Key Features:
1. Service Class F Amphe-Lite M3 uses superior silicone seals providing increased fluid resistance.
2. Provides excellent EMI shielding and grounding through 100% metal to metal bottoming.
3. Acme threads provide coupling durability. Completely mates in one 360-degree turn of the coupling nut to provide
the fastest and easiest equipment assembly and maintenance possible.
4. Recessed pins minimize potential contact damage in this 100% scoop-proof connector. In a blind mating
application, mating shells cannot scoop the pins and cause a shorting or bending of contacts.
5. A rigid dielectric insert provides durable protection to the contacts.
6. With Gray ZnNi Plating the connector can reach 500 hours of salt spray resistance and is RoHS compliant.
