Actisense NMEA2000 Micro Terminator - Male for Marine Data Networks

NMEA2000 Micro Terminator - Male

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 - Male is designed to ensure optimal signal integrity in marine communication systems. Engineered with durability in mind, this terminator withstands harsh marine environments, featuring a rugged construction that resists corrosion and physical stress. Its easy installation process allows for quick setup, making it ideal for both professional and DIY marine applications. Proper NMEA 2000 network operation depends on the correct placement of two termination resistors at each end of the backbone, and this Micro Terminator fits seamlessly into that configuration.

The technical specifications of this terminator highlight its reliability and safety. Rated for 60VDC power supply and capable of handling currents up to 4A, it incorporates 120Ω internal termination resistors with 1% tolerance and 500mW power rating, ensuring consistent signal quality. The male contact is made from brass with a gold-plated finish for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the contact carrier is crafted from PA66 (30% glass-filled), providing strength and durability. The M12 standard polarization and threading facilitate secure connections, and the brass screw cap with nickel plating adds to its robustness.

Built to operate in extreme conditions, the Actisense Micro Terminator features an IP67 protection rating when mated, safeguarding against dust and water ingress. It is suitable for temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C, with storage capabilities from -40°C to +85°C. The compact design weighs approximately 0.6 ounces, making it easy to handle and install in tight spaces. This product is compliant with relevant safety and environmental standards, ensuring reliable performance in marine environments.
