered to withstand vibration, shock, and temperature extremes typical of military operations. It supports mission-critical connectivity needs across various platforms including ground vehicles and marine systems.

Replacement Considerations

The obsolete predecessor 91H1-13-09-1-B may be considered for replacement. Verify mechanical fit and electrical continuity with the recommended substitute BTH1-13-09-1-B before implementation.
