Durable Amphenol FC1212P2AA connector designed for power and signal management in harsh environments
Product Overview
The Positronic SP Max connector series is engineered for robust power and signal management in demanding environments, including military, space, satellite, and commercial aviation. These connectors feature precision-machined shells offering EMI/RFI protection and the flexibility to accommodate a variety of contact sizes (#12, #16, #18, and #22) within a single connector. Designed for performance compatibility with EN4165, ESA/ESCC-3401, and DO-160 standards, the SP Max series provides reliable solutions for power and signal I/O, LRUs, battery and solar power distribution, and high-wattage power supplies in harsh operational conditions.
