Amphenol is a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of high-performance interconnect systems for harsh environment defense applications including vibration, pressure, humidity, nuclear radiation and severe temperature changes. We have unparalleled product breadth ranging from military specification connectors, customized high-speed board level interconnects, flexible to rigid printed circuit boards, backplane systems and integrated assemblies. Our solutions span most defense end markets including avionics, communications, engines, ground vehicles and tanks, homeland security, naval, ordnance and missile systems, radar systems, rotorcraft, satellite and space programs and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) offers the Optron line of circular, hybrid (fiber optic/ electrical) connectors using proven M28876 technology. The high-precision engineered polymer insert provides optical performance superior to that of other hybrid connectors, particularly in high channel count configurations.
Over-braided cable assemblies for the Military and Commercial Aerospace markets. Braiding material, which improves overall EMI performance, includes Stainless Steel, Tinned Copper, and Aluminum. Braiding materials such as Nylon and Nomex are used for cable jacketing and vary based on operating temperature.
Control panel assemblies for on-road and off-road specialty vehicles and military ground vehicles. Production volumes range from low to medium volume. Often our wire harnesses attach to and/or are internal to the panel assemblies we build. Applications include power distribution modules, instrument panels, switch panels, and many other types of sub-assemblies.
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.
This hardware effectively redirects external forces away from the PCB connectors, ensuring a stable and reliable connection between the cable assembly and the PCB. The mounting hardware is designed for easy installation, leveraging existing cable connector features and requiring only a screw, nut, and Allen wrench for secure attachment. This solution is ideal for high-reliability applications.
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.
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.
Circular connectors, TV of aluminum, stainless steel, marine bronze, approved as per MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. Versions available as power plugs from 250V to 500V, Powersafe, with pre-mated mass contacts.
SV Microwave has developed a unique and proprietary method for removing gold in the solder area of our RF connectors. We plan for gold removal in the design stage, modifying the connector body so it can be fixtured effectively and gold can be thoroughly removed from the solderable area - including nearby areas which may be prone to capillary effect wicking.
