TEMPERATURE RISE CURVE
All contacts of the BMP-Series connector
family utilize the “Large Surface Area (L.S.A.)
Contact Mating System.” The “L.S.A. Contact
Mating System” insures the lowest level of con-
tact resistance during mechanical endurance
tests of 500 coupling cycles or more. Contact
insertion/withdrawal forces remain substantially
the same during the life of the connector.
The BMP-Series connectors use only
“Closed Entry” design female contacts. The
“Closed Entry” design prevents probe damage to
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.
Spring retention member provides uniform
retention of male contact when mated.

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.

COMPANY
Positronic Industries is pleased to present the BMP con-
nector which is designed as a power interface connector for
high voltage/high current applications. This connector is
offered with four standard mounting options which allow for
cable-to-cable and cable-to-panel connections.
The BMP connector features Positronic’s “Large Surface
Area Contact Mating System,”
with high reliability “Closed
Entry” design female contacts.
The BMP connector is also
designed with raised bosses
on the insulator which improve
high voltage capabilities and
prevent accidental Operator
exposure to live contacts.
Polarization and blind mating
capabilities are options
designed into the insulator of
the BMP connector.
Contacts for the BMP connectors are sold separately. The
standard contacts for BMP connectors are Size 8 and Size 16
crimp or solder removable contacts. Contact combinations can
handle 8 to 24 AWG size wire. Size 16 contacts are rated for 25
amperes per contact and Size 8 contacts are rated for up to 40
amperes per contact. Coaxial contacts are also available; con-
sult the Factory for special
ordering information.
Positronic Industries offers a
full range of crimp tools for use
with the BMP crimp contacts.
Consult Positronic’s Heavy-Duty
Rectangular Connector Catalog
or the Factory for additional tool-
ing information.
Other combinations of power
and signal contacts are avail-
able on special order to satisfy
special customer requirements.

COMPANY
Positronic Industries is pleased to present the BMP con-
nector which is designed as a power interface connector for
high voltage/high current applications. This connector is
offered with four standard mounting options which allow for
cable-to-cable and cable-to-panel connections.
The BMP connector features Positronic’s “Large Surface
Area Contact Mating System,”
with high reliability “Closed
Entry” design female contacts.
The BMP connector is also
designed with raised bosses
on the insulator which improve
high voltage capabilities and
prevent accidental Operator
exposure to live contacts.
Polarization and blind mating
capabilities are options
designed into the insulator of
the BMP connector.
Contacts for the BMP connectors are sold separately. The
standard contacts for BMP connectors are Size 8 and Size 16
crimp or solder removable contacts. Contact combinations can
handle 8 to 24 AWG size wire. Size 16 contacts are rated for 25
amperes per contact and Size 8 contacts are rated for up to 40
amperes per contact. Coaxial contacts are also available; con-
sult the Factory for special
ordering information.
Positronic Industries offers a
full range of crimp tools for use
with the BMP crimp contacts.
Consult Positronic’s Heavy-Duty
Rectangular Connector Catalog
or the Factory for additional tool-
ing information.
Other combinations of power
and signal contacts are avail-
able on special order to satisfy
special customer requirements.
BMP SERIES CONTACT ORDERING INFORMATION
NOTE: Contacts are not supplied with the BMP-series connectors and must be ordered separately.
