Direct current or single/three phase, 60/400 Hertz alternating current
Automatic grounding for safety
MIL-C-22992 qualification
QWLD- for most power and control circuits
Military (MIL-C-22992) qualified connectors and industrial equivalents available
Increased shell size for greater durability than similar standard connectors
QWL- a more compact heavy-duty design for industrial power and control applications
These three series share the following common characteristics, which are critical to reliable heavy-duty connectors:
Resistance to the operating environment
Double stub coupling threads for faster connections; no cross threading, easy cleaning
Left hand accessory threads to minimize cable twisting, wire breakage, accidental connector disassembly
Gaskets or O-rings at appropriate surfaces for perfect weather tight connections
OVERVIEW
Amphenol meets the demands for heavy-duty connectors by providing three cylindrical connector series, each with unique design characteristics for reliable operation in specific industrial environments.
