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.

SSL Solution Connectors (Smart Solution in Lighting)
Amphenol LTW's SSL (Smart Solution in Lighting) series is a waterproof and non-waterproof connector series developed for LED lighting and non-lighting applications. Its low profile design aims at minimizing and eliminating the field wiring and reducing labor time as well as facilitating any maintenance job.
SSMA Connector Series
The SSMA product series is characterized by compactness, high-frequency bandwidth, and highly reliable mechanical performance.
SSMB Connectors
The SSMB 50 Ohm connector is a small version of the standard SMB connector. Amphenol RF's SSMB series provides excellent electrical performance in a micro-miniature footprint.
SSMC Connectors
SSMC connectors are ideal for limited-space applications that require the security of a threaded coupling mechanism. They are best used with semi-rigid cables or miniature flexible cables in demanding applications up to 12.4 GHz.
Standard Density D-Sub
Positronic offers a variety of standard and high-density D-subs, as well as accessories and ComboD-sub connectors. Highly reliable with precision-machined contacts, our connectors meet various industrial and military performance levels for applications from basic power supplies to advanced weapon systems and flight. Explore our design features including package size, contact, and mating variants.
Starline - Starline Ex
The Star-Line EX® series is certified for use in a Zone 1/2/21/22 hazardous environment. Classified facilities such as petrochemical refineries and land/offshore drilling systems are but a few of the applications for this broad product series. The Star-Line EX® is certified to the latest IECEx, ATEX, UL FM, EN 60079 standards, as well as the current EAC/GOST standards.

Startop
Startop product range offers the most comprehensive range of ruggedized optical connectors based on MIL DTL 38 999 Series and its derivatives. Startop offers the intermateability with other MIL 29504.
Stingray
Stingray 7 series offers compact, low profile, metal shelled connectors that withstand exposure to moisture, dust, dirt, and chemicals typically encountered by First Responders, Security, and Military personnel. The magnetic, non-keyed coupling system has no moving parts and allows the connector to be easily mated without the need for pre-alignment.
Strain Relief Boots
Our Strain Relief Boots provide protection and reinforcement for rugged applications.
Structure Plus™ Family
Amphenol Sine Systems’ StructurePlus™ Family of overmold-compatible connectors are engineered, one-piece, solid body connectors that are specifically designed for cable assembly operations requiring custom molding or shrink tube requirements. The added connector structure results in enhanced connection integrity that is an essential component for connecting cable in harsh environments.
Submariner
The Submariner 5500-Series are underwater electrical connectors extremely rugged and reliable. This Dry-mate solution is available in 3 different shell sizes and a variety of configurations with wire gauges ranging from 10-16 AWG.
Depth: > 6,000 meters (600 bar)
Operating Temperature: -5˚C to 65˚C
Max Operating Voltage: 600V
Machine-molded Neoprene insulation material
Made from 316 SS
SurLok Plus™
This series, a field installable compression lug utilizing RADSOK® socket contact technology, ruggedized harsh environment, thermoplastic housing, metal lug, press-fit high power connector. With a single pole arrangement ranging from 3.6mm to 14mm and up to 500 amps possible with a standard operating temperature from -40°C to +105°C.
SV Microwave's Glass Seal Capability
SV Microwave's manufacturing teams are able to support the production of glass-seal PCB connectors through either COTS (Custom Off The Shelf) products or through customized orders. Our flexible and agile team can support both high and low volume orders.
TACBEAM
Amphenol introduces the TACBeam Series into the harsh environment product portfolio. This legacy hermaphroditic fiber optic lens connector, facilitates the inter-connection of multiple identical fiber optic cable assemblies known as daisy chaining, thus eliminating the need for polarising the assemblies and the use of in-line adapters.
TacBeam as per VG95319-100; -101
TacBeam is a hermaphroditic lens connector, insensitive to dust and dirt. This connector is qualified as per MIL-DTL-83526/20 and 21. In addition, it is approved as per VG95319-100; -101, and is thus suitable for outdoor applications. A marine bronze version is also available (according to VG95319-102).
TACBeam® – MIL-DTL-83526
AFSI offers a MIL-DTL-83526/20 & /21 qualified expanded beam rugged fiber optic connector for military and industrial applications. Since the lenses do not physically contact, there is no wear on the termini, which allows the connector to be mated and demated thousands of times without affecting optical performance.
TAC Connectors
TAC Connectors are designed and manufactured to the exacting specifications of MIL-DTL-55116 requirements at half the size of the standard connectors. They are the ideal choice to reduce size and weight and still maintain many of the same performance benefits wherever an M55116 connector is needed on a newly designed system.
Telephone Plugs and Jacks
Manufacturer and supplier of airborne audio connectors, see MIL-DTL-9177. Our special ruggedized design has been the industry standard on military and commercial helmets and headsets for many years. We offer a number of connector options for different mounting styles, switch functions, and soldier attachments.
