Amphenol has always marked its place in the market by introducing innovations a step ahead. Besides being keen in bringing novel products to meet the demands of progressive applications, we always have maintained a range of legacy product brands that stand tall among others. BergStak®, Minitek®, and ExaMAX+® are a few such popular brands. This article discusses the newest additions to these families.

 

WireLock® 1.8mm Wire-To-Board

 

WireLock® 1.8mm Wire-To-Board connectors are an ideal solution to meet the needs for miniaturized, automotive grade interconnect solutions. These 1.80mm pitch compact connectors come with 4 coding types and related 4 color housings to avoid mismatching. With a nominal current carrying capacity of 3A and cable wire gauge from 22AWG to 26 AWG, these connectors are available in double row, 10 to 40 positions with vertical and horizontal TH and SMT configurations. The tin plating terminals provides low mating and umating forces. WireLock® 1.8mm Wire-To-Boardconnectors also feature Terminal-Position-Assurance (TPA) and Connector Positioning Assurance (CPA) ensuring secured mating, proper terminal insertion position, and retention. These USCAR-2 V2 compliant connectors are ideal for Battery Management Systems and EV power control applications, in automotive and industrial applications like material handling.

BergStak® Secure Connector

 

BergStak® secure connectors offer high signal safety assurance, high pin count density, high data transmission, and high reliability. These connectors are available in One-time-use and Multi-times-use versions. These secure connectors come with an advanced shielded design, patented lock features, and tamper-resistant screw, providing high signal safety assurance, superior EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) performance, making them a perfect choice for applications that need outstanding signal security and tamper proof connections. The 3-row contact design with 1.00mm pitch improves board surface utilization by 20% compared to 2row similar pitch connectors. The modular design supports applications using up to 3 sets of connectors on one board with a maximum of 333 pins per board. With data transmission up to 32Gb/s, these connectors can be used in high-end computing and high speed applications in data and telecommunication, medical technology, and industrial automation segments.

 

ExaMAX+® High-Speed Backplane Connector

 

The ExaMAX+® backplane connector system is designed to meet 56Gb/s PAM4 industry specifications while maintaining mating interface compatibility with previous ExaMAX® products. The optimized connector design delivers superior signal integrity performance resulting in lower crosstalk noise and higher insertion loss-to-crosstalk ratio. It also features an innovative beam-on-beam mating interface minimizing residual stub length for improved signal integrity performance along with providing exceptionally low mating forces. The Hermaphroditic mating interface also protects mating beams providing a durable, reliable mating interface design. These connectors are ideal for advanced applications in the data and communication industry and are also used in test equipment and emulation equipment industries.
