AMPHENOL
The Amphenol 451/PT connector range has been renewed
The standard for severe environments, the 451/PT connectors are an economical alternative for applications in which reliability is essential: military, oil, instrumentation, automatic control, telecommunication or railway infrastructures. Amphenol stands out by its quality of service, with a special industrial organization for custom design and the availability of an online expert configurator, www.451-connectors.com. The new series incorporates the exclusive SNAP-CAP technique which protects the receptacle when the male connector is not present.
The very large number of options of the 451/PT series means that it can meet all the needs of the market. Nine
shell sizes are available, with over 35 pin arrangements and up to 61 pins per connector. Versions for wire
soldering, crimping and insertion on PCBs are available. Various surface treatments can be specified: chemical
nickel plating, white or olive green cadmium plating, black anodization. The 451/PT series can carry currents up to
13 A.
And that is not all: Amphenol has set up a service to supply custom housings, machined to meet the specific
requirements of our customers.
At the same time, Amphenol intends to stand out by its quality of service. It has set up an expert specification
assistance organization and launched a market-first online configurator enabling users to define connectors easily
to meet their needs (www.451-connectors.com).
Amphenol has introduced the exclusive SNAP-CAP feature on the 451/PT series. This automatic-closure cap, in
combination with a PT/451 square-collar receptacle, protects the system from dust and water spray. Its specific
characteristic is a flap which closes automatically on the upper part of the receptacle when the plug is removed.
This cap is now available in four sizes: 8, 10, 12, 18.
The 451/PT connector has excellent resistance to severe environments: sealed (IP66/67), airtight, shielded,
withstands a wide range of fluids, resistant to impacts and vibrations and operational from – 55 °C to + 125
°C.
The 451/PT connector has a very large number of applications: instrumentation, battlefield communications
(C4ISR), geophysics (oil exploration and seismic surveys), machine-tools, automatic controls, telecom
infrastructures, railways, and more.
