C146S16002G8

The C146S16002G8 by Amphenol Tuchel Industrial sets new standards in Heavy Duty Connectors - Frames technology, developed for aerospace-grade avionics systems. This lightweight frame solution combines advanced composite materials with EMI shielding technologies to ensure flawless performance in extreme altitude conditions while meeting strict DO-160G compliance.Featuring 5 modular configurations, the frame supports redundant system architectures. The design incorporates quick-change features for line-replaceable unit (LRU) applications in aircraft maintenance.The Female interface employs hermetic sealing for operation in unpressurized zones. Gold-plated contacts with redundant wiping surfaces ensure connectivity during vibration exceeding 20G RMS.With E16 dimensions optimized for avionics racks, the frame achieves 30% weight reduction versus aluminum counterparts. The design includes integrated strain relief for cable harnesses subjected to G-forces.The Fixing Frame construction utilizes carbon fiber reinforcement for strength-to-weight optimization. The monocoque design passes lightning strike testing per DO-160 Section 22 requirements.Fabricated from Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6, Glass Filled, the frame demonstrates exceptional resistance to aviation fuels and hydraulic fluids. The material formulation is validated through 500-hour chemical exposure testing.The Black finish incorporates radar-absorbent properties for stealth applications. The coating system meets MIL-STD-3009 requirements for cockpit lighting compatibility.
