BIRNS' Millennium miniature, high-density metal shell connectors are the most advanced connectors of their type, and are rigorously qualified and tested. They are rated to 500 volts, and we can make high-voltage or special configurations for your application. Contact us!

BIRNS Millennium connectors range in size from '3F' to '3X', with conductors as follows:

3F - one contact
3G - up to 10 contacts
3K - up to 20 contacts
3L - up to 25 contacts
3M - up to 31 contacts
3O - up to 46 contacts
3P - up to 83 contacts
3R - up to 119 contacts
3T - up to 161 contacts
3X - Contact us for details

Cable Plugs ("CP's") are terminated to solid cables in straight (0o), 45o, and 90o styles. With an adapter, a CP may be installed onto an oil-filled cable, with a "hose clamp" tubing attachment ("CP-OH") or a double-ferrule hydraulic fitting ("CP-OF"). Contact us for details.

Sealing caps are available, as is termination (electrical, optical, and/or mechanical, of Aramid/Kevlar and steel), and overmolding.

Part Numbering Explanation

  • 3: BIRNS Millennium connectors are an advanced, third-generation series; thus, all model numbers begin with '3'.

  • Size Letter: This specifies the connector size.

  • Contacts Number: This specifies the quantity of contacts.

  • Connector Configuration Letters: These specify if the connector is a Receptacle or a Plug, and how it attaches to its substrate, e.g. "OR" or "CP".

    Examples:

    3G-10-CP: is a 3G-size 10 contact Cable Plug.

    3P-25-FR: is a 3P-size 25 contact Flanged Receptacle.

    3O-9-CP-OF: is a 3O-size 9 contact Cable Plug, for Oil-filled cable, with double-ferrule hydraulic Fitting.

    3M-RCH: is a 3M-size Receptacle Cap for High pressure.

BIRNS' GEN-2 (Second Generation) Series of miniature, high-density metal shell connector is the precursor to the BIRNS Millennium Series. These connectors have been discontinued, but are supported by BIRNS on a case-by-case basis; selected drawings are on-line.


Burton Replacements
BIRNS has produced connectors to replace all four Burton shell sizes. These have mounting ends dimensionally equivalent to the replaced product, so they fit into existing mounting holes with no bulkhead modification. The connector end offers BIRNS' best features, including: removable GRE inserts with insulated solder pots, Class A rating, rugged construction with positive stops to eliminate over-tightening, dual stainless keys and Acme engaging threads, dual o-ring seals throughout and true cable connector oil-fill capability.
