The Hirose GT16C-1S-HU(A) is a single-position F-style connector housing in the GT16 series. It is designed to accept F terminals, making it the receptacle-side housing for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connections in this compact coaxial-style interconnect family. The keyed feature ensures the housing can only be mated in the correct orientation, preventing misalignment that could damage contacts or cause intermittent connections. This is the housing half only — terminals are ordered separately.
Mating and Terminal Compatibility
This housing is specified for use with F terminals from the GT16 series. The keyed polarization feature means the housing has a mechanical key that aligns with the corresponding slot on the mating plug — if you try to mate it upside down or with the wrong orientation, it simply won't go together. That's a practical safeguard on a production line or during field replacement where the connector might be mated by feel. The brown color helps distinguish this housing from other GT16 variants on a harness, reducing the chance of grabbing the wrong part during assembly.
