Renhotec GX16A2S straight cable mount 2pin metal female connector *new*

GX series connectors are quite commonly referred as aviation connectors or microphone connectors (more friendly as mic connectors). We do doubt that these are proper aerospace grade connectors... In a matter of hand, hell no, they for sure are not, but they do still make an awesome microphone connector. These are used as microphone connector quite commonly among hobby radios, such as LA radios, CB radios and other HAM radios. Apart from microphone uses these can be encountered as a power supply/signal cable among various smaller or larger appliances, such as hobby grade milling machines, power supply/signal connections in industrial devices, and some other custom doohickeys.

Here is a few good properties regarding this connector:

• Coupling is (usually) made with one hand (unless lock ring thread get dirty or stuck)
• Affordable multi pin connector
• Lock ring secured mating is vibration and pull resistant
