Industrial Plugs & Sockets

The Amphenol Amphe-Lite connector series are sub-miniature cylindrical connectors designed for signal, power, RF or fibre optic interconnect applications within industrial or harsh environments such as communication towers, roof-tops and other outdoor applications. This composite connector series is ideal for communications equipment, manufacturing process control and medical equipment.

The robust composite construction of the Amphe-Lite series offers high performance capabilities for severe environment applications and excellent EMI shielding (F class), while being cost effective enough for general duty and non-environmental applications.

Designed for Performance, there are numerous advantages in performance capability designed into the Amphenol Amphe-Lite Connector. A positive shoulder to shoulder coupling design, grounding fingers, and electroless nickel plating provide superior EMI shielding capability of 65 dB minimum at 10 GHz.

Amphe-Lite connectors provide EMI shielding capability which exceeds MIL-DTL38999 Series III requirements. The Amphe-Lite connector with EMI rounding fingers and conductive finishes has proven to be the ultimate in EMI shielding effectiveness. These capabilities along with a 125°C temperature rating and superior moisture sealing protection provide the user with a connector that can withstand the most rigorous application. UL RTI rating is 105°C

features & benefits

  • Service Class F Amphe-Lite connectors provide excellent EMI shielding and grounding through electroless nickel plating and spring grounding rings. Environmental sealing is ensured with inter-facial seals to prevent contact corrosion. Composite shells are completely immune to corrosion problems.
  • Class F Composite shells resist severe corrosion, and provide plating endurance from salt spray exposure for a minimum of 2000 hours.
  • Service Class U provides a non-conductive shell when EMI shielding is not a criteria.
  • Completely mates in one 360-degree turn of the coupling nut to provide the fastest and easiest equipment assembly and maintenance possible.
  • Acme threads provide coupling durability. Thicker wall sections and a greater coupling surface area improve strength and shock resistance. Blunting of the thread on both the coupling nut and receptacle eliminates cross coupling.
  • Recessed pins minimise potential contact damage in this 100% scoop proof connector. In a blind mating application, mating shells cannot “scoop” the pins and cause a shorting or bending of contacts.
  • A rigid dielectric insert with excellent electrical characteristics provides durable protection to the contacts. The socket contacts are probe proof, and all contacts are rear insertable and rear removable. Available in sizes 10 power, 12, 16, 20 and 22D contacts are plated in the standard 50 micro inches minimum gold, with 100 micro inches as an option.

Optional Features

  • Amphenol Amphe-Lite connectors allow for use of many contact types: fibre optics, shielded coaxial, twinax ground plane versions, and power contacts. Consult T&D International for more information on combinations of different types of contacts in one connector shell.
  • Conductive and non-conductive options are available.
  • Non-magnetic Amphe-Lite is a new variation – Amphenol offers one of the few 100% non-magnetic connectors with high contact density.

Specifications

  • UL #E115497
  • Commercial 38999 Series III Type Connector
  • RoHS Compliant
