Amphenol’s New Amphe-Armor Over-molded Rugged Circular Connector Series Designed for Harsh, Rugged Applications

SIDNEY, N.Y., October 2007 — Amphenol Industrial’s new over-molded Amphe-Armor series features superior durability and water tight construction to withstand the harshest environments and demanding applications. Amphenol Industrial manufactures an extensive line of high reliability connectors and interconnection systems.

The field-installable, field-repairable Amphe-Armor series, currently available in a variety of shell sizes and contacts with either a PT or a GT insert option, is ideal for a multitude of applications. These range from geophysical, machine tool, railway and motor control environments to energy control systems, meteorology and sewage treatment.

In addition to the rugged, over-molded housing, constructed of high-impact glass-filled thermoplastic, these IP67-rated connectors feature a solder wire termination and heavy-duty coupling nut. Custom colors are available for users’ unique applications. The Amphe-Armor series operates in a temperature range from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to 267°F).

Amphenol’s PT miniature bayonet connectors offer twice the number of contacts in just half the size of a standard connector. GT reverse bayonet coupling connectors have an audible and tactile full mating feature for positive coupling assurance.

The GT versions are also available as Amphe-Power™ connectors with RADSOK® technology that can handle up to 50% higher amperages than MS-standard products, or from 50 Amps to over 1,000 Amps of continuous duty.

Pricing for the Amphe-Armor series starts at $55 per unit. Delivery is two to four weeks ARO.
