M85049/56-24W

The M85049/56-24W is a circular connector component used in multiple applications to increase its reliability and longevity. This connector is used primarily for in-flight communications systems and military vehicles. It\'s manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace, with a specification of 58-2 and an operational frequency of 24 GHz.

The M85049/56-24W contains a series of components, including a 3-contact, reverse-bayonet connector with an overall length of 2.19 inches. This connector contains a screened cable and a bayonet style backshell. As an added security measure, the backshell includes four contact pins and a through-hole configuration in military vehicles and other equipment.

The main advantage of the M85049/56-24W is its ability to provide a reliable connection between two inline connectors. By combining the three bayonet connectors and four contact pins, these components are able to withstand extreme environmental conditions, such as salt fog, water immersion, moisture and dust. Additionally, this connector allows for quick and easy installation due to its light weight, minimizing the need for additional tools and hardware.

The working principle of the M85049/56-24W circular connector is relatively simple. It consists of a bayonet style backshell that contains a three-contact, reverse-bayonet-style connector. In order to create a reliable connection between the two connectors, the reverse-bayonet connector is inserted into the backshell. This creates a male-to-male connection that effectively seals the connection, providing a tight fit.

To ensure the connection is secure, the through-hole configuration of the four contact pins in the M85049/56-24W backshell helps to lock the connector in place. The contact pins provide a reliable electrical contact between the two connectors, ensuring the maximum transmission of signals. Additionally, the screened cable is included to reduce the chance of external interference and signal corruption.

The M85049/56-24W connector is designed to provide a reliable connection for harsh environments, from aircrafts in-flight communications systems to military vehicles. Its combination of three bayonet connectors and four contact pins offer increased levels of reliability, while minimising the installation effort thanks to its light weight and through-hole configuration.
