1100 Modules
The Amphenol Air LB France's 1100 series consists of Quick junction modules for signal and low current distribution, where sealing, space and weight-saving are prime requirements. Suited for wiring optimization, then offering weight and cost savings, these track-mounted modules (on metallic track) are available from 6 contacts size 12 up to 21 contacts size 22 in different contact configurations.
127/HE801-HE804-HE807
The 127/HE8 series is a medium-density range of multi-contact plug-in connectors for PCB. This range of 2.54 staggered grid, low profile connectors offers the widest range of hardware, guides, and contact terminations, providing more flexibility to PCB designers.
1750 Modules
The Amphenol Air LB France's 1750 series consists of Quick junction modules for signal and low current distribution, where sealing, space and weight-saving are prime requirements. Suited for wiring optimization, then offering weight and cost savings, these track-mounted modules (on metallic or composite track) are available in different contact configurations (size 12 to 22).
1765 Electronic Component Carrying Modules
Derived from the 1750 series, the Amphenol Air LB France's 1765 modules series consists of components carrier versions that can be fitted with diodes, resistors, fuses, etc. Perfectly suited in a cable harness to easily insert a component. They offer a perfect sealing (IP66 / IP68 and IP69K), space and weight-saving. Mounting on composite or metallic tracks.
2M Micro38999 Connectors
Designed for applications that demand size and weight savings without sacrificing the electrical and mechanical performance of a standard MIL-DTL-38999. 70% Lighter and 50% Smaller than Similar MIL-DTL-38999 Connectors. Fully Intermateable, Intermountable, and Interchangeable with Mighty Mouse.
387TV Series
Size 7 connectors dedicated to size 8 high-speed contacts (Coax, Twinax, Quadrax, 1Gb Octomax, 10Gb Octomax coming soon) and fiber optic.
38999 Integral Accessories
D38999 Series III style connectors featuring an integral banding platform or integral strain relief eliminate the need for an additional backshell accessory. The banding platform incorporated into the rear of the connector shell allows the user to attach the shield of their cable directly to the connector, providing superior EMI shielding, enhanced sealing, and ease for overmold applications.
75 Ohms Coaxial Contacts
75Ohms Coaxial contacts are ideal for video acquisition. This contact range meets the 3G-SDI. Available in Crimp and PC Tails with three different sizes: 6, 8, and 12. This contact range fits within a standard cavity of MIL-DTL-D38999/EN3645, SIM/EN4165, ARINC, and 2M.
Agnostic Media Converters
Media conversion products that work across a variety of protocols.
Alternate to Cadmium Platings
Multiple options for alternate-to-cadmium platings, including Durmalon, Black Zinc Nickel, and the new AP-93 1000-hour salt spray approved plating. Amphenol uses the RoHS requirements and the latest revisions to the MIL-DTL-38999 specification to develop these platings.
AmpheSEAL High Pressure
The AmpheSEAL connectors provide sealing between the plug and receptacle interfaces and have been tested to withstand pressure to at least 300 PSI. Not intermateable with standard products. Must use AmpheSEAL on both sides of the mated pair.
AP-93 Plating
AP-93 is a conductive REACH/RoHS compliant finish that outperforms Cadmium. AP-93 exceeds Olive-Drab Cadmium plating by meeting 1000 hours of dynamic salt spray, 500 mating cycles, and meets the millivolt drop shell-to-shell conductivity of nickel (Class F). AP-93 meets a 200° C temperature rating, is compatible with other platings, and is available on all D38999-style Series III connectors.
Aquacon Connectors
Designed to provide maximum service in oceanic or fluid immersion applications. A specially designed aluminum bronze coupling nut and type 316 stainless steel shells resist corrosion and provide a pressure withstanding connector. Positive threaded coupling. “O” rings, and a color band visual indicator assures sealing and proper mating. A rear accessory thread provides for the use of EMI hardware.
ARINC 801 Fiber Optic Connectors
Amphenol offers a multi-channel circular connector that complies with the ARINC specification. This connector, available in straight plug and wall mount receptacle, uses the ARINC 801 ceramic termini.
AXOS
The Amphenol AXOS fiber optic expanded beam is a miniature, hermaphroditic, and cost-effective alternative to other expanded beam connectors, offering a robust and protected optical connection in a small size (OD 27 mm).
Backshells as per VG95319-1011
Backshell as per VG95319 as adapter with strain reliever shells for D38999 series 3. This forms a connection to a plug or a socket. This serves to seal or for continuing shielding. The backshells are available in various versions, straight or bent as tape adapters, individual cone adapters or mold adapters.
Board Level Connectors
Amphenol SOCAPEX offers a wide range of board to board (PCB) & board to cable connectors. Our solutions cover different types of technologies using copper and/or fiber optic are proposed as high pin count connector or high speed solutions. Our connectors are designed to meet performances of main standards as MIL-DTL-55302, MIL-DTL-83513 and VITA (either VITA 46 or VITA 66).
Board-to-Board RF Connectors
Amphenol RF offers a variety of board-to-board solutions engineered to maximize radial and axial float, eliminating the need for cables between the boards and simplifying designs to eliminate assembly errors.
Breakaway Plugs and Jacks
Watertight, breakaway connectors are designed to meet severe environmental conditions. They are watertight, with wiping-action contacts that self-clean. Shielded versions are available and termination is either solder or insulation-piercing, which is field installable. Miniature versions are also available.
