Amphenol Industrial Products Group has introduced a new connector that distributes high-current DC power in a compact design. The Amphe-PD series transports higher currents with less heat in data center, robotics, and industrial automation applications.
The new solution is designed to connect wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and busbar terminations. And these connectors are available in busbar mount, right angle, and vertical SMT-compatible PCB mounts, offering wire terminations ranging from 12 AWG to 4 AWG.
The Amphe-PD connectors employ radial socket (RADSOK) technology for higher amperage, lower t-rise, less resistance, and lower mating forces. The RADSOK terminal also facilitates more power in a smaller footprint by featuring a stamped hyperbolic contact with multiple beams for optimal current-carrying performance.
The Amphe-PD connectors feature an integrated latching mechanism for secure mating and tool-less assembly. They also boast crimp contacts in the plug and receptacle with a crimp barrel for up to 4-AWG wire.
Amphenol’s 3.6-mm connectors are UL-listed at 69 A and CSA-listed at 55 A. Moreover, these connectors support 50 A to 70 A continuous duty rating, and they meet RoHS and UL-94V-0 guidelines.
