Ground Blocks
Combining advanced materials with an elegant design, Amphenol Pcd’s
Ground Blocks provide the lightest weight, highest density grounding solution
available in the market today. Wired connections are environmentally-sealed,
providing protection from moisture, spray, and debris. Unused connections
are protected via Amphenol Pcd’s patented FODSeal Technology, which
replaces the sealing plugs - reducing FOD, weight and part count. Amphenol
Pcd’s Ground Blocks are ideal for use in harsh environments typically found
in aircraft, ground vehicle and naval applications.
