Gray ZnNi plating increases harsh environment resistance
Designed for harsh environments, Amphenol Industrial Products Group's standard shell plating has been enhanced from standard cadmium to Gray ZnNi (gray zinc over electroless nickel). This plating was initially designed for use in marine application but is now used in military and industrial applications or where RoHS-compliant plating is required.
PSMP enables maximum flexibility for high-density board spacing
Amphenol RF is pleased to introduce its PSMP interface as a suitable solution for board-to-board applications. With a minimum board spacing of 12.6mm, the compact three-piece design allows maximum flexibility for high-density board spacing and is suited for blind-mating situations.
Stainless steel connectors feature anti-torque bodies
Expanding the company's SMA product family, Amphenol RF has introduced anti-torque stainless steel connectors and cable assemblies with anti-torque bodies. This allows the user to hold the body with one wrench while simultaneously torqueing down the coupling nut to its mating connector with another. This helps to keep the entire assembly from twisting, thereby preventing damage to both the cable and the connector during installation.
System incorporates power & signal contacts into one connector
Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers a connection system that incorporates both power and signal contacts in one connector. Amphe-RXS uses Amphenol's RADSOK terminals as power contacts and either standard or high vibration (AHVB) signal terminals to produce an all-inclusive connector.
Connectors optimised for use with low loss cables
Amphenol RF is pleased to introduce the improved SMA and N-Type coaxial connectors that have been optimised for low loss cables. Low loss cables incorporate additional shielding in the form of a bonded foil conductor, which helps to improve grounding. Low loss cables and the newly optimized connectors are matched to 50Ω impedance, allowing for maximum and reliable signal transfer.
Primary circuit power connector enables quick disconnect
Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers RoboLok, a three position, high current, primary circuit power connector. This connector features three fixed, proprietary RADSOK contacts on each connector, offering a wide range of cable contact configurations. Suitable for use by industrial robotic manufacturers, RoboLok uses RADSOK contacts to deliver an ample operating temperature rise and a current capacity up to 200A continuous on a 50mm² ...
Optimised base transceiver station connector qualified to 26A
Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers an outdoor connector designed for use in harsh environments. This Optimised Base Transceiver Station (OBTS) connector helps meet the need of remote wireless radio power delivery. Amphenol has reduced the weight of this field-installable connector by 30% and added improved PIM performance.
Rugged metal circular connectors offer seven shell sizes
Industrial@Amphenol now offers a series of compact, adaptable and rugged metal circular connectors available in seven shell sizes and 25 insert arrangements with a variety of wire gauge options. The new ecomate rmquick locking, bayonet coupling connector system offers a wide variety of insert configurations as well as high amperage versions for single pole, high power arrangements featuring RADSOK technology.
Plastic connectors for HEVs offer continuous power to 400A
Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers a plastic power connector series designed to be used in the HEV market. Amphenol's compact Universal Power Connectors (UPC) are available in two sizes and offer continuous power with 200 or 400A.
PCB power connector delivers up to 200A
Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers a compact, high current PCB power connector that enables power delivery of 35 to 200A. Amphenol's SMT Radsert offers a flexible design that can accommodate any dimensional constraint and stack height. Suitable for use in energy storage systems by power supply manufacturers and data center equipment manufacturers, these board-level connectors feature a small footprint, presenting unlimited PCB layout c...
Industrial power connectors are P44 & IP67 rated
Designed for use in harsh industrial, commercial and data centre applications, the Amphe-309 series of industrial power connectors have been introduced by Amphenol Industrial Products Group. The P44 and IP67 rated devices provide safe and reliable portable electrical connections for the most extreme environments.
High vibration brush terminals offer zero fretting
Designed to withstand harsh environments, a revolutionary high vibration brush terminal series has been introduced by Amphenol Industrial Products Group. The brush-like terminal technology is comprised of multiple strands of high tensile strength wire bundled together on each side of the contact and hooded for protection.
Cable assemblies allow non-IP67 cables to be mounted to panels
Amphenol RF is pleased to introduce improved designs of the company's existing AMC to SMA cable assemblies. Design improvements were made to the SMA bulkhead mounting connectors allowing the non-IP67 cables to be mounted to panels with a maximum thickness of 3.2mm. Cables with IP67 connectors are suitable for panels with a maximum thickness of 3.2mm. Both standard polarity and reverse polarity options are available.
High current cabling system targets energy storage
Optimised for battery pack connections rated from 50 to 400A using a touch-safe interface, Amphenol has released a high current cabling system designed to meet the needs of energy storage for commercial and residential battery storage systems, as well as EVs and HEVs.
A greater combination of functions in a single connector
Featuring six-terminal inputs for a greater combination of functions in a single connector, Amphenol Industrial Products Group the Tru-Loc signal splitter. Reducing the number of connectors needed in an application, the splitter receives power and signal from one cable and splits it into two equal, yet separate, sets of power and signal as output. This saves money and space while enabling additional functionality.
Cable assemblies feature true 75Ω performance
Amphenol RF has introduced over 200 pre-configured cable assembly configurations to the broadcast market. The components feature true 75Ω performance to ensure low signal distortion and flawless broadcast transmission.
