Premium Zh852516n12b8gshn Aviation Circular Connector for Global Buyers

ZH852516N12B8GSHN Circular Connector, ZH8525 Series

The ZH852516N12B8GSHN is a circular electrical connector designed for aerospace, avionics, and industrial platforms. It belongs to the ZH8525 series connector family. Note: The ZH8525 series is a distinct connector standard, separate from MIL-DTL-38999 / GJB599, MIL-DTL-27484 (MS27484), MIL-DTL-27497 (MS27497), MIL-DTL-27508 (MS27508), MIL-DTL-26482 (62GB), JY27466 (GJB), 8D series, Y50 series, and YLH series, and is not directly form-fit-function interchangeable with any of those connectors unless confirmed by the supplier.

This connector features shell size 12 (approximately equivalent to D38999 shell size C / 13), shell letter B, insert arrangement 8 (confirm exact contact count and type with supplier), socket contacts (S), an "H" special variant designation (confirm exact meaning with supplier), and normal keying (N). The "16" code indicates a specific style designation, and "N" after the style is a designator code — both require supplier confirmation. The "G" designator indicates a finish or material code (confirm with supplier). The design supports EMI shielding and removable crimp contacts.

Compatible Applications

The ZH852516N12B8GSHN connector is intended for platforms that require ZH8525 series compliant interconnects in shell size 12, using socket contacts. Typical use cases include:

• Aircraft and helicopter wiring harness interconnects (ZH8525 series standard)
• Avionics LRUs, radar, and communication equipment
• Ground vehicles and rugged electronic enclosures
• Shipboard and industrial equipment requiring circular connectors
• Programs that standardize on ZH8525 series interfaces

Selection Guide

Installation Notes

• Verify shell size, insert arrangement, contact gender, and normal keying before mating. Confirm the meaning of the "16" style code, "N" designator, "G" finish code, and "H" variant designation with supplier.
• Use the correct crimp tooling for the contact size specified by arrangement 8 (confirm contact type with supplier).
• Fully engage the coupling mechanism with the mating ZH8525 series connector until securely seated.
• Mate only with ZH8525 series connectors of the same shell size, arrangement, opposite contact gender (pin), and normal keying.
• Do NOT attempt to mate with D38999/J599 Series III, MS27484, MS27497, MS27508, 62GB/MIL-DTL-26482, JY27466, 8D, Y50, or YLH series connectors — ZH8525 series is a different standard and is not interchangeable unless confirmed by supplier.
