Key features and benefits

Description

RC / RM #16 (1.6mm) screw machined contacts are snap-in pin and sockets for harsh environment industrial connectors.

These contacts are suitable for UTS, UT0, UTG, UTL, UTP, SMS, MBG connector series composed of #16 cavities. This contact concept give you an high flexibility to switch from a connector series to another without the need to change the crimping tools, that means no additional investment and no need a new qualification.

Made from a high conductive copper alloy, RC / RM #16 (1.6mm) screw machined contacts are available with a wide range of plating to answer to all of you need in term of electrical performances: we propose gold, gold flash, tin over nickel plating options.

Heat-treated beryllium copper locking springs assure proper locking and alignment of contacts in the housing. RC socket contacts have a closed entry design to prevent probe damages. The features guarantee a high level of performances over the time.

The RC / RM #16 (1.6mm) screw machined contacts are suitable for copper cores from AWG30 (0.05mm²) to AWG14 (2.5mm²) and also we propose coax options with RMDX and RCDX suitable for 50 or 75Ω, coaxial or twisted pair cable.

We also propose different types of packaging compliant to all volumes of production: contacts can be delivered in a bulk package (50 pcs or 1000 pcs) or on reel (2000 pcs reeled) for automatic crimping.
