the female contacts, and will not allow the female

contact to accept misaligned or bent male con-
tacts.
All
BMP-Series
contacts are precision
machined from solid copper alloy barstock. They
are durable, smooth in construction, and have
greater amperage capacities than hollow, sheet
metal style contacts.
The
BMP-Series
contact, having a large con-
tact surface area, produces less heat at the con-
tact surface, thereby permitting the connector to
operate at high amperage levels continuously,
and still maintain lower connector temperatures.

The curves shown above were developed using twelve (12) Size 16 MC116N and FC116N2 contacts with 16 AWG (1.5 mm2) size
wire, and six (6) Size 8 MC4008D-858.2 and FC4008D contacts with 10 AWG (6 mm2) size wire. Current was applied through two
separate circuits; 15 amperes was maintained through the Size 16 MC116N and FC116N2 contacts and allowed to thermally sta-
bilize while current through the Size 8 MC4008D-858.2 and FC4008D contacts was increased from 0 to 40 amperes.

ORDERING INFORMATION FOR BMP CONNECTORS
BMP connectors are offered in four mounting styles. Schematic 1 shows the BMP connector with no mounting hardware while Schematic 2 illustrates the plug shell option. Schematic 3 pictures a floating board
mount option with a cable support (hood) while Schematic 4 details a jackscrew option. Use the indicated part numbers to order the desired BMP connector assembly. Order the contacts based on the contact part
number charts shown elsewhere on this brochure. Contact the Factory for ordering information on special indicated “Additional Options.”

DESCRIPTION
Male and female contacts, Size 8 and 16. Terminations are crimp, solder, and printed board straight solder.
Male and female connector insulators. May be used as a free or fixed connector.
Fixed jackscrews.
Rotating jackscrews.
Hood (cable adapter) provides cable support.
Male and female shells (shrouds) protect contacts from damage. May also provide additional polarization
combinations.
Mounting plate used to mount a fixed connector to a panel.
Float bushings.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:
COAXIAL CONTACTS, SIZE 16 SOLDER TERMINATION CONTACTS, AND CRIMP TOOLS
Coaxial contacts, and Size 16 solder termination contacts are also offered for the BMP connectors. Consult
Positronic’s Heavy-Duty Rectangular Connector Catalog and the factory for details. Crimp tools are
available from stock. Other combinations of power and signal contacts are available on special order to
satisfy special customer requirements.
Consult the factory for technical and ordering information.
BMP SERIES CONTACT ORDERING INFORMATION
NOTE: Contacts are not supplied with the BMP-series connectors and must be ordered separately.
