MHDAS2M016GE01

The MHDAS2M016GE01 by Amphenol Socapex delivers exceptional performance in Rectangular Connectors - Free Hanging, Panel Mount for marine and offshore applications. This corrosion-resistant interconnect system exceeds DNV-GL, ABS, and Lloyd's Register standards, providing reliable connectivity in the harshest saltwater environments.As a Header solution, it features a triple-sealing design that maintains IP69K protection after 500 mating cycles. The stainless steel housing resists pitting corrosion in seawater splash zones.The Male Pin design utilizes marine-grade materials that withstand 1000-hour salt fog testing. The self-cleaning contact action removes surface contaminants during mating cycles.Available in 16 configurations, the connector supports both power distribution and shipboard communication networks. The segregated contact groups prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.The 0.050" (1.27mm) spacing provides sufficient creepage distance for 1000V AC shipboard systems. The molded ribs between contacts prevent tracking in high-humidity conditions per IEC 60092.The 2 row arrangement positions power contacts for optimal heat dissipation. The thermal management design reduces hot-spot temperatures in enclosed marine panels.0.050" (1.27mm) separation between power and signal contacts prevents electromagnetic interference. This isolation is critical for reliable navigation and communication systems.The Free Hanging (In-Line) version includes integrated cable glands meeting IEC 60092-350. The corrosion-resistant bronze hardware withstands constant saltwater exposure.The Threaded mechanism provides positive locking with visual indicators. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware meets ASTM F593 standards.Featuring Crimp technology, the system accommodates tinned marine cables. The silver-plated termination surfaces resist sulfur-induced corrosion in bilge areas.Compatible with Discrete marine cables, the contacts maintain stable resistance through thermal cycling. The parallel contact springs compensate for vibration-induced relaxation.Supporting 28-30 AWG conductors, the power contacts carry 200% of rated current for 1 minute without derating. The multi-point contact design ensures reliable power transmission.The Guide Pin, Polarizing Key include integrated zinc sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection. These marine-specific features extend connector life in electrolytic environments.The Black housing incorporates UV-stabilized polymers that resist fading in direct sunlight. The high-visibility options improve safety in low-light engine room conditions.
