ACC02E36-77R-003 – Amphenol AC Series Circular Female Receptacle
Available now for order through the Industrial and Aerospace Interconnect Marketplace.
Overview Section
The ACC02E36-77R-003 is a high-performance, box-mount receptacle belonging to the Amphenol AC Series (distributed by PEI-Genesis). This component is the mating partner for the ACC06 straight plug and is designed for permanent mounting on equipment panels, bulkheads, or junction boxes.
This specific receptacle features a Size 36 Shell with a 7-contact (Prong) arrangement. The RADSOK designation is a critical technical upgrade, indicating that the socket contacts utilize Amphenol’s patented hyperbolic grid technology for increased amperage, lower insertion force, and superior vibration resistance. Finished in Olive Drab Cadmium, this receptacle provides a rugged, environmentally sealed interface for heavy-duty power and signal distribution.
Key Features Section
RADSOK Technology: High-performance socket contacts that provide up to 50% more current capacity than standard contacts of the same size, with lower contact resistance.
Box Mount Configuration (02E): Designed for front or rear panel mounting with a square flange and four mounting holes for maximum structural stability.
7-Contact Power Layout: Features seven size #4 socket (SKT) contacts, optimized for high-current power delivery.
Olive Drab Cadmium Finish: Offers industry-leading corrosion protection (500-hour salt spray) and electrical conductivity for shielding.
Threaded Coupling: Compatible with all standard MIL-DTL-5015 style threaded plugs, ensuring a secure, moisture-proof connection.
Environmentally Sealed: The "E" designation indicates an environmentally resistant construction with internal grommets to prevent moisture ingress.

Why Choose the ACC02E36-77R-003?
The ACC02E36-77R-003 is the industry standard for high-amperage panel interfaces. While standard 5015 connectors are reliable, the inclusion of RADSOK contacts in this unit allows it to handle significantly higher power loads without overheating. The size 36 shell provides the physical "heft" required for large power cables, while the Olive Drab finish ensures the connector will not seize or corrode even when exposed to salt fog, fuel, or hydraulic fluids. Choosing this receptacle ensures a reliable, low-maintenance power gateway for your most demanding industrial or military hardware.
For the ACC02E36-77R-003, proper panel sealing is essential. Because this is a box-mount unit, a flange gasket (sold separately) should be used between the receptacle and the panel to maintain environmental integrity. When wiring the size #4 RADSOK contacts, ensure that the cable gauge is matched to the high-current capacity of the contact to prevent localized heating. The square flange should be secured with standard aerospace or industrial fasteners to prevent rotation when the threaded plug is mated or unmated.
