## Electronic Specifications: PT01F10-6P-R The **PT01F10-6P-R** is a high-reliability industrial and military-grade cylindrical connector belonging to the **MIL-DTL-26482 Series I** family. It is produced by manufacturers like Amphenol and is primarily used in aerospace, communication, and industrial automation. --- ### 1. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the suffix codes is essential for identifying the specific electrical and mechanical configuration: | Component | Code | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | PT | Miniature Cylindrical Connector | | **Shell Style** | 01 | In-line Receptacle (Used for cable-to-cable connections) | | **Service Class** | F | Grommet seal with strain relief clamp | | **Shell Size** | 10 | The diameter size of the housing | | **Insert Config** | 6P | 6 Pin (Male) contacts | | **Contact Style** | R | RoHS compliant version (Environmentally friendly) | --- ### 2. Technical Specifications These are the core electrical and mechanical limits for the PT01F10-6P-R: * **Number of Contacts:** 6 * **Contact Size:** #20 (Standard) * **Current Rating:** 7.5 Amps per contact * **Operating Voltage:** 600 VAC (RMS) at sea level (Service Rating I) * **Insulation Resistance:** 5,000 Megohms minimum * **Operating Temperature:** -55°C to +125°C * **Mating Cycles:** 500 minimum --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features #### A. Contact Material & Plating The pins are typically made of a **copper alloy** with **gold over nickel plating**. This ensures low contact resistance and prevents oxidation over long-term use in harsh environments. #### B. In-line Receptacle Design Unlike wall-mounted connectors, the `01` style is an **in-line receptacle**. This means it is designed to be attached to the end of a cable to act as a "moving" extension socket, rather than being fixed to a panel. #### C. Environmental Protection (Class F) The "F" class includes a **cable clamp** and a **neoprene grommet**. Electrically, this is vital because it provides: * **Strain Relief:** Prevents the wires from being pulled out of the solder joints. * **Moisture Sealing:** Protects the internal pins from short circuits caused by humidity or liquid ingress. --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Industrial Sensors:** Reliable transmission of data and power signals. * **Military Communications:** Used in tactical radios and field equipment. * **Medical Electronics:** Diagnostic equipment requiring high-cycle durability. * **Robotics:** Power and control signal routing in articulated arms.
