Original Press Release:
Amphenol Offers New Datacom Connector Series Through National Distributor Network
Sidney, NY, December 2004 -- Amphenol Industrial Operations now offers its Amphe-PD(TM) connector series through its extensive nationwide distribution network. The Amphe-PD(TM) series features RADSOK® technology, a terminal that features a stamped hyperbolic grid providing low insertion force, high amperage, high reliability, and a longer cycle life. The Amphe-PD(TM) connector series is ideally suited for the datacom industry, as well as many other applications.
The Amphe-PD(TM) connectors generate more processing power with less heat than a similar-sized connector. The series produces greater amperage without wasting valuable space, offering a compact solution for datacom applications, which require small, yet powerful connectors.
The Amphe-PD(TM) solution is UL listed at 69A and CSA listed at 55A. Amphe-PD(TM) features a single position RADSOK® with molded socket shell or a dual-position TUV "touch-proof" with a V0 rating. In addition, the RADSOK® in the Amphe-PD(TM) supports 50A to 70A continuous duty.
Amphenol's Amphe-PD(TM) series was developed with the ability to connect to wires, busbars, as well as circuit boards. This flexibility allows the Amphe-PD(TM) to be used in a wide variety of applications. Several different plastic receptacle-mounting variations are also available.
With millions of parts in the field, the RADSOK® electrical connection has proven to be extremely reliable, with almost no reported connection failures in Amphenol RADSOK-designed applications. RADSOK® utilizes the tensile strength properties of the flat, high conductivity alloy grid for the high normal forces required for conductivity, while providing a large conductive surface area. This results in a correspondingly low voltage drop and low temperature rise while maintaining low insertion forces.
