Pyle 26500 Hermetic Connectors
Amphenol/Pyle Commercial 26500 Connectors are qualified to Military Specification MIL-DTL-26500, as well as numerous high-performance customer specifications. Available in Stainless Steel receptacle, with bayonet or threaded coupling. Amphenol/Pyle is an experienced supplier of highly reliable hermetic connectors for the aircraft industry and our ZZL and ZZB series of hermetics.
QMA Connector Series
The QMA connector is a quick disconnect version of the SMA connector and shares the same internal construction, which allows the connector to have excellent performance up to 6 GHz.
QN Connectors
Amphenol RF’s QN connector is a quick disconnect version of the N-Type connector with similar internal construction, which enables fast and easy matings with minimum space requirements.
Quick Mount Relay Sockets
Quick Mount Relay Sockets snap mount into standard aircraft panel cutouts and eliminate all socket-to-bulkhead mounting hardware. Simplifying installation, reducing weight, and installation cost. Sockets meet the applicable performance and dimensional requirements of M12883 and are compatible with Mil-Spec approved relays from any manufacture.
R38 Series
These connectors are combinations of D-subminiature or Micro-D with RF contacts. Available in standard contacts, integrated, and reverse-gender integrated for lower-cost solutions. Have provided coax, triax, quadrax solutions for space, military, and commercial applications.
RADSOK®
RADSOK® technology is based upon a stamped and formed flat grid, uniquely twisted into a hyperbolic geometry to provide robust, high-density contact to the mating pin contact. This provides the high normal forces required for conductivity and provides a large conductive surface area. Correspondingly low voltage drop and low-temperature rise are also achieved while maintaining low insertion forces
Rectangular Backshells
Amphenol Canada can provide backshells for all our standard and custom products. From Arinc style to Micro-D. A wide variety of exit ports are available from EMI to cable clamp as well as different plating and mounting options.
Reduced Flange Jam Nut Receptacles
The MIL-DTL-38999 Series III jam-nut style connector features a reduced flange design that saves space, weight, and reduces your footprint when used in PCB applications. More connectors are able to be fit on a box or board due to the reduced flange having a smaller diameter than a standard jam nut receptacle. 30% lighter than standard 38999/24 (w/o stand-offs).
Relay Sockets
Adaptation device between a Relay and a Cable harness, our relay sockets are widely used by European aircraft manufacturers.
