MASS PUNCH SYSTEM

MASS PUNCH PANELS 56 channel MASS Punch now expanded to 58 channels 24 channel Mini Punch expands to 28 channels Punchdown panels are an ideal way to terminate your multipin MASS connectors. Developed by ADC and Whirlwind, the 58-channel MASS Punch has terminated thousands of MASS connectors with a solid gas-tight connection system that accommodates 22, 24, or 26 ga. solid or stranded wire and permits easy rerouting of wires in the field. ADC's Quick Connect Punchdown (QCP) technology completely eliminates tinning and soldering, resulting in significantly faster setup and maintenance times.

The 58 channel MASS Punch, the 28-channel Mini Punch and the 16-channel Micro Punch. The multiple mounting hole sets permit easy mounting on standard hole centers and included tie wraps can be used to dress incoming wires. All three punchdown panels work with our QB-2 spring-loaded or QB-115 manual punchdown tool.

The rugged metal shell protects against moisture and physical abuse. The hermaphroditic design eliminates stocking and logistical problems encountered with male/female connector systems by reducing the number of required parts. All MASS connectors include a heavy-duty dust cap. Inlines also include strain relief. MASS connectors are available in four sizes: W5 48 contacts; up to 16 pair cable W6 84 contact; up to 28 pairs cable W3 122 contact; up to 40 pair cable W4 176 contact; up to 56 pair cable W3 and W4 pinnable MASS connectors are completely compatible with existing fixed-pin solder-type MASS connectors, and use the same inline and panel-mount housings. These new crimp type versions are designed for easy, positive insertion and removal of pins and sockets, using a standard crimp tool and locator insert available from Whirlwind or other suppliers.  W4IRP  W3IRP  W6IRP  W5IRP   W5CRP   W6CRP   W3CRP   W4CRP   MASS CONNECTOR PRODUCT NUMBERS Crimp Type W3CRP   MASS 122 pin chassis, crimp type pin/socket W3IRP   MASS 122 pin inline, crimp type pin/socket W4CRP   MASS 176 pin chassis, crimp type pin/socket W4IRP   MASS 176 pin inline, crimp type pin/socket W5CRP   MicroMASS 48 pin chassis, crimp type pin/socket W5IRP   MicroMASS 48 pin inline, crimp type pin/socket W6CRP   MicroMASS 84 pin chassis, crimp type pin/socket W6IRP   MicroMASS 84 pin inline, crimp type pin/socket Solder Type /tr> W3C MASS 122 pin chassis, solder type W3I MASS 122 pin inline, solder type W4C MASS 176 pin chassis, solder type W4I MASS 176 pin inline, solder type (Note: W5x and W6x MicroMASS connectors are only available in crimp type.) Wiring MASS Connectors All MASS connectors are asexual with every connector containing an equal number of pins and sockets . This means that there is only one model of chassis and inline connector for each size without the usual male/female connector designations. However, the male/female connectors are replaced with two differing wiring conventions that must be adhered to in order to obtain the expected results and to ensure compatibility with existing systems. It's really a simple job to get a MASS connector system wired correctly if a few basic conventions are adhered to.
