SECONDARY CONNECTOR FOR AIRFIELD LIGHTING

SECONDARY CONNECTOR KITS
(TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS)

DESIGN

The connector housings are moulded from synthetic elastomeric material serving both as insulation and sheath to fully enclose the pins and sockets of connectors. l`he material is suitable for direct earth burial, submergence in water, and capable of withstanding limited chemical; oil, or gasoline attach. The connector housings are withstands exposure to direct sunlight and to ozone. The connectors are designed for continuous use within a temperature range of - 40°C to + 65°C while exposed to weather, submerged in water, or buried in the earth.
The pins and sockets are designed to conform to the dimensional and construction requirements as indicates on the applicable figure of FAA L-823. Pins and sockets are made of materials that contain at least 98 percent cooper. The pin and socket are electro-plated with nickel to provide good electrical contact. The sockets are slotted and spring loaded to insure good electrical contact.
The main characteristics shall be equal to or better than those given in table below.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS

Rated voltage 600 V
Resistance between conductor of one pair connectors and water, after 24 hours in a tap water bath at room temperature, 20-25 °C, measured with 500 V source. >25 GOhm
Resistance between conductor of one pair connectors and water, after 24 hours in a tap water bath at room temperature, 20-25 °C, and manually flexed for 2 minutes measured with 500 V source. >25 GOhm
Test voltage, 5 minutes 4,7 kV
Resistance between conductor of one pair connectors and water, after 24 hours in a tap water bath at room temperature, 20-25 °C, and 1 hour at 65°C, measured with 500 V source. >10 GOHm
Voltage drop across mated connectors <6 mV

REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSEMBLIES
These kits shall only be assembled by skilled technicians, supervised by a specialist to ensure their electrical, mechanical and watertightness properties reach the expected standards. For connection accessories using nature rubber, the shelf life, storage and use temperatures shall not be exceeded.

ORDERING DATA
Connector kit model numbers are different for specific applications and are size sensitive to both cable diameters and wire sizes. Therefore to select the correct complete catalogue number you need to know:

Application
For use on 2 core cable or 2 single conductors.

Configuratiore
Plug (male) or (female).

Cable Diameter
The outside diameter of the cable or conductors is required for correct kit sizing.
From the chart select the correct code letters and list them in the sequence shown.

Wire Size & Type
The standard wire size is 2, 4 or 6 mm2.
