ABCIRP
Modular Bayonet Lock Connector
The ABCIRP connector series is derived from the American Mil-C-5015 & VG95234 specifications and is approved
to the French rail specification NF F 61 030.
The connectors are intermateable and interchangeable with corresponding types, but feature a low fire hazard
thermoplastic insulator which is removeable for repositioning at an alternative orientation.
Contacts are retained in the insulator by means of a unique beryllium copper spring clip.
Connector sealing features a stepped wire seal grommet which removes the need to populate unused cavities with
filler plugs.
Crimp tooling is industry standard and contacts are inserted and removed using simple hand tools.
