Dielectric withstanding voltage is 1500Vrms Force to engage/disengage is 30N max and the coupling mechanism retention force of 267 N min showed no evidence of dislodging after 500 matings. Unit showed no evidence of damage after being subjected to Corrosion, Thermal Shock and Moisture Resistance tests in accordance with MIL-STD-202. Current versions are available in straight configurations for RG402 and RG405 conformable or semi ridged with RG179 and RG316 crimp versions due for launch this Summer.
