The connectors are blind mateable, auto-clavable, scoop proof, and field serviceable. They have gold-plated #24 gauge crimp, solder or PC tail contacts and accept #22-28 AWG wire. Two shell sizes are available: 0.420" dia. max (4 and 7 pins) and 0.625" dia. max (13 pins). A choice of threaded or J-lock bayonet coupling mechanisms is available as well. Other specifications include: voltage rating at sea level of 400 Vac, an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, and current ratings from 1.5A to 3A max.
