NGCON
Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) is pleased to offer MIL-PRF-NGCON compliant fiber optic connectors with proven technology and features from existing connector standards of D38999 and 28876 for the next generation connector (NGCON). These innovative connectors include genderless contacts and high-density packaging.
Non-Magnetic RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave’s latest addition to its Non-Magnetic product family introduces high-performance cable assemblies engineered for magnetically sensitive environments. These compact 6" assemblies pair trusted SMA and SMPM interfaces with Ø.047" or Ø.085" flexible cables to deliver low-loss, high-frequency performance in a ready-to-use format. Ideal for applications in quantum computing, test and measurement.
N-Type Connector Series
N-Type connectors are designed to satisfy the need for a durable, weatherproof, medium-size RF connector with consistent performance through 11 GHz. Our N-Type connectors feature threaded coupling mechanisms and are fully interchangeable with N-Type connectors made to the MIL-C-39012 specification. These connectors are used in all systems where excellent RF and mechanical performance is critical.
Octonet Contacts
Size 8 Octonet Contacts for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. Available in size 8 crimp termination style, including PC tails. Can be installed in existing size 8 Quadrax cavities. Meets performance specifications of CAT-6A cable. Overall higher bandwidth than standard CAT5E Quadrax-supports up to 4.0 Gbps per pair. 10G Ethernet compliant.
Optron Hybrid DS
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 & Rugged Ethernet Cables
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.
Panel Assemblies
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 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.
PCB Design
APC has a highly skilled applications and design support team available to collaborate with you on new designs, product updates, wire harness conversions and reverse-engineering of legacy products.
APC Designs meet IPC-2221/2223. Support all typical design platforms and use advanced modeling.
PCB Mounting Hardware
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.
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.
PowerSafe
PowerSafe MIL-DTL-38999 Series III is developed to transfer high power (1000 V) in harsh environments, with full safety for the user.
PowerSafe as per VG96944
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.
Pre-Tinned (De-Golded) Capabilities
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.
