Amphenol’s New Connector Meets Updated Base Station Requirements
Amphenol Industrial has launched Amphe-BTS , a new power connector designed to provide power from a wireless, mast-mounted base station to a remote radio head. This compact, energy-efficient connector meets the stringent requirements demanded by the next generation of base stations.
Field-installable power connector simplifies installation
The reliable, field-installable connector is ideal for use by base station manufacturers, telephone operator technicians, AC/DC power supply manufacturers and related installers and eliminates the need to ship heavy cable assemblies all around the world.
The Amphe-BTS provides 360° EMI shielding with grounding fingers and utilises a bayonet locking mechanism that guarantees strong vibration and shock resistance. The connectors are lightning resistant due to their excellent conductivity. The receptacle has crimp contacts and the plug has screw termination contacts for easy field installation and replacement.
This circular connector, based on MIL-C-26482 series 2, features a brass shell construction with tin over nickel plating, making it corrosion resistant and compliant with ISO 21207. It is IP65 rated and UL and TUV certified, has a cable sealing range of 7 mm to 18 mm, a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C and is available in a standard two-way 48 VDC, a two-way reverse gender 48 VDC and a three-way 400 VDC/250 VAC power configuration.
