APC Series Circular Connectors
Lightweight, IP67 Connectivity for Demanding Industrial Applications
When your application requires reliable power and signal connectivity without the weight and corrosion concerns of traditional metal connectors, the Amphenol APC Series offers a lightweight alternative designed for demanding industrial environments.
The APC Series combines rugged thermoplastic construction, IP67 environmental protection, fast coupling, and multiple contact configurations to give engineers flexibility when designing equipment for industrial automation, energy storage, material handling, HVAC, transportation, instrumentation, and other applications.
NEW! 18-10 Insert Configuration
The APC Series has expanded with a new 18-10 insert arrangement, providing 10 size 16 contacts in a compact circular connector. The new configuration is available in receptacle and straight-plug versions, giving designers additional options for panel, enclosure, and cable-side integration.
18-10 Configuration Highlights include:
- 10 size 16 contacts
- 600 VAC operating voltage
- 2,500 VAC dielectric withstand voltage
- 16–18 AWG wire
- IP67 protection when mated
- Front-mount and rear-mount receptacle options
- Straight plug configuration
Key Features
The APC Series uses lightweight, corrosion-resistant thermoplastic housings with stamped-and-formed contacts. Depending on configuration, the family offers triple-start ACME thread, double-start ACME thread, or bayonet coupling, supporting fast and secure mating. The series is rated for -40°C to +105°C, 500 mating cycles, vibration up to 2,000 Hz, and 50G mechanical shock.
Additional features include:
- IP67 environmental protection
- UL94 V-0 flammability rating
- F1 UV resistance
- RoHS compliance
- UL and TÜV certifications
- Crimp termination
- Tin, silver, or gold-plated contacts
