ST Series Aviation Connectors Specifications and Performance Data

SF Series Aviation Connectors: Catalog Overview and Key Specifications

This catalog provides a complete specification of the SF Series aviation connectors across all key dimensions, ranging from product variety (model type, core count) to performance parameters (materials, IP rating, temperature range, electrical properties, and termination). Use this page to compare models and confirm the connector fits your application's electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements.

What This Catalog Covers

This reference is organized to help engineers and procurement teams quickly locate the SF connector variant that matches their design constraints. The data is grouped into the following categories:

• Model type and core count – identifies the available shell sizes, contact arrangements, and gender options.
• Electrical properties – rated current, voltage, and contact resistance values for each configuration.
• Environmental ratings – IP protection level, operating temperature range, and relevant test conditions.
• Materials and termination – insulator, contact plating, and available termination styles (solder, crimp, or PCB).

How to Select the Right SF Connector

Before choosing a model, verify the following parameters against your application's actual operating conditions:

1. Confirm the mating interface and keying – ensure the plug and socket are from the same series and have matching keyway orientation to prevent mis-mating.
2. Check the electrical limits – compare the rated current and voltage with your system's maximum continuous load and peak transients.
3. Evaluate the environmental exposure – verify the IP rating and temperature range are suitable for your installation environment, including any derating factors.
4. Select the termination method – choose between solder, crimp, or PCB termination based on your assembly process and serviceability needs.

Understanding the Specification Table

The specification table lists rated values under standard test conditions. For applications with high ambient temperature, altitude, or continuous high current, apply appropriate derating. The IP rating indicates protection against dust and water ingress only when the connector is properly mated and locked.

Application Boundaries

SF Series connectors are designed for industrial and commercial applications where reliable signal or power transmission is required. They are not intended for submersion or high-vibration environments unless explicitly rated for such use. For applications involving repeated mating cycles or exposure to corrosive chemicals, verify the material compatibility and contact plating options.
