LPTC-SF-20P-20-5

Overview

The LPTC-SF-20P-20-5 is a circular MIL-spec connector manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations. It belongs to the standard circular connector series and features a reverse bayonet coupling mechanism. The component is designed as a plug with a straight cable mounting style. It utilizes crimp termination for electrical connections and incorporates silver-plated copper alloy contacts. The shell size is designated as 20, corresponding to the 20-5 insertion arrangement.

Feature Summary

• Reverse bayonet locking system ensures secure mating
• Crimp termination method for reliable contact integrity
• Silver-plated copper alloy contacts provide conductivity
• Straight cable mount configuration for flexible routing

Applications

• Aviation communication systems
• Military electronic equipment interconnects
• Industrial control panel wiring
• Radar and navigation system connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and environmental sealing requirements against the project specifications before ordering. Confirm that the crimp tooling matches the contact size defined in the official datasheet. Ensure compatibility with the mating receptacle's keying options to prevent misalignment during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust MIL-DTL-5015 compatible interface is required for cable-to-cable or cable-to-panel applications. The reverse bayonet style offers faster engagement compared to threaded connectors while maintaining vibration resistance. Verify that the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the intended deployment site.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader Amphenol industrial circular connector portfolio, which adheres to military standards for durability. The LPTC series typically serves as a cost-effective alternative to higher-tier MIL-grade connectors while maintaining essential mechanical strength. It fits within the ecosystem of interchangeable circular connectors used in defense and aerospace sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 20-5 insertion arrangement and reverse bayonet coupling. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering MIL-DTL-5015 Type equivalents. Ensure pin count and contact orientation remain identical to avoid rewiring efforts.
