Coaxial Terminators and Loads
Amphenol RF terminators are available in many common series and genders including; 1.0/2.3, APC-3.5, APC-5.5, BNC, F-type, HD-BNC, N-Type, QMA, and SMA. Amphenol RF terminators reliably prevent RF signals from being reflected along the transmission line to reduce interference.
Composite Self-Closing Caps
For PT/451 Series, RJ/USB Field & Amphenol Sine RT360.
μCom USB3.0
Miniature multi-pin USB3.0 connectors for harsh environments.
Concentric Twinax Contacts
The size 8, 10, and 12 concentric twinax contacts were developed for applications that require high-performance interconnect characteristics in multi-pin connectors. Ideal for this application need is the high-performance D38999 Series III connector with its fully scoop-proof feature of recessed pins. The concentric Twinax contact is crimp terminable to twisted shielded cable.
Conformable RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave's conformable RF cable assemblies can be easily formed by hand. The braided outer shield of the standard flexible cable is replaced with a tin-plated outer braid that is durable but flexible. Conformable or hand-formable cable assemblies are ideal when the cable bends must be determined during the installation of the assembly.
Control Panels
Control panels for construction machines, yachts, and boats include pushbuttons and switches (for example from Carlingswitch), control indicators, and displays with application software. Control panels made out of ABS, PMMA, metal class A2 and A4. Possible protection rate up to IP65-67. Manufactured according to customer specification and design.
CTOL
CTOL series are robust optical connectors for the rapid deployment of high-speed transmission links under harsh environments. The hermaphroditic mating makes it possible to “daisy chain” cable assemblies without using any interconnect adapters. The specific lens design guarantees a large beam diameter and a low loss connection, less sensitivity to dirt and dust.

CTOS
CTOS is an expanded beam fiber optic connector available in singlemode and multimode. Designed for gloved handling and blind mating in the most extreme conditions, features include up to 4 channels, a hermaphroditic design, a protective window with contactless transmission, and qualification in accordance with NATO/STANAG4290 norms.
CTOS - Expanded Beam FO Connector
Amphenol SOCAPEX CTOS is an expanded beam fiber optic connector available in singlemode and multimode. Designed for gloved handling and blind mating in the most extreme conditions, its features include up to 4 channels, a hermaphroditic design, a protective window with contactless transmission, and qualification in accordance with NATO/STANAG4290 norms.
Custom Molded Cables for Harsh Environments
Amphenol offers high-performance injection-molded cable assemblies (PVC, TPU, LSZH, and Polyurethane). Amphenol performs potting and encapsulation with MIL-M 24041 epoxies. Our mold library supports most Amphenol and Mil-Spec connectors. With vast adhesion studies made on new plating materials, superior over-molding is achieved.
D38999 Connectors with Coaxial, Concentric Twinax, and Triax Contacts
MIL-DTL-38999 connectors are ideally suited for shielded contacts for high-performance, high-speed interconnection applications. Insert arrangements can incorporate: coax (sizes 8, 12, and 16); twinax (sizes 8 and 12); and triax contacts (sizes 8, 10, and 12).
D38999 Pin and Socket Contacts
SV Microwave has released a line of D38999 pin and socket contacts that are aligned to the latest specification set forth by SOSA™. These coaxial contacts fit both standard and series III housing and are offered in BMB size 8 and SMPM size 12. These contacts are ideal in an embedded system that transitions from the chassis to an out-of-the-box application.
D38999 Power
For high power transmissions.
Data Concentrator Media Converters
Media conversion products that concentrate data and simplify system cabling and architectures.
Differential Twinax Contacts
Used to facilitate the launching of controlled impedance signals to printed circuit boards. Two strategically spaced inner contacts form two 100 or 150 Ohm matched impedance differential pairs. Requires modification of MIL-DTL-38999 connector to accommodate keyed contacts. Available in size 8 crimp termination style. Also available in size 8 with PC tails.
Digital Video Interface Media Converters
Proven line of Digital Video Interface media converters that can be used in harsh environment avionics, ground systems, or naval applications that need to transmit and receive such encoded interfaces over fiber optic cables.
DL Series
DL Series are highly reliable circular connectors (wire soldering type) approved by TUV satisfying European safety standards and UL standards. They feature IP67 class water and dustproof, when mated, and a protective earth circuit with first mate break grounding contacts. They are ideal for use in machine tools, robots, and other industrial machines.
D-Sub Accessories
In addition to a wide variety of D-Sub connectors, we offer a large assortment of Backshells, Locking Systems and Mounting Hardware. We also offer blind mate options, EMI covers, Sealing Options, and custom options to fit many different application requirements.
Dualok High-Vibration
Dualok is an enhanced anti-decoupling mechanism designed to perform under severe vibration environments. The Dualok system is proven to mitigate the negative effects of high vibration operation by eliminating connector back-off and reducing conditions that can cause fretting corrosion. Dualok is compatible with D38999 Series III receptacles and is qualified to Boeing BACC63EK.
