SPACE
USE:
These
lightweight connectors meet all of the physical and electrical
requirements of Mil-C-38999 Series IV using space-rated
materials as well as special weight-saving techniques.
They
are superior products suitable for a wide variety of space
applications. G&H Series IV connectors are rugged
easy-to-use coupling mechanisms that can be mated and
unmated through IVA, EVA, and robot manipulation. They
have been used on the Space Shuttle and numerous satellites
and payloads.
The
Breech-LokŪ mechanism uses internal drive threads to provide
maximum mechanical advantage. It locks firmly into place
and will not back off or be loosened by shock or vibration.
Astronauts find them extremely easy to align and mate.
Plugs are available with wing nuts for added leverage.
The
connectors feature complete environmental sealing. All
elastomeric materials are space-compatible and outgassing
is minimized.
