Actisense NMEA2000 Micro Terminator - Female Connector (Part A2K-TER-F)

NMEA2000 Micro Terminator - Female

Actisense terminators are exceptionally robust, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the marine environment, and are easy to install.

Each NMEA 2000 installation must have precisely two termination resistors installed, one at each end of the backbone, to ensure proper operation and signal integrity.

The Actisense range of NMEA 2000 connectors and cables has been designed using our specialist interconnect and NMEA knowledge

The Actisense NMEA2000 Micro Terminator - Female is a critical component for ensuring signal integrity in your marine data network. Designed with robustness in mind, this terminator withstands harsh marine environments while providing reliable performance. It is easy to install and precisely engineered to meet the demanding standards of NMEA 2000 systems. Proper installation requires two terminators—one at each end of the backbone—to maintain proper communication and prevent signal reflections, making this product essential for a stable and efficient network setup. The female contact features phosphor bronze, gold-plated for optimal conductivity, housed within a durable PVC shell that resists corrosion and environmental stress. The internal resistors are 120 ohms with a 1% tolerance, rated at 500mW, ensuring accurate signal termination. This connector features a standard M12-A polarization with a female contact configuration, compatible with M12 mating threads, and includes a rubber O-ring seal for IP67 protection when mated. The brass, nickel-plated screw cap provides secure fastening, while the housing's black PVC construction adds durability and weather resistance. Weighing only about 0.55 ounces, this terminator is lightweight and suitable for compact applications. It is certified with IP67 protection when mated, operating efficiently in temperatures ranging from -13°F to 158°F, and can be stored at temperatures between -40°F and 185°F. The Actisense NMEA2000 Micro Terminator - Female is ideal for marine professionals seeking a reliable, durable, and easy-to-install termination resistor that ensures optimal network performance in challenging environments.
