Delve into a comprehensive exploration of electrical connectors and their indispensable role in specific applications. We will walk you through essential factors to consider when selecting connectors, such as current capacity, voltage rating, environmental conditions, mil-spec, compatibility, and format size. Gain insider tips tailored for choosing connectors suitable for a range of environments – from challenging automotive industrial applications to delicate electronic circuits -- ensuring the best performance for the intended applications.
Overview
On and off-highway vehicles — whether utilized in construction, agriculture, mining, or other demanding sectors — necessitate robust connectors distinct from those in consumer vehicles. These heavy-duty connectors are essential for ensuring secure connections in extreme conditions such as high vibrations, temperature variations, and exposure to contaminants.
Amphenol Sine Systems has risen to the challenge with unique connector solutions and a long track record of technical expertise. In this webinar we will dive into the intricacies of selecting connectors suitable for a variety of contexts such as the tough needs of industrial settings, the unpredictability of outdoor locations, and the accuracy necessary in sensitive electronics.
We will arm you with exclusive suggestions that will help you make informed decisions that impact not only the choice of connector but also the performance and safety of related applications. Join us to gain a better grasp of this fundamental electrical element.
We will take a close look at specific connectors for rigorous environments. Models explored will include the Amphenol Sine Systems A series, incorporating designs to withstand an impressive engagement force; the ATM series, built to ensure resilience against the challenges of off-highway applications; and the AT-SR01/SR02 Series, with innovative strain relief features to safeguard wiring and provide enhanced protection. We will also explore Amphenol Sine’s advanced Hyperbuss AT family of receptacle connectors with busbars encapsulated within the connector, offering protection from external elements and enabling a single power source to be distributed across multiple connections.
All these connector series will be explored in the context of factors including current capacity, voltage rating, environmental conditions, mil-spec, compatibility with other industry-standard products, and more.
