durable Amphenol FC422P9AA14 connector designed for extreme temperature and environmental conditions
Product Overview
The Positronic SP Max series offers rugged power and signal connectors engineered for demanding applications in military, space, satellite, and commercial aviation. These connectors feature precision-machined shells for EMI/RFI protection and the flexibility to accommodate a variety of contact sizes (#12, #16, #18, #22) within a single unit. Designed for performance compatibility with EN4165, ESA/ESCC-3401, and DO-160 standards, the SP Max series ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, including deep space and planetary-based communications. Key advantages include liquid crystal polymer insulators for wide temperature range operation, high current ratings per contact, integral blind mating capabilities, and various termination options. These connectors are ideal for power and signal I/O, LRUs, battery and solar power distribution, and high-wattage power supplies.
