127/HE801-HE804-HE807
The 127/HE8 series is a medium-density range of multi-contact plug-in connectors for PCB. This range of 2.54 staggered grid, low profile connectors offers the widest range of hardware, guides, and contact terminations, providing more flexibility to PCB designers.
2M Caps
A large selection of protective caps for 2M plugs and receptacles.
2M Micro38999 Connectors
Designed for applications that demand size and weight savings without sacrificing the electrical and mechanical performance of a standard MIL-DTL-38999. 70% Lighter and 50% Smaller than Similar MIL-DTL-38999 Connectors. Fully Intermateable, Intermountable, and Interchangeable with Mighty Mouse.
387TV Series
Size 7 connectors dedicated to size 8 high-speed contacts (Coax, Twinax, Quadrax, 1Gb Octomax, 10Gb Octomax coming soon) and fiber optic.
38999 Integral Accessories
D38999 Series III style connectors featuring an integral banding platform or integral strain relief eliminate the need for an additional backshell accessory. The banding platform incorporated into the rear of the connector shell allows the user to attach the shield of their cable directly to the connector, providing superior EMI shielding, enhanced sealing, and ease for overmold applications.
75P Clamp
75P Clamp was designed as a one-for-one replacement to outperform industry-standard metal clamps (i.e. AS21919). Featuring benefits such as a locking feature, butterfly stacking, weight savings, durable PEEK polymer band material, and multiple cushion material options that are non-conductive and non-corrosive, a versatile solution for anyone looking to reduce weight and installation time.
86P Clamp
86P Clamp was developed as a one-for-one replacement to outperform industry-standard metal clamps (i.e. AS21919). Featuring key value-add design elements, including separate locking and mounting locations, a bottom hinge for easy wire bundle installation, and a non-conductive, non-corrosive, PEEK polymer construction, a versatile solution for anyone looking to reduce weight and installation time.
Adapter / Saver
D-Sub Gender Changers and Adapters offer a simple solution to change the functionality of your existing connector. A D-Sub Connector Saver can add longevity and durability to your system. Both are optimal to use in the prototype phase of your project.
Adhesive Snap 'N Post
Designed as a 1-for-1 replacement to BACS31H / NMC RP1703/1704 ring posts. Wire installation time reduced from ~30sec to less than 5sec. Weight-neutral compared to BACS31H/RP1703/RP1704. Can stack in two 90° orientations. Arced rings allow for tie straps to cover remaining ±45° orientations.
Adhesive Standoff
Material options of PEEK 150GL30, or GF Ultem. Adhesion: Accommodates VHB Tape and wet processes. Can be crossed to Boeing’s BACS21DZ & Click Bond’s CB4002. Uses 1032 insert making it compatible with APH Clamps, metric option also available.
Adhesive Tie Mounts
Material: GF Ultem, GF PEEK & GF Nylon. Adhesion: Accommodates VHB Tape and wet processes. Click Bond Me-Too alternative crossing to CB9302 & CB9120. Can be used with any standard MS3367 or equivalent tie-down strap.
Alternate to Cadmium Platings
Multiple options for alternate-to-cadmium platings, including Durmalon, Black Zinc Nickel, and the new AP-93 1000-hour salt spray approved plating. Amphenol uses the RoHS requirements and the latest revisions to the MIL-DTL-38999 specification to develop these platings.
AP-93 Plating
AP-93 is a conductive REACH/RoHS compliant finish that outperforms Cadmium. AP-93 exceeds Olive-Drab Cadmium plating by meeting 1000 hours of dynamic salt spray, 500 mating cycles, and meets the millivolt drop shell-to-shell conductivity of nickel (Class F). AP-93 meets a 200° C temperature rating, is compatible with other platings, and is available on all D38999-style Series III connectors.
ARINC 404
Amphenol's "AR" Series, ARINC rack and panel connectors, are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-C-81659 and ARINC Specification 404. The "AR" Series is a multi-purpose connector used in aerospace, military, and computer periphery
applications. It can accommodate signal and power contacts in sizes 12, 16, 20, and 22. Coaxial contacts are available in sizes 5 and 9.
Backshells as per VG95319-1011
Backshell as per VG95319 as adapter with strain reliever shells for D38999 series 3. This forms a connection to a plug or a socket. This serves to seal or for continuing shielding. The backshells are available in various versions, straight or bent as tape adapters, individual cone adapters or mold adapters.
Black Chrome Connectors
SV Microwave's newest line of cable connectors and accompanying dust cap maintains the same rugged and durable style as our standard SMAs, but is finished in black chrome to ensure a completely non-reflective finish. Available for .085 cable, this product line is ideal for military applications and provides excellent RF performance from DC to 18 GHz.
Board-to-Board RF Connectors
Amphenol RF offers a variety of board-to-board solutions engineered to maximize radial and axial float, eliminating the need for cables between the boards and simplifying designs to eliminate assembly errors.
Cable and Wire Harnesses
Amphenol Borisch Technologies has a long history of manufacturing complex cable and wire harnesses for a broad range of harsh environment defense and aerospace applications. Our capabilities include over-molding, custom backshells, unique cable transitions, braiding for EMI/RFI and mechanical abrasion production, rapid prototyping, live-layup, test, X-ray, and custom fixtures.
Cable Separators
Cable Separators are used to help separate cable harnesses from one another, aiding in organizing cable routing throughout the aircraft. Available in either Nylon or PEEK, they maintain clearance between two parallel or crossing cable harnesses preventing wire abrasion. Nine different versions are available and they are qualified to Airbus standard ABS1144.
Cable Supports
Cable Supports are made to affix on an aircraft’s airframe, helping to secure and manage cable harnesses as they run throughout the aircraft body. They are offered in nylon and are designed for use in airframe, fuel tank, and engine applications. Available in various standard configurations and sizes, Amphenol Pcd also offers customized products to help meet specific customer requirements.
