Product Overview

100 Series Contacts

Aptiv Interconnect's 100 Series Contacts offer a flexible and reliable solution for rack and panel equipment. These removable electrical contacts are designed for insertion into compatible connector housings, allowing for easy circuit design modifications and maintenance without replacing the entire connector. Commonly used with Aptiv's MRAC series and the DLA qualified MIL-DTL-28748 rectangular connectors, these compact, self-aligning contacts feature high retention force and are widely adopted in industrial, telecommunications, and military applications where reliability, ease of assembly, and field serviceability are paramount. The series includes both pin and socket contacts with various termination types, along with shielded versions for coaxial connections.
