Frequently asked questions
AMPSEAL 16 Connector with Coaxial Terminal Headers
Q: What makes AMPSEAL 16 Connector with Coaxial Terminal Headers suitable for harsh industrial and transportation environments?
A: AMPSEAL 16 Connector with Coaxial Terminal Headers are designed with IP67 sealing to protect against water, dust, and contaminants. Their shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), and they operate reliably in a broad temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, making them suited for challenging environments.
Q: How do AMPSEAL 16 Connector with Coaxial Terminal Headers enhance data connectivity in industrial applications?
A: These headers feature a 50-Ohm impedance for stable signal integrity, providing reliable communication in telematics, infotainment systems, and diagnostics. The cable-to-board configuration and flexible mounting options (right-angle and vertical) support seamless integration into modern industrial systems.
Q: What configurations and features are available for AMPSEAL 16 Connector with Coaxial Terminal Headers?
A: AMPSEAL 16 Connector with Coaxial Terminal Headers are available in 1, 4, and 5-position configurations, with right-angle or vertical PCB mounting options. They include features like water-blue housing for easy identification, tin-plated outer contacts for durability, and tray packaging for efficient assembly.
Frequently asked questions
AMPSEAL 16 Connector with Coaxial Terminal Housings
Q: What are the key advantages of AMPSEAL 16 Connector Housings in harsh environments?
A: AMPSEAL 16 Connector Housings are designed for rugged conditions with IP67/IP69K-rated sealing (when used with backshells), providing reliable protection against dust and water. They also feature robust thermoplastic construction, providing resistance to vibration, mechanical shock, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C.
Q: Which cable types are compatible with AMPSEAL 16 Connector Housings?
A: The housings support standard 50-ohm RTK031 and RG174 coaxial cables, commonly used in automotive and industrial applications. This compatibility simplifies integration into existing coaxial architectures.
Q: How do the housings simplify assembly and maintenance?
A: AMPSEAL 16 Connector Housings include an integrated family seal, which eliminates the need for additional sealing components like heat-shrink tubing. The CPA (Connector Position Assurance) latch and primary latch reinforcement (PLR) provide secure contact positioning, reducing the risk of misalignment and simplifying both assembly and maintenance processes.
Q: What configurations and connection options are available?
A: AMPSEAL 16 connector housings are available in cable-to-cable, bulkhead mount, and cable-to-board/device configurations. They also come in four color-coded keying options, which help reduce assembly errors and support versatile application requirements.
Q: What types of industrial and commercial transportation applications are these housings used for?
A: AMPSEAL 16 connector housings are widely used in:
- Agriculture: Connecting GPS, telemetry units, and precision farming sensors.
- Construction: Providing reliable connections for control modules and safety cameras in heavy machinery.
- Trucking: Supporting telematics, infotainment, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
- Public Transportation: Powering passenger information systems, surveillance cameras, and battery management in buses.
