Sealed breakaway coupling provides rugged resilience in vibration and impact-prone installations, reducing unplanned downtime and damage to harnesses in harsh environments. Application: conveyors, outdoor lighting, and emergency power systems benefit from protected connections and quicker disconnections when servicing is required. The 16-position layout with a front-panel mount saves space and simplifies harness routing, improving installation speed and reducing panel clutter. Business impact: faster commissioning and easier future upgrades. Solder cup contacts offer reliable, soldered terminations that resist loosening in vibration-heavy processes, enabling durable field servicing and predictable electrical performance. With a brass shell and non-reflective black chrome plating, the connector delivers corrosion resistance and glare reduction, improving long-term reliability in harsh environments. The push-pull breakaway coupling supports safe, deliberate disconnects under stress, minimizing equipment damage during an emergency pull. No backshell option simplifies procurement and keeps the assembly compact. Operating from -40 °C to 125 °C, the unit supports extreme ambient conditions without compromising contact integrity, ensuring performance across diverse industrial settings. This combination of features translates into measurable gains in uptime, maintenance efficiency, and total cost of ownership for lighting and emergency systems installations.

FAQs
The JDXFA2T16MSN is designed as a front-panel mounted plug with 16 solder-cup contacts, suitable for panel wiring harnesses in lighting and emergency systems. It accepts male solder contacts and is specified as unloaded for contact delivery, which means you install your own contacts to the solder cups. Ensure your panel cutout and mounting hardware align with the 2-size brass shell and that there is adequate clearance for the 16-position layout. There is no backshell option available for this variant, so plan enclosure protection and strain relief accordingly.
Key performance indicators include a 16-position layout, brass shell with non-reflective black chrome plating, and a operating temperature range from -40 °C to 125 °C. The connector uses solder cup contact delivery and a plug for panel mounting with push-pull breakaway coupling. These features support reliable electrical contact under vibration and wide temperature swings, aiding long-term reliability in harsh environments such as facility lighting and emergency systems.
Yes. The JDX series sealed breakaway connector is well-suited for lighting and emergency system deployments due to its rugged construction, front-panel plug design, and 16-contact capability. The 16-pin layout supports multi-signal or power distribution, while the sealed breakaway feature minimizes damage from accidental pulls and environmental ingress, aligning with common safety and reliability requirements in these applications.
Certification details depend on the exact product configuration and regional requirements. The JDXFA2T16MSN specification emphasizes environmental robustness and operating temperature, but users should confirm CE, IP ratings, and SIL alignment with Eaton for their specific build and market. When planning compliance, document the enclosure environment, mating interfaces, and mechanical shock/vibration ratings to ensure your installation meets applicable standards.
The combination of front-panel mounting, solder cup contacts, and a sealed breakaway design reduces field maintenance time by enabling quick disconnections and straightforward reassembly. The rugged brass shell and protective plating improve durability against corrosion and wear, lowering replacement frequency. Overall, this translates to lower downtime, faster service, and a lower total cost of ownership in energy systems, industrial controls, and lighting applications.
