General Purpose Rectangular (GPR) Connectors
Introduction
Product Facts
■ A high density solution
compared to circular
connectors
■ Slim shell design with
high contact density
■ Stackable shells that do
not require additional
space for locking and
unlocking the connectors
■ Uses two to three times
less space
■ A versatile solution suitable
for disconnect panels or
equipment with three
mounting styles:
■ Rack
■ Cable to cable
■ Panel mounting
■ A modular concept with a
large variety of options
■ Shell can accommodate a
wide variety of inserts for
signal, power, coax, data
bus and fiber optic
contacts
■ Optional grounding blocks
(to meet FAA HIRF
requirements)
■ Pin and socket inserts can
be mounted on either
plug or receptacle shells
■ A cost savings and user
friendly solution
■ Inserts can be wired in
the shop and later
installed in the shells
■ A common panel cut out
eases the connector
installation and reduces
cost
■ Inserts can be easily
installed and removed
from the shell
■ Inserts and shells are
keyed to prevent
mismating
■ Standard MIL tools for
contact crimping and
contact insertion/
extraction
■ Field replaceable sub
assemblies
■ Vibration resistant
self-locking threads
A Smart Connector
Tyco Electronics is recognized in the Aerospace and
Defense industry for its global
offering in interconnect solutions. The General Purpose
Rectangular A & B Series
connectors complement our
ARINC connector line and
provide additional flexibility
with improved performance
in a smaller mating area
compared to standard
circular MIL-Spec
connectors.
The GPRA and GPRB series
offer a wide range of solutions based on two insert
sizes, a large variety of
shells and contacts. The
GPRA and GPRB series
provides an excellent tradeoff between the number of
available contacts and the
space actually used. GPRA
inserts are a good option for
low density applications
whereas GPRB inserts offer
twice the density of GPRA
inserts. In addition, the
concept is completely
modular and expandable.
They can also be easily
tailored for custom requirements, such as shell
modifications for additional
inserts.

80x size 22 contacts
New Features
Connector Interface
Connectors for Gallery Insert
(GAIN) Equipment:
• Page 25 lists the GPRB2 shells,
insert arrangements, contacts,
seal plugs, strain reliefs and
cable that will be used, per
ARINC 810. This is the standard
connector interface for new
gallery equipment such as ovens
and beverage makers for new
commercial aircraft. This
includes the twin-axial cable and
contacts needed for the CANBUS
data bus system used for GAIN.
Shells
GPRB1
• Shells have been improved to a
greater level of performance
under vibration. Also EMI
performance has been maintained
while eliminating the need for
separate EMI springs.
GPRB2
• A new GPRB2 shell with mounting
holes of 4.3 mm as been added
(PN 1877335-1)
• A new 90˚ exit, low-profile metal
backshell has been added
(PN 1877338-1)
• Two vertical (square) shell
configurations added, along
with a strain relief (see page 12)
MIL-C-38999 21-35 fitted with
79x size 22 contacts
Insert Arrangements
• New insert configurations for
high speed data transmission both fiber and quadrax
• GPRB - Fiber Optics
F12 - holds up to 12 LuxCis®
fiber optic termini (see page 20)
M2 - holds two 4-channel Mini-
Expanded Beam inserts (see page
21)
GPRB - Quadrax
•
Size 8 quadrax contacts can be
used in three insert arrangements - 10Q2, 25Q1 and 3Q3
Quadrax contacts available
for use are listed in our
Quadrax catalog #1654012.
These feature the exclusive
Tyco Electronics one-piece
dielectric that makes our
quadrax contacts the
easiest to install. If sealing is
required with quadrax or twinax
contacts, there is a size 8
seal boot assembly (PN
1877626-1) that is available.
Use of this seal boot provides
50,000 foot altitude immersion
protection as tested per Boeing
Spec BPS-C-179.
