Rugged system features positive bayonet coupling mechanism for reliable connections

Featuring a positive bayonet coupling mechanism which ensures reliable mechanical and electrical connection between mating halves, Souriau's 851 connectors are now available from Mouser stock. A helical locking ring on the plug couples with three dowel pegs on the receptacle ensuring rapid locking. Orientation and location is ensured by a system of five raised keys on the plugs which couple with corresponding slots on the receptacles. The high-performance rugged connectors are available with different angular positioning of the insulator relative to the shell to prevent mating of adjacent connectors with the same contact arrangements. The contacts are permanently fused into a glass insulator providing a high level of sealing. Applications include civil and defence systems, professional and general electronics, robotics, geophysics, off-road vehicles, instrumentation, factory automation, machine tools and medical equipment.
