Bayonet connectors

25 July 2012 Interconnection

The 55116 connector from Bernier is cylindrical, has five or six contacts and is connected with a bayonet system. This connector is designed for the transmission of low-intensity signals, and is often used in the field of military and civil radio transmissions and on data transmission systems. It is also used for measurement apparatus, sensors and testers.

The connectors comply with MIL C 55116 standard. The shells are constructed from stainless steel and aluminium alloy and insulated with Thermoset. With self-cleaning, gold plated contacts, the connectors can withstand temperatures between -40°C and +85°C, can be submerged under 2 m of water for 48 hours, and can mechanically endure 3000 operations.

Voltage rating is 60 V maximum; current rating is 0,5 A; contact resistance is ≤50 mΩ mated; dielectric strength is 500 V a.c. RMS; and insulation resistance is 5000 MΩ under 500 V d.c.
