Amphenol Industrial Operations has long been a trusted leader in providing rugged and reliable connectivity solutions. With the expansion of the APC (Amphenol Plastic Connector) Series, Amphenol continues its commitment to meet the demanding needs of various industries by offering advanced plastic connectors that combine durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. The APC Series is poised to serve an even wider range of applications in industrial machinery, factory automation, HVAC systems, medical devices, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of the APC Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The APC Series, a product line that includes standard, mini, and power versions, is designed to deliver high-performance connectivity for signal and power transmission in challenging environments. These connectors are built with a lightweight plastic shell that offers inherent corrosion resistance and robust mechanical performance, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The APC Series connectors come with a triple-start ACME thread for fast coupling, stamped and formed contacts, and a self-locking mechanism. This design ensures not only ease of use but also durability in ruggedized environments, offering up to 500 mating cycles and an IP67 rating when mated. Furthermore, the connectors are UL and CSA certified, providing customers with confidence in their safety and compliance with international standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Lightweight and Corrosion Resistant<\/strong>: The connectors feature a plastic shell, which reduces the overall weight of the system while ensuring corrosion resistance, making them suitable for harsh environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Power, Signal, and Hybrid Options<\/strong>: The APC Series offers a range of configurations that include power-only, signal-only, and hybrid power-signal connectors, providing flexibility for different applications. Current ratings range from 7.5A to 70A, depending on the connector size and contact arrangement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fast Coupling System<\/strong>: With a triple-start ACME thread on the APC standard and a two-way bayonet system in the mini variant, the connectors ensure fast and secure coupling, reducing installation time and maintenance efforts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Environmental Protection<\/strong>: The APC connectors are designed to withstand tough environmental conditions, with IP67-rated sealing to protect against dust and moisture. The connectors also feature UV resistance, thanks to their UL94 V-0 flammability-rated plastic shell, making them suitable for outdoor use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Stamped and Formed Contacts<\/strong>: The connectors are equipped with stamped and formed copper alloy contacts, which are available with tin, silver, or gold plating for enhanced electrical performance and corrosion resistance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
