Product Details

EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE ASSEMBLER OF AMPHE-EXTM CIRCULAR CONNECTORS

Amphenol explosion proof connector series Amphe-EXTM is ATEX and IECex-approved for Zone 1-rated (Europe) (IECex 60079). Amphenol Amphe-EXTM are the only EX explosion proof hazardous area threaded connectors that allow a signal to pass through Zone rated areas using the use of copper, coax and fibre optic contacts in one product. These circular connectors are equipped to handle signal, power, or RF requirements in industrial and harsh environments.

PEI-Genesis is the only approved worldwide assembling distributor. See the specifications below for a full listing of Amphenol Amphe-EXTM explosion proof connector features and certifications.

Features

  • Material
    The shells are machined from high-tensile strength aluminum and plated with a hard anodic coating or stainless steel to withstand the most extreme environments.
  • Contact Types
    There are many sizes and types with different contact configurations that can be used on this connector series. Insert patterns ranging from 2 to 79 contacts include RF, fibre optic, and coaxial.
  • Mating System
    The Double-Lead Acme threaded coupling systems ensure a positive mating which allows for self-cleaning mating action and does not clog with ice, mud, snow, or sand. Inserts are compatible with the D38999 series III layouts up to shell size 21.
  • Keying
    Additional keying of the shells ensure that mis-mating of similar connectors does not occur in explosive environments.
  • Physical Size
    Smaller interface than most heavy-duty, hazardous-rated connectors.
  • Ease of Assembly
    Conductors are easily terminated to the contacts with ample space to slip cable housing over conductors to eliminate seating of inserts and cumbersome handling.
  • Accomodation of Various Cable Types
    The cable gland terminations allow for the use of various types of cable in the construction such as unarmored, armored, and sheathed cable. Flexible cables such as SOOW-A,W, G-GC and DLO can also be used.
  • Approvals
    ATEX for Zone 1-IIC, IECex, and Centelec IP68-rated.
