High density rectangular connector with enhanced retention and solder- ability features that meets the requirements of MIL-DTL-28804 and NAVSEA 3164341 and 3164342 specifications. Rated at 5 amps per contact (with a temperature rise of less than 300 C after three hours of each contact continuously conducting 5 amps), this new padded design is an improvement over the standard version as it provides a means for improved solder flow and for post solder visual inspection. This new connector reduces FOD by eliminating other means such as washers or inserts to achieve a visual quality assurance check
