Temper-Grip

Description:
Amphenol Aerospace has developed a new high current technology for use in high temperature applications. Temper-Grip is a new socket contact series available in most Amphenol product lines. By increasing Ampacity by up to 40%, you can increase the value of your system or potentially downsize your cable size and the space you occupy on your panel. Temper-Grip contacts will far outlast the temperature extremes of the standard connectors they can go into, so these are perfect for any high temperature custom connector applications you may have. Contact Amphenol for any connector applications exceeding 200 degrees Celsius
Features & Benefits:
High Temperature Capability:
For use in high temperature (200 C+) applications, the Temper-grip socket has been tested to maintain current capability in high temperature situations where standard mil-spec socket contacts can begin to relax
"Napkin-Ring" Technology:
Proven design utilizing a stainless steel napkin ring to prevent the beryllium copper tines from “relaxing” at higher temperatures and maintaining a greater area of true contact in all situations to decrease resistance.
Currently Standard Product In:
High Power Series, MGT-5015, Tri-Power D38999, D38999 Series 3 (size 8 cavities only), Contact Amphenol for Availability In other product lines
