PAM connector — bayonet locking, stainless steel, VG95351 & VG96394 compatible
• BAYONET LOCKING • VG95351 & VG96394 COMPATIBLE • EMI/RFI 360° SHIELDING
The PAM is a stainless steel bayonet connector designed for military radios, intercommunication systems, and tactical modems, with additional use in aeronautics applications. IP68 sealed and rated from -55°C to +85°C, it provides reliable electrical connections for tactical communication equipment and onboard systems where secure locking, signal integrity, and corrosion resistance are essential.
VG95351 & VG96934 compatible connector for land defense
The PAM’s bayonet locking mechanism provides a fast, secure connection that resists vibration-induced loosening, a key requirement in land defense environments. Available in three contact configurations, it covers a range of signal and power requirements for military radios, intercommunication systems, and tactical modems. Its stainless steel shell and 360° EMI/RFI shielding ensure signal integrity in demanding electromagnetic environments, on the ground as well as in aeronautics.
