Amphenol Industrial Amphe-Lite M3 Circular MIL-Spec Connectors

Amphenol Industrial Amphe-Lite M3 Circular MIL-Spec Connectors are designed to obtain metal-to-metal coupling for superior EMI shielding capability. Amphe-Lite Metal is 100% scoop-proof and features high-density contact arrangements. This Amphenol Industrial connector series provides self-locking, quick disconnect threaded coupling as well as locksmith keying. The five key-way polarization of these connectors provides five alternate rotations. This circular connector series also features corrosion resistance. Shells of Gray ZnNi playing can withstand a 500-hour salt spray exposure. Moisture resistance through an improved interfacial seal design prevents electrolytic erosion of contacts.
