Benefiting from ITT Interconnect Solutions’ closed socket entry Mini Sure Seal contact system, new APM series connectors warrant quick and easy handling for commercial vehicle and industrial instrumentation applications (e.g. CAN-Bus).
APM series connectors feature up to 4 crimp contacts (up 0.75mm² cross section) and incorporate a plug, receptacle and separate inserts for secure contact secondary locking, ensuring excellent contact pin-to-socket alignment.
Positive mating and locking is supported by an audible ‘click' that indicates to the user that mating has been successful.
Designed for a wide variety of automotive (e.g. vehicle lighting clusters and anti lock brake systems) and industrial applications, APM series connectors feature no sharp edges, making them ideal to pass through cabin channels. The devices are suitable for voltages of up to 24VDC and feature a maximum current rating of 5A.
Contact resistance is less than 10mΩ, while insulation resistance is in excess of 1000MΩ. The components offer IP54 (and higher upon request) protection and are designed for an operating temperature range from -40 up to +105 °C. Simple extraction and assembly tools that are fully compatible with APM series connectors are available from ITT Interconnect Solutions.
Upon customer request ITT Interconnect Solutions can offer modifications of APM series connectors according to specific application requirements, various different pin-counts, other connector families and to cover from mA up to several 100A.
