Custom Molded Cables for Harsh Environments
Amphenol offers high-performance injection-molded cable assemblies (PVC, TPU, LSZH, and Polyurethane). Amphenol performs potting and encapsulation with MIL-M 24041 epoxies. Our mold library supports most Amphenol and Mil-Spec connectors. With vast adhesion studies made on new plating materials, superior over-molding is achieved.
Custom Piezoceramic Composites
Piezo Technologies’ custom piezoceramic composites offer improved and tunable acoustic matching, higher bandwidth, and faster ringdown characteristics, compared to traditional piezoceramics. Applications include underwater sonar, handheld sonar, underwater buried object detection, and NDT. We can provide custom sensing elements as well as complete build-to-spec ultrasonic transducers.
Custom Piezoelectric Ceramics
Piezo Technologies produces advanced piezoelectric ceramics for use in ultrasonic transducers. Our wide range of high quality piezoelectric ceramic materials includes modified Lead Zirconate Titanate, both hard PZT and soft PZT, including Navy Type PZT materials (Navy I PZT-4, Navy II PZT-5A, Navy III PZT-8, Navy V PZT-5J, and Navy VI PZT-5H).
Custom Ultrasonic Transducers
Piezo Technologies customers include many prime defense contractors. We offer a comprehensive suite of services, from design and development to build-to-print contract manufacturing of ultrasonic transducers, sensors, and sub-assemblies. We absorb development work and deliver a plug-and-play acoustic component so their engineers can focus on system-level performance.
D38999 Connectors with Coaxial, Concentric Twinax, and Triax Contacts
MIL-DTL-38999 connectors are ideally suited for shielded contacts for high-performance, high-speed interconnection applications. Insert arrangements can incorporate: coax (sizes 8, 12, and 16); twinax (sizes 8 and 12); and triax contacts (sizes 8, 10, and 12).
D38999 Contact Cable Assemblies
Amphenol SV Microwave offers high-frequency BMA and SMPM D38999 cabled RF contacts (size 8, 12 & 16) to SMA male connectors on Ø.085 and Ø.141 cable types that populate standard D38999 circular connectors. These fixed-length cable assemblies allow you to expand the use of the standard D38999 circular connector to incorporate microwave transmission lines.
D38999 Pin and Socket Contacts
SV Microwave has released a line of D38999 pin and socket contacts that are aligned to the latest specification set forth by SOSA™. These coaxial contacts fit both standard and series III housing and are offered in BMB size 8 and SMPM size 12. These contacts are ideal in an embedded system that transitions from the chassis to an out-of-the-box application.
D38999 Power
For high power transmissions.
Data Concentrator Media Converters
Media conversion products that concentrate data and simplify system cabling and architectures.
Deep Space 38999
The Deep Space 38999 Connector series is designed for extreme cold environments. They are built to retain a grommet-to-wire and contact-to-contact seal in temperatures beyond -85 °F (-65 °C), with inserts that have been cycle tested between -148 °F (-100 °C) to 392 °F (200 °C)
