Bulkhead Receptacles

Like cabled bulkhead connectors, bulkhead receptacles are used in applications where the connector is required to fit a panel cutout.   Attachment to the receptacle is usually made by soldering a wire or cable to a solder cup contact on the rear of the connectors.   Bulkhead receptacles are attached to the panel by tightening a nut on either the front or back side of the panel.   Front mount receptacles enter the panel from the front side and the nut is tightened on the back ( rear ) side to the panel.   Rear mount receptacles enter the panel from the rear and the nut is tightened on the front of the panel.   Jack interfaces are the most popular style for bulkhead receptacles.
