TE Connectivity's new AMP Max connectors offer a current carrying capacity of up to 32 A and hot-plug compatibility, enabling more efficient and safe handling of high currents at the board level. These features make the connectors ideal for industrial technology and building automation applications requiring continuous and reliable operation.
Furthermore, the AMP Max industrial connectors support a nominal voltage of up to 600 V AC/DC and feature a compact 5.7 mm pitch, facilitating high-power transmission even in space-constrained installations. This combination of small size and high electrical performance optimizes integration into industrial equipment and advanced electronic systems.
Robust solution for demanding industrial environments.
TE Connectivity has designed the AMP Max connectors with a reinforced construction that ensures a long service life and stable performance even in harsh environmental conditions. The range includes versions with a sealed soft housing, providing enhanced protection against dust, moisture, and vibration.
For demanding outdoor or industrial applications, the connectors incorporate screw-lock options with IP67 protection, improving water resistance and seal integrity. IP65 and IP56 variants are also available for less severe environments, as well as unsealed versions for standard applications.
Coating Options and Design Flexibility:
AMP Max connectors offer a variety of coating options to suit diverse industrial and cost requirements. The tinned version allows up to 30 mating cycles and is a cost-effective solution for conventional applications. Meanwhile, the PdNi + Au flash coated variants support more than 100 mating cycles and provide high corrosion resistance in harsher environments.
Compatibility with wire sizes from AWG 10 to AWG 20 expands integration possibilities in a wide range of electronic and industrial designs.
Designed for automation and high-volume production
, AMP Max connectors are specifically developed for automated pick-and-place processes, facilitating efficient, high-volume manufacturing. Configuration options include sealed and unsealed pin connectors compatible with Through Hole Reflow (THR) processes, simplifying integration into automated production lines.
TE Connectivity also plans to introduce Surface Mount Technology (SMT) variants by the end of 2027, depending on market demand.
Secure Connection and Flexible Mounting:
AMP Max connectors are available with vertical and horizontal alignment for greater design flexibility. They incorporate Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) technology and secondary locking mechanisms that improve pull-out strength and connection security.
In addition, multiple coding systems help prevent mating errors, while quick-mount options reduce installation and maintenance time.
Certifications and International Regulatory Compliance:
Manufactured with low-halogen materials, AMP Max connectors comply with EN 60335-1, the standard for electrical appliance safety, and exceed glow wire test requirements. They also hold international UL, CSA, and TÜV certifications, guaranteeing compliance with global quality and safety standards for industrial and energy applications.
