connector Amphenol FC1816P2SAA with liquid crystal polymer insulators and UL 94V 0 flammability rating
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 robust EMI/RFI protection and the flexibility to accommodate a variety of contact sizes (#12, #16, #18, #22) within a single connector. Designed for performance compatibility with EN4165, ESA/ESCC-3401, and DO-160 standards, the SP Max series ensures reliability in harsh environments, including ground-based, air/space transport, and deep space operations. Key features include liquid crystal polymer insulators for wide temperature range operation, high current ratings per contact, integral blind mating, and multiple termination options.
