MU27P Connector

TE Connectivity MU27P Signal  Aluminium shell connectors with automatic push pull coupling system. Incorporated with mechanical coding, the 5 colour codes prevent inter-mating of any other 27 pole jumpers. The TE Connectivity MU27P Series is designed to the Amtrak* wire configuration standard and complies with standards AAR-S-512: Locomotives and locomotive interchange equipment and APTA-PR-E-RP-019-99: Recommended Practice for 27-Point Jumper and Receptacle Hardware for Locomotives and Locomotive-hauled equipment.

MU27P Signal Connector

The MU (multiple unit) connectors include a 27 pin receptacle and plug, “dummy” receptacle and cover that are used to convey the locomotive functions between units. Designed to accept one 10 AWG lead with all other leads being 12 AWG or 14 AWG allows the connectors to be completely interchangeable and intermateable with other brands adhering to the AAR-S-512 specification, and are key in preventing intermating of different wiring configurations.
