Bantam Bayonet Lightweight Aerospace Connectors
Contact:
Description:
Bantam is a high-performance circular connector product range developed for aerospace applications where electrical performance must be met with affordability. High mating cycles along with excellent shell to shell electrical bonding for EMI are the benchmark of rugged connectors. Bantam provides a solution that meets your budget and performance goals. Amphenol has filled the gap between the most ruggedized military grade connectors and the consumer grade connectors with Bantam.
Bantam utilizes a robust triple bayonet coupling mechanism along with an internal EMI ground spring to provide excellent shell to shell conductivity. Various mounting options are available including in-line and 2 hole flange mount configurations.
Bantam meets the RoHS and EWIS requirements for the aerospace cabin environment.
Applications include:
- Cabin & Proximity Lighting
- Sensors
- IFE&C
- In-Seat Wiring
- In-line Connections
- Panel/Equipment Connections
