Connectors
Amphenol has been designing and manufacturing electrical and electronic connectors since the company’s inception in 1932. For nearly a century, we’ve been helping customers transmit power, data and signal in the harshest environments, from subsea applications to the outer reaches of space and everywhere in between. Our wide array of electrical and electronic connectors come in multiple form factors and are designed to meet the latest market needs including high power, high speeds, size and weight reduction, EMI shielding, hermeticity, high pressure and improved board retention. Amphenol also offers a broad portfolio of contact styles, termination types, mating styles, connector geometries and environmentally-friendly RoHS plating.

Cool Edge 1.00mm PCIe Connectors
Cool Edge PCIe® connectors bring high-speed PCIe® support into a one-piece card edge package with 16GT/s Gen 4 and 32GT/s Gen 5 capabilities. Slim connector design saves space on the motherboard while facilitating other higher-density applications. These connectors come with a simple housing design with an overall reduced footprint, providing additional benefits over standard PCIe® CEM solutions.
CoolPower® SDM Connectors
CoolPower® Slim Drawer Mini (SDM) Connectors offer a high level of mating configuration flexibility, current density, and a thin profile making it ideal for compact board-to-board power interconnects. The CoolPower® SDM series is available with two or four power lines and boasts up to 318A per linear inch in a footprint of only 5.6mm x 14mm.

CoolPower® Slim Drawer
Amphenol's CoolPower® Slim Drawer Series is configurable to accommodate various combinations of power and signal contacts and a number of mounting and termination options. CoolPower® Slim Drawer can deliver up to 60A per pin and provides an ultra-low end-of-life contact resistance of just 0.4mΩ. Additional features include blind-mating, sequential mating, and true hotplug capabilities.

Cool Stack 0.80mm Hybrid Power & Signal Connectors
Cool Stack Hybrid Power and Signal connectors provide one-piece high speed and high power solutions while addressing multiple networking standards like PCIe, and SAS/SATA. It offers a maximum current rating of 16A per power pin, which aids in supporting applications with medium power requirements.
Crossbow™
Crossbow allows designers to take advantage of all the benefits associated with orthogonal mid-plane architectures as the differential pairs on each side of the mid-plane share vias creating a straight pass-through connection. This shared via approach combined with the Crossbow footprint, eliminates most electrical problems associated with the typical backplane via stub.
Cross-Mate™ 2.00mm Wire-to-Board Connector System
FCI Basics Cross-Mate™ series is a 2.00mm pitch wire-to-board system that offers a compact design and active latching for applications requiring good mating retention. The Terminal-Position-Assurance (TPA) guarantee that the contact is properly mounted into the cable housing eliminating functional problem due to wrong connector assembly.
Cryo-Seal Hermetic Connector Series
The Cryo-Seal Hermetic connector series is designed for extreme low-temperature environments. They are built to retain contact-to-contact sealing in temperatures as low as -319 °F (-195° C).
Temperatures falling below -85 °F (-65 °C) typically leaves one at risk of losing the pin-to-pin environmental seal and/or having cracked elastomeric components leading to electrical shorting.
cStack™
The Amphenol ICC cStack™ high-speed solder-less interconnect solution provides limitless flexibility for board-to-board mezzanine applications and board-to-board stackable and coplanar applications when terminated to a flex circuit.
