Developed by Multi-Contact
in response to demand for a
heavy duty electrical
connector with continuous
EMC shielding, the 16BV-GS
is suitable for use with power
supply systems using
frequency inverters, such as
in the operation of threephase
motors.

The round, single-pole
connector is based on Multi-
Contact’s 16BV, which is used
in many test facilities,
emergency power supplies
and switching installations.

The 16BV-GS has been
designed for use in rugged
conditions, such as those
encountered with slurry or
‘mud’ pumps in the oil and
gas industry. It provides touch
protection when in the unmated
state, while bayonet fixing
ensures a secure connection.

The shielding provides
electromagnetic attenuation
of 65dB up to 100MHz.
The connector has been
tested to IP65 and IP67, both
when mated and with its
captive sealing caps in place.
