New Rugged Environment Tru-Lok Connector From Amphenol Features Radsok Contact System
Sidney, NY, November 2004 - Amphenol Industrial Operations has announced the introduction of a 2-pin connector with 1.5 mm socket contacts featuring Amphenol's exclusive RADSOK contact system. The new Tru-Lok connector series features a molded thermoplastic main plug body and secondary latch, with Viton main seals and wire seals. Tru-Lok connectors are designed to perform in demanding environments, such as under valve covers on diesel engines and in various under-hood interconnect applications.
The RADSOK contact system is a patented electrical terminal based on a hyperbolic grid configuration. The cylinders contain elongated contactor strips connected in spaced, parallel relationships, twisted into a hyperbolic shape. As a male pin is inserted, the grid deflects, imparting high normal forces. The hyperbolic configuration ensures a large coaxial, face-to-face engagement area for a low milli-volt drop connection with low insertion force. The stamped grid and cylinder are very rugged, allowing for a high quantity of insertion cycles and off axis insertions. Popular RADSOK sizes are #12, #8, #4, #0, #2/0, #4/0 and 18 mm.
Pricing for Tru-Lok connectors starts at $3.15 each in quantities of 500. Delivery is 6 weeks ARO.
