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.
Agnostic Media Converters
Media conversion products that work across a variety of protocols.
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.
ARINC 600
ARINC 600 Connectors are a recognized standard rack and panel connector for Aircraft applications. The ARINC 600 is the successor to the ARINC 404 for many of the new avionic designs. Compared to the ARINC 404, the ARINC 600 features lower mating force contacts, increased contact count, and a front release, floating keying system. Can be filtered.
ARINC 801 Fiber Optic 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.
Armored RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave offers a range of armored RF cable assemblies designed to excel in challenging conditions, especially in applications like ground vehicle communications systems. Cable assemblies are available in both fully and partially armored configurations, these can deliver outstanding resistance to corrosion and crushing.
ASNE Relay Sockets
Adaptation device between a Relay and a Cable harness, these Amphenol Air LB France's ASNE relay sockets are widely used by European aircraft manufacturers. They offer sealing and polarization provided by specific contact configurations or polarized mounting devices. Available 8, 14 or 16 contacts size 20 / 16 (ASNE crimp contacts)
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.
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.
CapLock & PlugLock
Amphenol SOCAPEX has launched a series of locking accessories for 38999, RJFTV and USBFTV connectors and caps. These locking accessories
for connectors that help strengthen cybersecurity.
The series includes CapLock, PlugLock and Metal CapLock. These locks prevent manual unlocking of receptacles thereby ensuring additional security.
CC1339 Light Clamps
Amphenol Air LB France's CC1339 Light clamps provide routing, support, and fixing for cable harnesses of various diameters (5 to 48 mm). Robust and flexible, they absorb shocks, vibrations and offer unequaled protection of bundles against pinching, crushing, or mechanical wear. Derived from legacy ABS1339 standard clamps, they offer up to 18% more weight savings.
CC5516 Light Clamps
Improved version of the CC5516 standard series, these Amphenol Air LB France's lightweight versions offer additional weight saving (up to 24% more!). Designed to keep the cable harnesses or hydraulic pipes securely maintained on a structure, they are easy-to-install, robust, flexible, and provide safety over time vs. metallic clamps. Stacking mount possible.
CC5516 Series
CC5516 series is a new line of lightweight Cable Clamps, in composite and silicone, derived from the legacy NSA5516 metallic clamps. They are designed to keep cable harnesses or hydraulic pipes securely maintained on a structure. They are closed and fixed on the structure by screw (not supplied), in one simple operation.
