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.

RF Connectors (Radio Frequency Connectors)
Amphenol LTW's RF connector (radio frequency connector) is an electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. RF connectors are typically used with coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial design offers. Available in SMA, N-Type, with various termination choices.
RF Jumper and Socket
Amphenol’s RF Jumper and Socket covers 1st through 5th generations. The 4th generation RF jumper cable is compatible with lpex spec using a soldering connection instead of crimping between RF connector and the jumper cable creating a more secure joint for better high-frequency performance. The 5th generation version is Hirose compatible and has a 1.0 mm mating height with 0.81 mm diameter cable.
RFM
Blind mate modular floating rack connector. NF F 61-032 qualified product.
RF Microswitches
RF Switches are typically used as test access points or for external antenna applications. The switch is activated by manually mating a connector to change the RF path. RF switches come in several different interfaces, with MMCX and MCX being the most popular.
RF Microwave Harnesses
We support the full spectrum of harness interfaces including
1. MIL-SPEC circular and rectangular connectors
2. D38999
3. ARINC
4. LRM
RFM Power
Blind mate modular floating rack with high voltage contacts.
RFM Quadrax
Blind mate modular floating rack connector with Quadrax contacts for high-speed applications.
RFM Series
Amphenol Socapex offers RFM Series, Rack & Panel connectors, featuring blind mate and modular floating. RFM connectors are compliant with EN45545 & NF F 61-032 standards. RFM connectors have been used for many years by OEMs for harsh environments and in railway applications for security systems. The robustness and realignment capability of RFM connectors deliver also durability and reliability.
RF Switches
Amphenol’s full range of RF switches come in straight and right-angle mountings as well as miniature, low-profile, and lightweight versions for different phone design requirements. Our full mechanical switches provide high reliability for wireless terminal testing and connection to external car antennas of up to 5Ghz.
Rhino
RHINO combines the benefits of field-proven MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connectors with low resistance hyperbolic RADSOK® power contacts. RHINO is designed to meet the latest military and industrial specifications and is intended to satisfy market requirements for high power & voltage applications in harsh environment conditions.
