These connectors are a versatile solution for one, two, or three-phase applications, accommodating up to five contacts. They also feature a dedicated ground contact.
The Amphe-PRB series connectors are suitable for a wide range of applications in industries such as alternative energy, telecommunications and anything powered by electric motors, including electric or hybrid vehicles.
The Amphe-PRB series provides an alternative to traditional metallic circular connectors, featuring a lightweight thermoplastic design, making these connectors both durable and cost-effective.
The thermoplastic shell is UL F1-rated for outdoor use, offering resistance to ultraviolet light, water exposure and immersion. These features make the connectors suitable for challenging environments where ruggedness and reliability are critical.
Safety is a top priority with the Amphe-PRB connector, as it is designed to be touch-proof. Its rugged construction ensures durability and the ability to withstand exposure to moisture – it comes with an IP67 rating. The Amphe-PRB series also offers both crimp and set screw terminations using standard contacts.
One of its most notable characteristics is the quick positive coupling enabled by its reverse bayonet design. This feature allows for a secure connection that reduces installation time, making it easier to ensure a solid, stable connection in high-vibration environments.
Additionally, the Amphe-PRB connectors are rated to withstand shocks and vibrations up to 15g, which is critical for applications where consistent connectivity is essential, such as in industrial automation and heavy equipment.
The series has an ingress protection rating of IP67, ensuring that the connectors are fully protected from dust and can withstand immersion in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes. This makes these connectors suitable for outdoor and harsh environment applications. The connectors are also UV-resistant and meet the UL F1 standard for UV degradation resistance, which is crucial for components exposed to outdoor conditions.
Specifications include reverse bayonet couplings, an operating voltage of 600V AC Max, a current rating of 46A to 60A, IP2X touch-proof contacts and crimp termination. Certifications include UL94-V0, and the wire size is 8 to 6 AWG (8-16 mm²).
