Parts Description and Details
The RATPAC (Right Angle T connector PACkage) is a
versatile kit for building a right angle connector for use
with the SR receiver or Lectrosonics transmitters. The
3-pin configuration is normally used for the rear panel
audio outputs of the SR receiver. The 5-pin configura-
tion is the standard connector for most belt pack trans-
mitters and the front panel outputs on the 5P version
of the SR receiver.
The kit includes a standard TA5F connector, a 3-pin in-
sert, modified cable clamp, modified backshell, tubing,
set screws with wrench, and a machined aluminum
right angle housing.

The right angle housing is a unique machined alumi-
num part that adapts a TA Series connector to work
with a range of cable sizes and 3-pin or 5-pin inserts.

A standard TA connector sleeve is used with either a
3-pin or 5-pin insert and a modified cable clamp. The
insert nests inside the sleeve and is held in place by a
spacer and metal retainer. The sleeve is held in place
by two set screws in the machined aluminum housing.
The shrink tubing can be used wherever it is useful to
provide an additional strain relief. Cable is not included
in the kit and is shown only to illustrate the use of the
large and small silicon tubing.
