ABCIRP Signal/High

Speed Data Connector

Modular Bayonet Lock Connector, Plastic Insulator,

Multi-pole signal contacts.

The Signal/High Speed Data Connector is based on the ABCIRP bayonet lock connector. They feature a low fire

hazard thermoplastic insulator, which is removable for repositioning at an alternative orientation. There are 4 styles

of multi-pole contact available Co-ax, Twin-ax, Tri-ax & Quadrax. The unique contact design allows for simple and

robust termination to multi-core. The contacts can be mixed within the same insulator to provide many different

combinations of wire termination. Connector sealing features a stepped wire sealing grommet, which provides a

water tight seal to the cables. Crimp tooling is industry standard and the contacts are sandwiched between two

plastic insulators removing the need for insertion and extraction tooling.
