REC RB 5015 reverse-bayonet connectors

Rugged reverse-bayonet circular connectors compatible with VG95234 and commercial 5015-style equivalents.

REC RB connectors are the reverse-bayonet counterpart to the threaded RMS range. They are compatible with VG95234 connectors and with compatible commercial equivalents from manufacturers including Amphenol, Glenair and ITT Cannon.

A broad choice of accessories, contact arrangements and shell materials supports demanding applications. Copper-alloy solder or crimp contacts are available with silver or gold plating, alongside thermocouple contacts. Standard aluminium shells can be complemented by marine-bronze and stainless-steel options.
