TE Connectivity’s high-power AMP MCP 9.5 two position connectors

Aug. 9, 2016 – TE Connectivity says its high-power AMP MCP 9.5 two position connectors are designed for harsh environment wire-to-wire and wire-to-circuit board connections.

Part of TE Industrial & Commercial Transportation’s portfolio of electrical connector solutions, AMP MCP 9.5 two position connectors claim to withstand the extreme conditions of the trucking, agricultural, mining, construction, and marine industries. The connectors utilize TE’s AMP MCP 9.5 contacts and have a current rating of 78 amps for 10 mm² wire. The position connectors are constructed of “heavy-duty thermoplastic and withstand severe vibration and mechanical shock,” says TE, adding that they are IP67 and IP69K rated to protect connections from dust, dirt, and moisture. As well, the position connectors feature a -30 to 100 C operating temperature range. Several mounting options are available, including inline, flange, sealed flange, and PCB mount — all of which don’t require tools, thanks to the clip-in mounting feature, says TE.
