Newark, the Development Distributor, is now offering Amphenol’s LPT Series, providing designers and engineers with a cost-effective alternative for military-grade connectors. Featuring a lightweight aluminum shell design and a standard PT shell with coupling nut, this new series is compatible with the popular original Amphenol PT series.

“Driving innovation requires cost-effective solutions that don’t sacrifice quality,” said Rob Toenies, Product Manager at Newark. “We’re excited to continue building our strong relationship with Amphenol by offering this new solution for engineering customers looking for a military-spec product at a commodity price.”

Amphenol’s LPT Series features cylindrical bayonet connectors that allow for easy insertion and ensure retention force with three retention tines equipped with stamped and formed crimp contacts. The high shock and vibration resistant connectors allow for years of proven performance in the field.

Widely used in general and harsh environments, the LPT Series Connector is ideal for factory automation, automotive, hybrid electric vehicles, energy storage, power distribution, industrial instrumentation, and process control applications.

Newark, the Development Distributor, continues to offer its community of designers with the varied connector options they need to advance their designs with the addition of the Micro-Bayonet (Micro-B) connectors from Amphenol Industrial Operations. This product line provides an affordable alternative to connectors used in industrial markets requiring high signal counts and small packages.

The Micro-B series offers lightweight, high performance connectors with a small footprint that utilize a robust triple bayonet coupling, providing quick and positive locking. The Micro-B series is ideal for industrial designers seeking high electrical performance at a low price. The new circular connector series is designed for industrial applications such as Telecommunications, HEV, Robotics/Factory Automation, Industrial Instrumentation, Security, and Test Equipment where electrical performance must be met with affordability.

Micro-B meets the requirements of today’s electrical equipment by delivering excellent shell-to-shell electrical bonding for EMI required in rugged connectors. The compact Micro-B features high density insert patterns with size 22D contacts allowing for more circuits to be connected and a simplified termination process with tape and reel contacts. It also offers tool-less and fast mating for ease of use in the field.

Further technical information:

• RoHS-compliant circular connector series
• Various mounting options available, including in-line and 2-hole flange mount configurations
• Operating temperature of -40°C to +125°C, a dielectric withstanding voltage of 500 VRMS and a current rating of up to 3 Amps per contact. It is durable up to 500 mating cycles
• With Gray ZnNi plating, Micro-B can withstand up to 500 hours salt spray without corrosion detrimental to its operation
