Octomax 1G26 Contacts
A new generation of Ethernet contacts compatible with Size 8 quadrax cavities for D38999, EN3645, EN4165 connectors. It's the right choice for ethernet Cat 5e and AFDX applications. One Octomax 1G26 is equivalent to two quadrax. It fits in a standard size 8 quadrax cavity. The contacts are available in crimp and PC Tails version.
Optik-D
"The Optik-D™ fibre-optic connector solution is for designers who need to terminate optical cable in harsh or challenging environments. It is an ARINC 801 conforming fibre-optic connector designed to be used with the Positronic Combo D-Subminiature family. Optik-D is more cost-effective than D38999 or ARINC 600-based systems and is compatible with ARINC 801 products from other manufacturers.
PCB Contacts
PCB Tail contacts are best for applications that have limited space and connectors that are attached to printed circuit boards. Three standard tail lengths (.15 inches, .25 inches, .35 inches). Custom designs available. Gold plated or pre-tinned.
PCS
The PCS Series are versatile, high-current, mixed density connectors with low contact resistance. It remains an industry-leading power connector in the market. Options for one, two, or three contact rows provide flexibility in selection and high conductivity contacts are available to maximize current density. Other options - sequential mating, integrated locking latch, and press-fit contacts.
Pegasus
Pegasus is Amphenol Pcd’s latest innovation in small, lightweight, rugged connectors. Designed for use in harsh environments, Pegasus builds on the successful Luminus Series Aerospace connector with the addition of EMI shielding. Tests show between 40db and 60db of attenuation, depending on frequency. RoHS and REACH compliant.
Pegasus High Speed
Pegasus High Speed provides exceptional performance in tight spaces, with a svelte shell size 8 (0.512”) outer diameter. With the explosive growth in Ethernet-enabled devices (IOT), this is size and configuration is particularly suited for endpoint applications, such as individual avionics sensors, panel-mounted units, seat back, and wall-mounted displays and monuments.
PhaseTrack®-047
PT-047 is a low-loss, highly flexible, foam-core micro coaxial cable. Originally designed for space satellite programs, this high-performance cable has many applications across multiple markets.
Position Sensors
Piher Sensing Systems is a specialty manufacturer of standard and custom position controls and position sensor solutions. With a broad portfolio of contactless sensors (magnetic and inductive technologies), potentiometers, and printing electronics, Piher offers rotary and linear position, speed and switch solutions for applications requiring the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
Power Distribution Units (PDU)
Our Power Distribution Units (PDU) ensure advanced load balancing, surge protection, and seamless integration of crucial systems, with control and diagnostics via CAN bus, RS-485, and/or Ethernet, offering a robust foundation for military operations in challenging conditions from 28V to 600V.
Push-Button Switches
Wide variety of momentary and push-pull switches. Switches can be combined with other connector options. The switches are qualified to MIL-S-8805/3 or MS25089 specifications. Custom switches are available including our IP-68 Hydro Switch.
