Connectors
Amphenol has been designing and manufacturing electrical and electronic connectors since the company’s inception in 1932. For nearly a century, we’ve been helping customers transmit power, data and signal in the harshest environments, from subsea applications to the outer reaches of space and everywhere in between. Our wide array of electrical and electronic connectors come in multiple form factors and are designed to meet the latest market needs including high power, high speeds, size and weight reduction, EMI shielding, hermeticity, high pressure and improved board retention. Amphenol also offers a broad portfolio of contact styles, termination types, mating styles, connector geometries and environmentally-friendly RoHS plating.

AirMax VS® Coplanar High-Speed Backplane Connector
AirMax VS® coplanar connectors permit mating two boards in the same plane. The AirMax family includes many coplanar configurations including 3-, 4- and 5-Pair per column connectors with column pitch of 2mm and 3mm. This family also includes 100 Ohms versions for the broad market as well as 85Ohms versions for other computer architectures. These connectors can accommodate 12.5Gb/s applications.
AirMax VS® High-Speed Backplane Connector
AirMax VS® connectors use innovative edge-coupling and air dielectric between adjacent conductors to deliver insertion loss and crosstalk. The AirMax VS® connectors address a broad range of system architectures, including backplane, mid-plane, coplanar, mid-plane orthogonal, cabled backplane, and mezzanine applications.
AirMax VS® Orthogonal High-Speed Backplane Connector
AirMax VS® Orthogonal mid-plane interface features two back-to-back AirMax VS® headers oriented at 90 degrees to each other. The headers connect 16 differential signal pairs through shared vias in the mid-plane, providing a direct, high-speed connection while eliminating traces on the mid-plane. The AirMax VS® Orthogonal mid-plane interconnects can support differential signaling at up to 20Gb/s.
AirMax VS® SBB High-Speed Backplane Connector
AirMax VS® high-speed signal connectors, guide modules, and power connectors meet the dimensional and electrical requirements for the Storage Bridge Bay Mid-plane Interface (SBBMI) to connect bridge/controller cards to the mid-plane in a drive enclosure. It comes with high-speed serial data rates that can scale from 2.5Gb/s to 12.5Gb/s without requiring the redesign of a basic platform.
Alternate to Cadmium Platings
Multiple options for alternate-to-cadmium platings, including Durmalon, Black Zinc Nickel, and the new AP-93 1000-hour salt spray approved plating. Amphenol uses the RoHS requirements and the latest revisions to the MIL-DTL-38999 specification to develop these platings.
AM & AL - Industrial Relay
AL & AM is available in a variety of contact forms and load specifications, and LED lights indicate the operational status of coil on or off. It is suitable for debugging personnel to test the circuit manually.
AMC4 Connector Series
The AMC4 (Amphenol Micro Coaxial, 4th Generation) connector series is a low-profile series with an extremely small board footprint.
AMC Connector Series
The AMC (Amphenol Micro Coaxial) connector series is a low profile (2.5 mm of the board) series with an extremely small board footprint (3mm x 3mm). This series is used in applications with 50 Ω impedance requirements and has a performance from DC to 6 GHz. The coupling style of the AMC connector series is snap-on for secure and easy mating.
AMHTC Series Connectors
Amphenol “AMHTC” high tension connector series for railway vehicle installable power distribution systems, offers the ultimate in safety and reliability under the most severe operating conditions.
The AMHTC series connectors allow the user to connect electrical equipment quickly with ultimate safety.
AMMC Connector Series
The AMMC (Amphenol Micro-Miniature Coaxial) connector series is a low profile (1.4 mm of the board) series with an extremely small board footprint (2mm x 2mm). This series is used in applications with 50 Ω impedance requirements and has a performance from DC to 6 GHz. The coupling style of the AMMC connector series is snap-on for secure and easy mating.
