Octonet Contacts
Size 8 Octonet Contacts for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. Available in size 8 crimp termination style, including PC tails. Can be installed in existing size 8 Quadrax cavities. Meets performance specifications of CAT-6A cable. Overall higher bandwidth than standard CAT5E Quadrax-supports up to 4.0 Gbps per pair. 10G Ethernet compliant.
Omega Clamps
Omega Clamps were developed to replace and outperform traditional P-Clamps and Saddle Clamps. Featuring an over-mold silicone cushion with PEEK polymer, our clamps are completely non-conductive/non-corrosive, lightweight, and very durable.
Panel Mount Bulkhead RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave just released standard SMA and 2.92mm female bulkhead cable assemblies used to transmit a signal through a panel using a single mounting hole. The bulkhead connector style allows installation through a box or panel without the use of screws. The fastening nut is installed around the front of the connector on the outside of the box or panel.
PCB Contacts
PCB Tail contacts are best for applications that have limited space and connectors that are attached to printed circuit boards. Three standard tail lengths (.15 inches, .25 inches, .35 inches). Custom designs available. Gold plated or pre-tinned.
PCB Mounting Hardware
This hardware effectively redirects external forces away from the PCB connectors, ensuring a stable and reliable connection between the cable assembly and the PCB. The mounting hardware is designed for easy installation, leveraging existing cable connector features and requiring only a screw, nut, and Allen wrench for secure attachment. This solution is ideal for high-reliability applications.
P-Clamps
P-Clamps were developed to replace and outperform traditional P-Clamps and Saddle Clamps. Featuring an overmold silicone cushion with PEEK polymer, our clamps are completely non-conductive/non-corrosive, lightweight, and very durable.
Pegasus
Pegasus is Amphenol Pcd’s latest innovation in small, lightweight, rugged connectors. Designed for use in harsh environments, Pegasus builds on the successful Luminus Series Aerospace connector with the addition of EMI shielding. Tests show between 40db and 60db of attenuation, depending on frequency. RoHS and REACH compliant.
Pegasus High Speed
Pegasus High Speed provides exceptional performance in tight spaces, with a svelte shell size 8 (0.512”) outer diameter. With the explosive growth in Ethernet-enabled devices (IOT), this is size and configuration is particularly suited for endpoint applications, such as individual avionics sensors, panel-mounted units, seat back, and wall-mounted displays and monuments.
PhaseTrack®-047
PT-047 is a low-loss, highly flexible, foam-core micro coaxial cable. Originally designed for space satellite programs, this high-performance cable has many applications across multiple markets.
Power Distribution Units (PDU)
Our Power Distribution Units (PDU) ensure advanced load balancing, surge protection, and seamless integration of crucial systems, with control and diagnostics via CAN bus, RS-485, and/or Ethernet, offering a robust foundation for military operations in challenging conditions from 28V to 600V.
Power Feeder Spacers
Power feeder spacers provide a constant spacing between the power feeder. The custom design of this product allows a six-degree rotation on the power feeder bundle and doesn’t fight against the natural flow of the cable. It is designed to sit within an Omega Clamp used as anchor points.
PowerSafe
PowerSafe MIL-DTL-38999 Series III is developed to transfer high power (500 V) in harsh environments, with full safety for the user.
PowerSafe as per VG96944
Circular connectors, TV of aluminum, stainless steel, marine bronze, approved as per MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. Versions available as power plugs from 250V to 500V, Powersafe, with pre-mated mass contacts.
Pressure Sensors
Notable for high accuracy and repeatability, All Sensors is an industry
leader in the design and manufacture of ultra-low pressure sensors. Well-suited for flow measurement and control applications, pressure ranges
are available as low as 0.25 in H2O and as high as 150 PSI. Custom options are available, including port fittings, packaging, pressure ranges, and performance values.
Protective Caps
Protective caps are available for many of our products, with options for chains and mounting hardware.
Pyle 26500 Hermetic Connectors
Amphenol/Pyle Commercial 26500 Connectors are qualified to Military Specification MIL-DTL-26500, as well as numerous high-performance customer specifications. Available in Stainless Steel receptacle, with bayonet or threaded coupling. Amphenol/Pyle is an experienced supplier of highly reliable hermetic connectors for the aircraft industry and our ZZL and ZZB series of hermetics.
QMA Connector Series
The QMA connector is a quick disconnect version of the SMA connector and shares the same internal construction, which allows the connector to have excellent performance up to 6 GHz.
QN Connectors
Amphenol RF’s QN connector is a quick disconnect version of the N-Type connector with similar internal construction, which enables fast and easy matings with minimum space requirements.
Quick Mount Relay Sockets
Quick Mount Relay Sockets snap mount into standard aircraft panel cutouts and eliminate all socket-to-bulkhead mounting hardware. Simplifying installation, reducing weight, and installation cost. Sockets meet the applicable performance and dimensional requirements of M12883 and are compatible with Mil-Spec approved relays from any manufacture.
R38 Series
These connectors are combinations of D-subminiature or Micro-D with RF contacts. Available in standard contacts, integrated, and reverse-gender integrated for lower-cost solutions. Have provided coax, triax, quadrax solutions for space, military, and commercial applications.
