DESIGN FEATURES
STYLE – Streamlined, miniaturized with nickel-plated metal
and contrasting black plastic parts. Designed for light weight
and unobtrusiveness. Also available in conductive black
chrome finish.
CONSTRUCTION – Metal parts are rugged die-cast or
precision machined with nickel-plating; plastic parts are molded
of high dimensional-stability thermoplastic. Advanced design
assures minimum weight consistent with strength and
durability of cord plug housings of .413" (10.5 mm) diameter
Weight: Series TA(*)F plug = .25 ounce (7 g); Series TA(*)M =
.3 ounce (8.5 g).
INSERTS – Precision molded of thermoplastic for high
mechanical and dielectric strength. Contacts and terminals
are precision formed and plated for intimate contact and low
resistance connections. Terminal numbers are molded on rear
of male insert and on face of female insert for easy
identification (except 6-pin male insert). Inserts can be supplied
for OEM installation in microphones and instrumentation for
optimum connecting reliability. For cord plugs, inserts can also
be supplied for replacements.
LATCHLOCK – Positive latch system assures high integrity,
vibration-resistant mating and transfer of shielding connection
between housing, combined with simple, easy fingertip release.
STRAIN RELIEF – Rugged internal clamp holds cable tightly,
while making a secure, low resistance connection between
cable shield and housing.

FLEX RELIEF – Protects by minimizing cable bending stress
at point of cable entry. Maximum recommended cable diameter
is .115" (2.92 mm) when flex relief is used. By omitting
flex relief (Series T(*)FL and T(*)ML only), cable up to .170"
(4.32 mm) diameter can be used.
ASSEMBLY – Connector parts are mechanically keyed for
simple assembly.
POLARIZATION – Mating male and female connectors are
also mechanically keyed (latch and groove) so that it is impossible
to mate them incorrectly.
“SCOOP-PROOF” FEATURE – Fully recessed pins on male
plugs and receptacles cannot be “scooped”, bent or damaged
by accidental mismating with mating connector.
COLOR ESCUTCHEONS – Attractive color escutcheons,
Series TYEF, are recommended for use with Series TY(*)F and
TY(*)FPC receptacles (when rear mounted) for attractive panel
trim, as well as color coding one or more connectors. Colors
are: red, black, gray, green, blue, white and yellow.
