Amphe-Lite Subminiature Cylindrical Connectors
 
The Amphe-Lite Connector Series is designed for communications equipment manufactures with signal, power, RF or fiber optic interconnect requirements in harsh environments such as communication towers, outdoor and roof-top applications. This commercial 38999, Series III type composite connector series is ideal for communications equipment, manufacturing process control and medical equipment.

The Amphe-Lite offers the highest performance capabilities for severe environment applications, and yet is cost effective enough for general duty and non-environmental applications.

Amphe-Power Connectors with RADSOK® Technology
 
The new RADSOK® contact design has been incorporated into a number of Amphenol's existing high power environmental and high performance connector product lines.

These new connector lines from Amphenol Industrial Operations are called Amphe-Power Connectors, reflecting the high power amperage applications they are designed for.

The new Amphe-Power series provide reliable and convenient electrical connections for a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications including:
  • Battery Connections
  • Stationary power sets
  • Generators
  • Alternators
  • Base stations
  • Petro-chemical installations

    The Amphe-Power Family of Connectors
     
    The Amphe-Power Series consists of three of the time-tested and reliable families of Amphenol Industrial Connectors, all of which are MIL-C-5015 styles, medium to heavy-duty cylindrical. These series, enhanced with RADSOK® sockets, can now handle up to 150% higher amperages. Current Amphe-Power product line supports form 50A to 500A continuous duty.

    Special Amphe-Power Connectors
     
    The Power P-Lok Connectors with 14mm RADSOK® sockets are used for high amperage applications such as fuel cells, load bands or charging systems. This socket and the mating pin with either a 2/0 or 4/0 crimp barrel can accommodate 500 amps continuous current without significant thermal rise. This connector combines a high amperage capability with the proven features of the P-LOK connector series; push-pull mating and environmental sealing, in size 28 shell size. Other sizes can be made available by contacting the factory.
    The cable plug with pin contacts is crimped using conventional tools and is designed to be over-molded to the jacketed cable. Panel connectors with popular 14mm RADSOK® sockets can be terminated to a bus bar with an M4 size threaded bolt. Standard shell plating is electro-less nickel with silver plated pins and RADSOK® sockets.
    Additional features of the product may include a "Dead Front" nonconductive surface to the pin, UL recognized creepage paths, and a "Touch-proof" socket design.
     
     
    First Mate, Last Break P-LOK
     
    The Amphe-Power FMLB product is a connector with smaller size 8 gage pins and RADSOK® sockets. The pins feature a nonconductive "Dead Front" feature for the personal safety of the user when the connector is unmated. There is also a "First Mate - Last Break" pin in the pattern which connects the grounding circuit prior to the other three high amperage circuits.
    The four position insert pattern features longer creepage paths for higher voltage applications and crimp, silver plated crimp pins and RADSOK® sockets.
     
     
    Amphe-Base (2 & 3 position, molded connectors for PCB or bus bar applications)
     
    Amphenol has developed a connector series designed to provide 50 amps per pin of power to printed circuit board or bus bar applications. Molded, one-piece Lexan® construction provides a strong, durable, lightweight, non-environmental connector for base station power. Circuit identification symbols (+.-, and Ground) are molded in for quick and easy identification. This connector design allows one-handed mating and unmating, tool-less contact insertion of nickel plated crimp RADSOK® 6mm sockets and molded-in contact retention features. The off-center spacing of the socket positions provide a failsafe orientation of the connector, insuring the correct circuits are properly mated.
     
     
    Amphe-Power Connectors with over-molded termination to cable
     
    Only Amphenol can provide Amphe-Power connectors over-molded to high amperage cables. These connectors are easily terminated to single or multi-conductor cables using standard contact crimping and insertion tools. Neoprene, Hypalon or over-molds of other materials provide an environmental seal to the rear of the connector and the cable jacket while providing flexible strain relief. These cables fit a variety of applications and markets. Cable jacket and over-mold materials are available and they will withstand automotive fluids, chemicals, cutting oils, coolants and other industrial fluids.
