Gepco MP1022 MP1022-2.41 User Manual

The V37 series of multi-pin connectors feature thirty-seven

gold-plated contacts in a low-profile, all-metal, universal-

termination design for use in twelve-channel DT12 ana-

log audio applications.

All exterior components of the V37 are made of

hard-anodized machined-aluminum with

unique left-hand (reverse) threaded backshell

and backnut sections. This all-metal con-

struction is extremely durable and crush-

resistant, making the V37 ideal for use in

mobile production and hostile environ-

ments. When terminated, the metal-

on-metal thread grip coupled with

the reverse thread mechanism pre-

vents accidental loosening of the

backshell. Unlike set-screw type

designs, a terminated V37 is both

completely secure and weather-

tight. In addition, wrench flats

are now present for easy

assembly and disassembly.

The V37 features a new univer-

sal cable design that enables it

to be terminated to either

large or small diameter cables

(with or without steel mesh

cord grips) or XLR fanouts. It

has a resizable multi-piece

gland/strain relief that com-

pletely seals the interior of the

connector from outside ele-

ments. The metal backnut is

internally multi-stepped to

accept both large and small

metal cord grips (or none if

desired). This unique design seats

the cord grip after the strain-relief,

allowing the quality of the seal to

remain uncompromised. Unlike

other designs, the V37 taper com-

pression seal does not need to be dis-

carded in lieu of the inferior seal found

in metal cord grips.

In addition to the functional improvements,

the V37 series features both a thin profile and

low weight. In fact, the new V37 connectors

weigh only about an ounce more than the origi-

nal VKC thermoplastic connectors.  As with the orig-

inal Gepco DT12 connectors, the new V37 has a

crack-proof neoprene insulator, gold-plated solder con-

tacts and is mateable with all existing DT12 type connectors.
