Amphenol Industrial Operations, one of the leading interconnect suppliers to Industrial markets around the world and a worldwide leader in explosion proof and hazardous environment interconnects, welcomes this new product to it’s current offering of harsh environment interconnect solutions. Amphe-Ex is a new, miniature, explosion-proof threaded connector specifically designed to allow a signal to pass through Zone rated areas using coax, fiber optic cables, or standard copper.

AMPHE-EX connectors are made from machined aluminum components, and plated in a hard anodic coating designed to withstand the most extreme environments. Double-lead acme threads allow for a self cleaning mating action that does not clog under adverse conditions of ice, snow, mud or sand.

These connectors combine electrical and mechanical capabilities that equal or exceed many of the parameters established by the Military
specification MIL-5015.

The new Amphe-EX™ is complimentary to Amphenol’s industry-proven Star-Line EX™. AMPHE-EX Connector Series is designed for use in ATEX and IECex rated areas. and are equipped to handle signal, power, RF or fiber optic requirements in the most harsh environments. AMPHE-EX connectors offer a complete array of insert patterns, ranging from 2 # 20 contacts, right up through 79 # 22D contacts, and everything in between.

Chemical Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Petrochemical Refineries, Land and Offshore Drilling Platforms are just a few of the areas that the new AMPHE-EX Series will provide increased performance.
