QWL Connectors
QWL Series Connectors are tailor-made for compact, heavy-duty industrial use. The outstanding performance of this series makes it well suited for shipboard installations and ground support power distribution applications where physical strength and dependability are key requirements. The QWL Series is a versatile, economical alternative to military qualified designs.
QWLD Connectors
QWLD Series heavy-duty cylindrical connectors provide reliable power and control functions in hostile environments where ordinary connectors cannot survive. Water and explosion-proof, resistant to abrasion, corrosion, vibration, and shock. Double stub threads for fast coupling. Over 300 industrial and MS-approved insert patterns are available, including coaxial and thermocouple contacts.
R27
The Amphenol R27 Series is a robust rectangular connector designed to meet or surpass all the requirements of MIL-DTL-83527 and EN 3682. This series is particularly well suited for military and commercial aircraft applications in harsh environments. Connectors, shells, inserts, termination modules, and contacts are sold separately or as full assemblies. Can be filtered. See our 485 series.
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.
R39 - Rectangular 38999
Amphenol's rectangular 38999 connector soars to meet higher expectations. It is dynamically engineered for a changing world.
• Rectangular for space savings
• Low profile
• High density 127 position inserts or mixed inserts with power, RF, or fibre-optic available
• Blind mate
• Rugged
• Uses same contacts as standard 38999
R58
The Amphenol R58 series are high-performance environment-resistant, rectangular connectors designed to be compatible with all MIL-DTL-83733 connectors and Amphenol Canada is interchangeable with all M83733 connectors and the only qualified supplier for the Mil-Spec JN1122. Can be filtered. See our 458 series.
Raceways
Raceways are built in a one-piece, lightweight design with multiple fixing points. Our raceways are strong, durable and make wire bundle installation and maintenance easy.
Rack and Panel Connector
Brush Rack and Panel connector series utilizes Amphenol’s durable and reliable B3 contact system in a rugged, non-floating Rack and Panel connector. Included in this series are digital and power/digital “hybrid” insert arrangements. The hybrid series utilizes Amphenol’s high-performance RADSOK® power contacts along with Amphenol’s proven B3 contact.
RADSOK®
RADSOK® technology is based upon a stamped and formed flat grid, uniquely twisted into a hyperbolic geometry to provide robust, high-density contact to the mating pin contact. This provides the high normal forces required for conductivity and provides a large conductive surface area. Correspondingly low voltage drop and low-temperature rise are also achieved while maintaining low insertion forces
Ranger Connectors
Lightweight pin and socket connection. Designed for future solder requirements. Capable of USB 3.0, push-pull or breakaway mating, and IP-68 rated.
Receptacle "Stand off"
For quick and durable installation.
Receptacle with Enhanced Sealing
Withstand differential pressure with very low air leakage.
Rectangular
Positronic rectangular series connectors come with standard & high-density versions and are best for rack & panel applications or for applications with direct current, low-frequency analog, or digital high-speed data. Select products are certified to MIL-DTL-28748 and SAE AS39029.
Rectangular Backshells
Amphenol Canada can provide backshells for all our standard and custom products. From Arinc style to Micro-D. A wide variety of exit ports are available from EMI to cable clamp as well as different plating and mounting options.
Rectangular Connectors with Fiber Optic Termini
High-speed fiber optic transmission is available in rectangular connectors for use in advanced avionics systems. The optical performance of fiber optic termini is the same as termini used in circular connectors. LRM interconnects can have hybrid arrangements of fiber optics with Brush contacts, as well as other contact types.
Rectangular Connectors with High Speed Contacts
Offer several advantages for high data transfer rates, low power consumption, and excellent EMI compatibility. Variety of plated, aluminum shell styles available. Quadrax, Split Pair Quadrax, or Differential Twinax available. Board Level connectors can incorporate straight or PCB Tails right angle, or straight compliant tail contacts.
Reduced Flange Jam Nut Receptacles
The MIL-DTL-38999 Series III jam-nut style connector features a reduced flange design that saves space, weight, and reduces your footprint when used in PCB applications. More connectors are able to be fit on a box or board due to the reduced flange having a smaller diameter than a standard jam nut receptacle. 30% lighter than standard 38999/24 (w/o stand-offs).
Reflow Stable Multiport PCB Connectors
SV Microwave introduces a line of 2- and 4-port SMP, SMPM, and SMPS PCB connectors designed to withstand the high temperatures found in solder reflow ovens. Capable of withstanding up to 500°C, these connectors retain their internal geometries without compromising electrical and mechanical performance after going through solder reflow.
Reflow Stable PCB Connectors
SV Microwave now offers a line of PCB connectors that feature an epoxy-based dielectric that keeps the connector dimensionally stable and flush to the board during the reflow process. Available in SMP, SMPM, and SMPS series.
Relay Sockets
Adaptation device between a Relay and a Cable harness, our relay sockets are widely used by European aircraft manufacturers.
