Sidney, N.Y. August 2011 – Amphenol Industrial, a international leader in interconnect techniques, has introduced a new higher amperage, solitary pole, plastic circular electrical power connector for benign environment power applications. The Amphe-PPC is perfect for outside power provide, handle programs and communications environments in a variety of industrial markets like hybrid and electric vehicle, heavy tools, outer door LED and factory automation.
The compact, light-weight and price-efficient Amphe-PPC uses silver-plated five.seven mm RADSOK crimp-termination contacts, with gold-plated available, and can carry a current up to 120A. It functions a decrease insertion power and temperature rise than classic contacts, supplying extended daily life and the potential to be utilized in larger current applications at a offered temperature.
The Amphe-PPC arrives with built-in, waterproof cable glands, so additional adaptors are not needed, permitting it to match into more compact spaces.
This IP67-rated connector also features rubber seals as well as a molded thermoplastic housing and insert. Every single connector is designed with ninety- and 120-shade and keyway positions of diverse polarity to avert mating problems and to guarantee safety in the course of operation. The connector is finger-proof in unmated applications to decrease contact with dwell contacts and avert risk of shock.
The rugged connector can stand up to up to 500 mating cycles at prolonged temperatures from -40°C to +125°C, salt fog spray to NACI 5% for 1,000 several hours as nicely as shock and vibration of 980 m/s. Optimum running voltage is 600V AC and contact resistance is five million-ohms. Minimum insulation resistance is 5,000 mega-ohms at 25°C.
Amphenol’s patented RADSOK engineering utilised in the new Amphe-PPC utilizes the tensile power attributes of flat, high conductivity alloy grid for the large standard forces needed for conductivity, even though supplying a big conductive surface area area. This results in a correspondingly low voltage drop and low temperature rise even though maintaining reduced insertion forces. With hundreds of thousands of components in the subject, the RADSOK electrical link has established to be incredibly reputable, with virtually no documented connection failures in Amphenol RADSOK-created purposes.
Pricing for the Amphe-PPC starts at .19 a mated pair. Delivery is five to 6 weeks ARO.
