Amphenol Industrial Operations has released a 2-pin connector with 1.5mm socket contacts featuring the company's exclusive Radsok contact system.
The new Tru-Lok connector series features a molded thermoplastic main plug body and secondary latch, with Viton main seals and wire seals.
Tru-Lok connectors are designed to perform in demanding environments, such as under valve covers on diesel engines and in various under-bonnet interconnect applications.
The Radsok contact system is a patented electrical terminal based on a hyperbolic grid configuration.
The cylinders contain elongated contactor strips connected in spaced, parallel relationships, twisted into a hyperbolic shape.
As a male PIN is inserted, the grid deflects, imparting high normal forces.
The hyperbolic configuration ensures a large coaxial, face-to-face engagement area for a low milli-volt drop connection with low insertion force.
The stamped grid and cylinder are very rugged, allowing for a high quantity of insertion cycles and off axis insertions.
Popular Radsok sizes are 12, 8, 4, 0, 2/0, 4/0 and 18mm.
Pricing for Tru-Lok connectors starts at $3.15 each in quantities of 500.
Delivery is 6 weeks ARO.
