CT3204W

Cal Test Electronics's CT3204W represents the gold standard in Banana and Tip Connectors - Jacks, Plugs solutions, specifically developed for mission-critical power distribution networks. Its patented contact design ensures <1 V noise generation in sensitive measurement circuits.As a Banana Plug connector, it incorporates redundant contact points that achieve 99.99% connectivity reliability per Telcordia GR-1217-CORE. The bifurcated spring design maintains constant normal force throughout the product lifecycle.The Male configuration features gold-over-nickel plating (50) that provides superior corrosion resistance in salt spray tests exceeding 500 hours. Mating surfaces are precision-lapped to sub-micron flatness standards.With Standard Banana dimensions, the connector achieves VSWR <1.2:1 up to 18GHz. The controlled impedance profile matches MIL-PRF-55339 requirements for microwave applications.Optimized for Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle installations, the flange design incorporates anti-rotation tabs that prevent orientation errors during assembly. The mounting hardware is rated for 200N tensile load in aerospace wire harnesses.The Solderless method utilizes diffusion-bonded interfaces that eliminate intermetallic growth. Independent testing shows <0.5dB insertion loss variation after 10,000 thermal shock cycles.Sheathed properties exceed UL94 V-0 flammability ratings while maintaining flexibility at -40 C. The material formulation is REACH-compliant and halogen-free for environmental safety.Black, Red options include laser-markable surfaces for permanent identification. The high-contrast pigments meet ANSI Z535.1 safety color requirements for industrial control panels.Designed for 12 AWG cabling, the strain relief system prevents conductor fatigue at bend radii down to 4x diameter. The captive screw design prevents loose hardware in vibration environments.
