NTE Electronics, Inc
Product details
Optimized for railway signaling systems, NTE Electronics, Inc's 76-FIRD16C Terminals - Barrel, Bullet Connectors delivers unmatched reliability in mass transit applications. This rugged connector series withstands the extreme vibrations and temperature fluctuations characteristic of rail environments. The 76-FIRD16C is particularly effective for trackside equipment and rolling stock interconnects where failure is not an option.The Female, Receptacle (Socket) design features vibration-resistant contacts that maintain connectivity under 5G vibration loads, exceeding EN 50155 requirements.Precision-engineered to 0.091" (2.31mm) specifications, the barrel maintains consistent contact pressure despite thermal expansion in outdoor rail applications.Supporting {Wire Grade} railway-approved cabling, this connector handles both signaling currents and high-power applications in modern transit systems.With 0.906" (23.00mm) dimensions, the connector meets strict clearance requirements for trackside installations while allowing for easy maintenance access.The 0.433" (11.00mm) barrel length is optimized for cold-welding termination processes, creating gas-tight joints that resist oxidation.Fully Insulated materials are halogen-free and meet EN 45545-2 fire safety standards for railway applications.Crimp method ensures reliable connections that withstand 25+ years of service in harsh railway environments.Brass construction provides excellent resistance to sulfur dioxide and other pollutants common in rail environments.Electro-Tin plating maintains stable contact resistance despite frequent thermal cycling from -40 C to +85 C.Blue coding follows UIC standards for simplified identification in complex railway signaling systems.
