Single-pole high-power connectors for demanding high-reliability applications

Available now from Mouser, Amphenol's Rhino 38999 single-pole high-power connectors are ideal for high-reliability applications, including vehicular, aerospace, industrial, automation, mining, offshore and other harsh environments. The connectors combine the benefits of field-proven Mil-DTL-38999 Series III circular connectors with hyperbolic contacts that extend the boundaries of high-power connector technology. The use of RADSOK contacts in Rhino 38999 connectors creates an electrical interface that exceeds typical interconnect requirements. A hyperbolic socket contact construction distributes normal forces over a high percentage of the mating surface to ensure a smooth and even engagement force with exceptionally high performance under vibration. The large surface area of the socket contact also results in a very low contact resistance, enabling much higher current ratings compared to other power contact designs, says the company.
