Send higher current than M5, M8, and M12 connectors near tough industrial jobs, such as welding and metal machining. These mini connectors have a stainless steel housing or TPE cable that resists abrasion and cracking from exposure to water, chemicals, oil, coolant, or weld slag. They’re commonly used to send power and signal to automated systems, motors, and pumps. A threaded housing securely mates with other mini connectors to keep out contaminants and won’t come loose from shaking or vibration. They have a standard pole layout and housing thread size to reduce the chance you’ll mis-mate connectors.

When mated, these connectors meet IP67 and NEMA 6P for protection against dust, submersion, washdowns, and weather.

Plugs and sockets have a flexible cable that is good for applications with continuous motion, such as robotics.

Receptacles thread into panels and walls, so they work well in stationary or permanent installations.

Caps protect connectors and maintain their IP and NEMA ratings when not in use.

Thread adapters connect plugs and sockets that both have internal threads.

A sealed polystyrene plastic housing protects connectors from weather. All come assembled with wire leads already installed so they can be quickly added to existing wiring systems. Each set includes one male plug and one female socket. A locking tab keeps them securely in place when mated.

Rated to MIL-DTL-5015 specifications, these connectors are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They can withstand high-vibration applications and frequent connection and disconnection. All come assembled with pins and sockets in place. When mating connectors, both the gender and housing thread location must be opposite.

Caps (sold separately) protect connectors when not in use.

Rated to MIL-DTL-26482 specifications, these connectors are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They lock in place with a quarter turn to remain secure in high-vibration environments. All come assembled with pins and sleeves in place; poles are numbered. When mating, the gender and housing lock location must be opposite.

Connectors secure with a quarter turn when mated, yet unlock and pull apart with minimal force. All have the same pin and socket configurations as MIL-DTL-26482, so they are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They’re rated IP67 to protect against dust and temporary submersion. When mating connectors, the gender and housing lock location must be opposite. Poles are labeled with letters on the face of the connectors to ensure proper connection.

Crimpers (sold separately) are required for wire installation.

Configure a connector for your application—combine male and female inserts with a base and a hood. Select components based on the number of poles needed. To protect connections while maintaining access, the base and hood latch together securely, yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement. Once assembled, these connectors are rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65 for protection against corrosion, washdowns, dirt, oil/coolant dripping, and water projected from a nozzle.

Protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

Latching connectors with one latching lever quickly disconnect with one hand. Connectors with two latching levers don’t need as much room to unlatch as connectors with one latching lever and are best for tight spaces.

Latching connectors with cord grips secure cable and protect it from strain. Choose connectors with two cord grips to create a disconnection point on curved or compact equipment that cannot have a panel cutout.

NEMA 4X rated connectors protect against washdowns. NEMA 12 rated connectors resist oil/coolant dripping. IP65 rated connectors protect against dust and rinsing. IP66 rated connectors protect against washdowns.

Rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65, connectors protect against corrosion, washdowns, oil/coolant dripping, and water projected from a nozzle. They have a rubber seal and stainless steel hardware for excellent chemical resistance. Use them to protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely, yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

Connect wires to circuit boards with Molex Mini-Fit push-in connectors. These connectors are easier to detach than Amphenol PV connectors, so they’re often used for prototyping. A complete connector consists of a sleeve housing, sleeves, and a circuit board plug (all sold separately). To assemble these connectors, crimp sleeves onto your wires, then place them inside a sleeve housing. Once you’ve wired the sleeve housing, slide it onto a circuit board plug.

Plugs have an alignment key that ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can’t get a good look during installation. A locking tab holds the housing and plug together once they’re mated. To install the plug on your circuit board, push the contacts through the board’s holes and solder them in place. All plugs have gold-plated brass pins, which are more corrosion resistant than tin- or nickel-plated pins, so the electrical connection lasts longer. Plugs with snap-in pegs relieve stress on the terminal when plugging and unplugging wires.

Extraction tools release the locking mechanism on sleeves to remove them from housings.

Connect wires to your circuit board with these Molex KK push-in connectors. A good choice for prototyping, they require less force to disassemble than Amphenol PV connectors. However, this means that they are less secure in more demanding applications.

For a complete connection, choose a plug and housing with the number of poles that matches the number of wires you need to connect. You’ll also need one sleeve for each wire.

Plugs have a friction clip to securely hold the housing when mated. They also have an alignment key that ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can’t get a good look during installation. To install the plug on your circuit board, push the contacts through the board’s holes and solder them in place. The pins are gold-plated brass, so they resist corrosion better than tin- or nickel-plated pins. This means they’ll have a good, long-lasting electrical connection.

Insertion tools (sold separately) are helpful for assembling small wires.

Extraction tools (sold separately) release the locking mechanism on sleeves to remove them from housings.

Attach wires to your circuit board with these Amphenol PV connectors. They push together, so they're easy to connect and disconnect yet still give you a strong, secure hold. Even after repeated use, they won’t lose their connection strength. First designed for use in solar power—the PV stands for photovoltaic—they’re also used in equipment ranging from small electronics to industrial robots.
