Amphe-Ex
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.
Amphe-Power
This series, based on SAE AS50151 and AS95234 utilizing RADSOK® socket contact technology, is ruggedized for harsh environments, high power connectors with metal threaded, reverse bayonet, or push/pull coupling. With over 90 insert arrangements ranging from 1 to 59 contacts per connector and up to 1000 amps possible with a standard operating temperature from -55°C to +125°C.
AmpheSEAL High Pressure
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.
AN/PRC 117G & 152 Military Radio Data Cables and Connectors
Amphenol Tactical Communication (ATC) connectors and cable assemblies are designed to interface with the AN/PRC-117G and AN/PRC-152 military radio 32 pin data connector. The ATC connectors are designed to be used in harsh environment applications and feature a rugged, watertight two (2) piece metal shell design. Enhanced EMI-shielding capabilities ensure superior performance.
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.
Aquacon Connectors
Designed to provide maximum service in oceanic or fluid immersion applications. A specially designed aluminum bronze coupling nut and type 316 stainless steel shells resist corrosion and provide a pressure withstanding connector. Positive threaded coupling. “O” rings, and a color band visual indicator assures sealing and proper mating. A rear accessory thread provides for the use of EMI hardware.
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.
