RTEX 4 Pin Circular Threaded Coupling Connectors
The RTEX 4Pin Circular Threaded Coupling Connectors are engineered for robust and reliable performance in a variety of demanding environments. These connectors are designed to provide secure and stable connections, making them ideal for applications requiring high-density pin configurations and durability under challenging conditions.
Engineered for Industrial ReliabilityThe RTEX RS16 Series connectors are designed with rugged aluminum alloy or brass shells and reliable thermoplastic insulation, ensuring high durability even in harsh conditions. IP67-rated sealing protects components from dust and water ingress, while vibration resistance supports use in dynamic environments such as heavy machinery and railway systems.
Flexible Configurations and Secure ConnectionsRS16 Series connectors are available in a wide range of pole counts, from 2 to 32, accommodating diverse wiring needs. The connectors offer both threaded and bayonet locking mechanisms for secure mating, and support multiple wire gauges (24-14 AWG). Gold or silver contact plating delivers excellent conductivity and minimizes resistance below 5 m.
Ease of Installation and Lasting PerformanceWith options for cable, panel, or bulkhead mounting, the RS16 Series is easy to integrate into complex systems. The connectors support solder, crimp, or screw termination types, providing installation flexibility. Capable of over 500 mating cycles and operable from -40C to +120C, they deliver robust long-term performance.
FAQs of RTEX RS16 Series - Round Shell Connectors:
Q: How should RTEX RS16 Series connectors be installed for optimal performance?
A: For optimal performance, select the appropriate mounting typecable, panel, or bulkheadbased on your application. Follow wiring compatibility (24-14 AWG) and apply either solder, crimp, or screw termination methods as needed. Ensure proper tightening of threaded or bayonet locking mechanisms for a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
Q: What types of environments are RS16 Series connectors suitable for?
A: These connectors are designed for harsh environments, supporting industrial, automation, railway, heavy machinery, and avionics applications. Their IP67 rating, vibration resistance, and operating temperature range from -40C to +120C ensure reliable operation in demanding settings with up to 95% non-condensing humidity.
Q: When should I choose threaded versus bayonet locking mechanisms?
A: Choose the threaded locking mechanism for maximum torque and a more secure fit in high-vibration or rugged environments. Opt for bayonet locking in applications where quick coupling or frequent connector engagement/disengagement is required, as it facilitates faster and tool-free mating.
Q: Where are the RS16 Series connectors commonly deployed?
A: RS16 Series connectors are widely used across India in sectors such as industrial automation, railway controls, heavy equipment manufacturing, instrumentation panels, and avionics. Their robust construction and versatile features adapt easily to a variety of installation points, including control panels and machinery interfaces.
Q: What benefits do RTEX RS16 connectors provide to system integrators and end-users?
A: These connectors offer high current capacity (up to 10A per contact), excellent contact reliability (>99% efficiency), and compliance with IEC 61076 and RoHS. This means safer, low-resistance connections, reduced maintenance due to durable construction, and full adherence to international safety and environmental standards.
Q: How does the connector ensure protection against environmental hazards?
A: The RS16 Series features environmental sealing (IP67), robust housings with anodized or nickel finishes, and high-grade insulation. These safeguards protect against dust, water ingress, and temperature extremes, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging field conditions.
