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.
C.A.P. Series
The C.A.P. Series consists of a family of connectors that provide users easy access to standard communication and power ports, but in a ruggedized format that is easily integrated into aerospace or other demanding environments. The spring-loaded, 360-degree cover provides quick access to the front side/user port.
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.
CC5516 Series Clamps
Lightweight alternative to metallic cable clamps, Amphenol Air LB France's CC5516 series is a line of composite and silicone clamps offering significant weight saving and safety over time. Designed to keep the cable harnesses or hydraulic pipes securely maintained on a structure, they are easy to install, robust and flexible.
Ceramic Injection Molding
Amphenol's CIM process uses ceramic zirconium to provide a scratch and wear-resistant surface to components such as mobile phone camera decoration and side keys. The CIM material provides additional durability and strength to your products. We have applied our Metal Injection Molding (MIM) experience of large volume runs to CIM to create a hi-tech material process.
CNC Machining
State-of-the-art machine with abilities to machine, coat, inspect, and assemble mechanical solutions for our internal and external customers. Our capabilities include Six 4-Axis Mazak machines, 5-Axis Mazak Integrex, water-jet, and press brake, CMM, vacuum fixturing for thin-walled heat-sinks.
Coaxial Contacts
Reliable interconnection and continued performance in size 8, 12, & 16 crimp termination style. Available for use in MIL DTL 38999 Series I, II, and III Connectors. Also available in PC Tail.
Coaxial Fixed Attenuators
Amphenol RF attenuators are designed to offer flat attenuation over the designated frequency range and feature a microwave grade resistor that consistently reduces power. Hex flats on the body allow this attenuator to be easily torqued to the mating connector.
Coaxial Terminators and Loads
Amphenol RF terminators are available in many common series and genders including; 1.0/2.3, APC-3.5, APC-5.5, BNC, F-type, HD-BNC, N-Type, QMA, and SMA. Amphenol RF terminators reliably prevent RF signals from being reflected along the transmission line to reduce interference.
Compact Universal Enclosures
Compact Universal Enclosures were designed around the principle of “flexibility.” These versatile enclosures may be wall, pole, strand or pedestal-mounted and configured to meet a variety of fiber, copper, or coaxial distribution applications. With a universal backplane and interchangeable feed and drop cable port plates, they are especially efficient at meeting FTTX deployment challenges.
Composite Mounting Platforms (CPAD)
Composite Pads (CPAD) are economical alternatives for poured in place and pre-cast concrete pads used to mount cabinets, generators, electric vehicle chargers, and other outdoor enclosures. They provide a flat, stable mounting surface and below-grade slack storage. One-piece and modular bay designs are available. Advanced composite material construction is both lightweight and rugged.
Composite Self-Closing Caps
For PT/451 Series, RJ/USB Field & Amphenol Sine RT360.
Concentric Twinax Contacts
The size 8, 10, and 12 concentric twinax contacts were developed for applications that require high-performance interconnect characteristics in multi-pin connectors. Ideal for this application need is the high-performance D38999 Series III connector with its fully scoop-proof feature of recessed pins. The concentric Twinax contact is crimp terminable to twisted shielded cable.
Conduits
High-performance Conduits are intended to be supported by Amphenol Pcd P-Clamps. Conduits provide support for wire bundles where separation or protection from other systems or structures is necessary. Conduits can be installed anywhere in the aircraft, including the wings. Although Amphenol Pcd Conduits are available in various standard configurations and sizes, we offer custom products as well.
Control Panels
Control panels for construction machines, yachts, and boats include pushbuttons and switches (for example from Carlingswitch), control indicators, and displays with application software. Control panels made out of ABS, PMMA, metal class A2 and A4. Possible protection rate up to IP65-67. Manufactured according to customer specification and design.
Copper Buried Distribution Pedestals
Pedlock BD Series Pedestals provide the flexibility, durability, and reliability to be the all-purpose copper splice closure. Non-metallic PVC construction won't rust, fade, chip or bend, and is fire and chemical resistant. A one-piece dome locks to the base creating an air pocket that keeps internal cable dry even in flood conditions. Several diameters and options are available.
CRN Brackets
CRN Bracket is custom-made to hold the “Current Return Network” in place inside a composite aircraft. Very easy to install with a bolt, the CRN system is fixed in place by hand with an integrated snap system on the bracket. The bracket is made of PEEK material and silicone is over-molded onto the bracket.
