5173-2

The 5173-2 by Pomona Electronics sets new standards in Banana and Tip Connectors - Jacks, Plugs components, specifically optimized for marine navigation systems. Its corrosion-resistant design withstands 5000+ hours salt spray testing while maintaining <0.1 compass accuracy.As a Tip Plug device, it incorporates fluxgate sensors that achieve 24-bit resolution at 100Hz update rates. The triple-redundant design meets IMO MSC.1/Circ.1372 fault tolerance requirements.The Male configuration features titanium alloy contacts with 50 m gold plating that resists sulfide attack. The pressurized dielectric fluid prevents moisture ingress per IP69K standards.Machined to Standard Tip naval specifications, the connector maintains <2dB VHF signal loss in storm conditions. The waveguide-style interface prevents saltwater intrusion.Engineered for Free Hanging (In-Line) installation, the housing withstands 100G shock loads per MIL-S-901D. The vibration-isolated mounting prevents resonance in shipboard environments.Utilizing Crimp or Solder technology, the connections achieve <1mV thermocouple effects in varying temperatures. The crimp-and-solder joints exceed RTCA/DO-160G vibration requirements.Sheathed materials demonstrate >500M wet insulation resistance after 30-day seawater immersion. The syntactic foam construction provides positive buoyancy in marine applications.Red coding follows ISO 17338 SOLAS requirements for emergency systems. The photoluminescent markings remain visible for 8+ hours in complete darkness.Designed for 18-22 AWG marine-grade wiring, the termination system prevents strand corrosion. The tinned copper conductors meet ASTM B33 saltwater corrosion standards.
