Overview of the Amphenol ATM series
The Amphenol ATM series covers stable connectors for demanding environments. They resemble the markedly robust industrial connectors of the AT series from Amphenol. Unlike these, the connectors and sockets of the Amphenol ATM series have been designed for smaller cable diameters. Accordingly, the ATM connectors are usually more compact.
The ATM series has been designed for cable cross-sections from AWG 22 to AWG 16. Whereas the current carrying capacity in the AT series ranges up to 13 A, it is up to 7.5 A in the ATM series. Since these Amphenol connectors have a smaller design, they are often the better choice for applications where space is tight.
The connectors of the type series AT and ATM both belong to the general Amphenol A series. This encompasses a large range of waterproof connectors from IP 65 for demanding and tough environments. The chart below provides you with an overview of the product categories and composition of the ATM connectors.
Advantages of the Amphenol ATM series
These connectors are used where the focus is on cost efficiency and high resistance to environmental influences. Thanks to their robust design and despite their small format, this Amphenol connector series is especially suitable for the following main applications:
- Construction and agricultural machinery
- Commercial vehicles
- Shipbuilding
- Rail vehicles
- Military technology
- Alternative energies
The enormous tightness of these connectors proves itself in these applications. Seals on the front and rear prevent water and foreign objects from penetrating the connectors.
A further advantage of the Amphenol ATM series lies in its reliable plugging. This is because there is a snap-lock mechanism integrated into the housing. This ensures that there is an electrical and mechanical connection after plugging.
Easy configuration of connectors
Another advantage of these connectors from Amphenol is their modularity: They can be configured from the components housing, retaining wedge and crimp contact. The housings are available with or without strain relief and in various sizes and shapes. Next, a retaining wedge is selected for the appropriate shape and the required number of contacts. The suitable contact pins or contact sockets are selected as the third component.
Optionally, a suitable overmoulding can improve the lateral and rear protection of the connector. An alternative is to choose a complete set for connector or socket. Such sets include common combinations of housing, retaining wedge and crimp contacts. You can configure other connectors from the Amphenol A series in the same way.
