Product catalog summary
Introduction
Radiall's Quick Multipin (QM) series connectors are designed for in-line disconnect applications in commercial airplanes, offering excellent electrical performance and durability. The series includes two sizes, QM size A and QM size B, optimizing weight and density in aircraft wiring systems. These connectors are tool-less and lightweight, simplifying wiring design by eliminating the need for panel cutouts.
Features & Benefits
The QM series connectors are lightweight, user-friendly, and require no tools for installation. They feature high conductive rails for clean and efficient use.
Electrical Characteristics
The connectors conform to SAE AS 39029 standards, with shell-to-shell conductivity of less than 2.5 mΩ and operating voltage of 400 Vrms or 500 Vdc at sea level. They are designed to withstand lightning strikes and have a magnetic permeability of less than 2 µ. The connectors support various wire sizes with maximum current ratings ranging from 2 to 46 Amps.
Mechanical and Environmental Characteristics
The QM series connectors are designed to withstand vibration and shock, with specific acceleration and shock amplitude ratings. They have a temperature range of -65°C to +155°C and can endure 1000 hours at 155°C. The connectors are resistant to salt spray and humidity.
Insert Selection Table
QM size A connectors use EPXA inserts, while QM size B connectors use EPXB inserts. The table provides details on contact sizes and types available for each insert, including signal, power, coaxial, and fiber optic contacts.
How to Order EPX Insert
The ordering process involves selecting the insert size, class, name, type, and keying, with specific codes for different configurations.
