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.
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.
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)
Audio Connectors
Amphenol 164 series connectors are water-resistant, polarized, five and six contact electrical connectors for use in low voltage audio frequency circuits and applications. They employ three-point bayonet coupling for quick disconnect and self-wipe contact. Connector meets the requirement of MIL & Qualified to MIL-DTL-55116 standard.
AXOS
The Amphenol AXOS fiber optic expanded beam is a miniature, hermaphroditic, and cost-effective alternative to other expanded beam connectors, offering a robust and protected optical connection in a small size (OD 27 mm).
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.
