55842-1

The 55842-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors delivers military-grade performance in Terminals - Rectangular Connectors, developed for harsh environment applications. This connector combines rugged construction with precision electrical characteristics, meeting stringent MIL-SPEC requirements. The corrosion-resistant materials and hermetic sealing make it ideal for defense, marine, and offshore energy applications where reliability is non-negotiable.The Rectangular Tongue design provides maximum contact reliability in salt fog and high-humidity conditions. This military-spec configuration prevents galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal environments.With 1/2 Stud options, this terminal accommodates various power distribution needs in field equipment. The contact surfaces are specially treated for enhanced durability in abrasive environments.Featuring Single Stud Hole architecture, this connector resists mechanical shock and vibration. The design incorporates positive locking mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection.The 0.220" (5.59mm) construction withstands extreme mechanical stress without deformation. This thickness is calculated to maintain structural integrity under explosive shock conditions.At 4.020" (102.11mm), this terminal provides proper insulation spacing for high-voltage field applications. The length includes safety margins for arcing prevention in low-pressure environments.The 1.950" (49.53mm) dimension allows for easy handling with gloved hands while maintaining compact footprint. This ergonomic consideration is critical for field maintenance operations.The Free Hanging (In-Line) configuration enables rapid deployment in field-expedient situations. This design allows for both permanent and temporary installations with equal reliability.Utilizing Crimp, Barrel technology, this connector maintains performance in extreme temperature cycles. The termination method prevents moisture ingress and subsequent corrosion.Compatible with 600MCM (kcmil) conductors, this terminal handles both power and communication wiring in tactical systems. The design accommodates repeated field repairs without performance degradation.The Non-Insulated system provides chemical and radiation resistance for nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) environments. The material maintains dielectric properties after exposure to decontamination solutions.
