GX16 Connector for Tactical Communication Radar Equipment

SD20/SP20 Square Flange Connector Design and Installation Guide

GX16 Connector for Tactical Communication Radar Equipment

The GX16 connector is a circular, threaded-locking interface designed for signal and power transmission in tactical communication radar systems. Its compact metal-shell construction supports stable electrical connections between radar modules, control panels, and communication interfaces operating in demanding electronic environments.

Selection Considerations for Radar System Integration

When selecting a GX16 connector for radar equipment, verify the following variables against your system requirements:

• Core count and gender: Confirm the required number of cores (2–10 pin range) and whether a male or female configuration matches your cable and panel assembly.
• Housing and contact materials: The zinc alloy housing with nickel plating and brass contacts with silver or gold plating are suited to specific environmental and signal-integrity needs; confirm compatibility with your application's corrosion and conductivity demands.
• Mounting and locking style: Ensure the threaded coupling mechanism and panel or cable mounting style align with your mechanical layout and vibration exposure.

Application Scope and Boundaries

This connector is intended for use in communication radar equipment, signal processing modules, control systems, and similar industrial electronic devices where stable connectivity is required. It is not designed for high-voltage power distribution, submersion-rated applications, or environments requiring chemical resistance beyond the verified material properties. Confirm the specific electrical and environmental limits for your configuration before deployment.

Installation and Mating Dependencies

Proper mating depends on correct alignment of the threaded coupling and the gender of the connector. For field assembly, ensure the cable diameter and termination method are compatible with the connector's contact and housing design. For a precise match, provide the following details when requesting a connector:

• Required pin count and gender (male/female)
• Cable outer diameter and conductor size
• Mounting style (panel or cable) and available space
• Environmental conditions, including temperature range and exposure to moisture or vibration
