The 97-3102A-16S-8S is a standard cylindrical connector from Amphenol's 97 Series featuring solder contacts and a 5-contact arrangement (16S-8 configuration). This medium to heavy weight connector utilizes a threaded coupling mechanism with hard dielectric inserts and non-rotating contacts, providing durable, field-proven performance. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and is UL recognized (File E115497) and CSA certified (File LR69183). The connector supports single key/keyway polarization and is intermateable with existing 97 Series and SAE AS50151 connectors. Common applications include industrial equipment, aerospace systems, and harsh environment installations where robust electrical connections and temperature stability are essential.
