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).
A range of transformer couplers, connectors, terminators, and assemblies compliant with MIL-STD-1553B and qualified for use on Typhoon aircraft. Connectors feature #10 Twinax contacts and are available in simplex and multi-contact versions. Both simplex and duplex in-line Couplers are available as well as connectorised versions with up to 10 transformers.
SV Microwave continues to expand its 75 Ω RF product offering with a new set of SMPM VITA 67.3 Backplane and Plug-In Contacts. The newest revision to the VITA 67.3 spec includes 75 Ω coaxial interfaces to support higher-speed video, which will become increasingly prevalent in embedded systems applications, particularly within the SpaceVPX architecture.
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.
Dedicated interface between backplanes and boards capable of providing dual redundant power, system management and high voltage auxiliary circuits to each slot within the platform. The connector’s outstanding blind mating capability can be used to align the board during insertion.
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.
Miniature, explosion-proof connector specifically designed to allow a signal to pass through Zone rated areas using copper contacts, coax, or fiber optics. The new Amphe-EX™ is complimentary to Amphenol’s industry-proven Star-Line EX™ enabling it to work with smaller wires.
The AmpheSEAL connectors provide sealing between the plug and receptacle interfaces and have been tested to withstand pressure to at least 300 PSI. Not intermateable with standard products. Must use AmpheSEAL on both sides of the mated pair.
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.
Amphenol offers a multi-channel circular connector that complies with the ARINC specification. This connector, available in straight plug and wall mount receptacle, uses the ARINC 801 ceramic termini.
