Bayonet Connector
The ABBMS Bayonet Connector series is based on the
MS series of connectors which conform to American
Mil-C-5015 specification. Originally developed for
aerospace applications, the connectors are now used
extensively throughout the mass transportation,
military fighting vehicle, commercial and general
industrial markets.
ABBMS Bayonet Connectors are interchangeable
with all corresponding MS types and feature
identical panel mounting dimensions and contact
arrangements. Positive coupling is indicated by
an audible ‘snap’ and visually by the alignment of
three coloured spots on the receptacle shell and the
coupling nut of the free plug connector.
Protection against dust and water ingress is achieved
by using a dynamic sealing under the coupling nut
and by using an individual wire seal grommet in
the connector back shell assembly. A wavy washer
assembly, also situated in the coupling nut and a
comprehensive range of back shells and accessories,
ensure excellent shell-to-shell continuity and shielding
characteristics between mated connectors.
Product approvals include British Standard
9522 F0032 and German standard VG95234.
The connectors are also designed to meet the
requirement of railway specifications TDE 77/R/42
and RSE/STD/024.
ABBMS Bayonet Connectors are supplied with
aluminium parts plated with cadmium free finishes
and with a choice of passivation.
