30-Position 1.5mm Pitch Plug-to-Plug Adapter
The TE Connectivity 3-292216-0 is a 30-position plug-to-plug adapter from the Mini CT series. Both ends terminate in male pins, making it a passthrough interconnect that joins two female receptacles. The 0.059" (1.50mm) pitch on a 2-row layout gives a 2x15 contact grid — the tight row spacing means the board footprint is compact but routing traces between the rows requires care. The housing mounts into a panel cutout with snap-in retention, locking the adapter in place so the cable assemblies on either side can be mated and unmated without stressing the panel mount.
Panel Mount Design and Fit
Snap-in panel mounting means the adapter body presses into a rectangular cutout and latches without hardware. This is the standard approach for a bulkhead feedthrough — the adapter stays fixed while the mating cable plugs connect on each side. The 2-row, 30-position layout with 0.059" (1.50mm) row spacing defines the cutout size; the panel opening must match the housing profile exactly for the snap-in latches to engage. No additional brackets or screws are needed.
