Amphenol PT, SP, and MS/PT Series Miniature Cylindrical Connectors

Amphenol PT, SP, and MS/PT Series Miniature Cylindrical Connectors are designed for general duty and environmental applications in both industrial and military markets. These connectors offer a compact solution with twice the number of contacts in half the size of standard connectors. They are ideal for applications requiring environmental sealing, achieved through robust grommet and clamp designs. Key advantages include a wide operating temperature range of 55C to +125C, high dielectric strength, moisture barrier properties, and machined, gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance and extended shelf life. The series includes bayonet coupling with solder or crimp termination options, and some models meet MIL-DTL-26482, Series 1 specifications. They are intermateable with all miniature series connectors.
