PTC-5/8-26

Optimized for military communications systems, Panduit Corp's PTC-5/8-26 delivers mission-critical reliability in Terminals - Specialized Connectors. Its EMP-hardened design exceeds MIL-STD-188-125 requirements for high-altitude electromagnetic pulse protection.The Ground Tap configuration features rhodium-plated contacts that maintain <2m contact resistance after 1,000 salt fog exposure hours. Its patented wipe design ensures reliable connections in sandy environments per MIL-STD-810G Method 510.5.With Crimp technology, the system creates hermetic seals that prevent moisture ingress in submarine applications. Each termination undergoes helium leak testing to verify <1 10^-9 atm cc/s leakage rates.Designed for 4/0-6 AWG military-spec wiring, the contacts maintain signal integrity through 500+ flex cycles while meeting MIL-DTL-38999 Series III insertion loss requirements.The Brown housing material is radar-absorbent, reducing RCS signature by 15dBsm at X-band frequencies. Color coding follows MIL-STD-1472G human factors engineering standards for low-light visibility.
