Rectangular connectors

13 August 2003 Interconnection

A broad range of rectangular connector systems, from very high density, ultra-low insertion force connectors to high-powered harsh environment systems are available from Amphenol.

The B3 connector system is unique to Amphenol. With a proprietary brush contact technology, this modular system can be mated and unmated at least 100 000 times. Available from 20 to 580 contacts in one housing, typical insertion and extraction forces for a 580 contact can be equated to that of a 1/2 DIN41612 (48 contacts). The technology also ensures superior contact when mated in extreme vibration environments. The system conforms to Mil-C-55302 and is available in straight or right angle board-to-board and board-to-wire.

The C146 series of industrial power connectors for factory automation was developed for heavy-duty applications within a harsh environment. Available up to 70 A, IP65 with UL, VDE, CSA and SEV approvals, a variety of housing sizes are available that can hold up to 280 contacts.

Amphenol's range of PCB rectangular connectors include the DIN41612 and Hard Metric 2 mm systems. A variety of options are available including mixed contact types for fibre optics, RF, power and signal contacts. These systems feature wire wrap, IDC, PCB mount straight or right angle and press-fit technology.

The Arinc 404 and 600 series of connectors conform to and exceed the Mil-C-81659 standard. They come in a variety of shell styles with up to six cavities with low insertion force contacts. Mixed contacts offer RF, power, fibre-optic, signal and newly-introduced pneumatic options. Amphenol also offers the Arinc connectors in filtered versions.

Amphenol AirLB's SIM range of miniature rectangular connectors are ideal for airborne applications. They offer superior performance against EMI, 50 dB @ 10 GHz. Its compact design can house 80 size 22 contacts in a 86 x 20,4 mm space. Mixed-contact options are readily available. This space also offers locking and keying options. This system is available in a metallic or composite housing and complies with UTE-C-93425, HE513 and Pr.EN 4165.
