AMP Type Connectors

Specialist in spare parts, AutoTruck42 offers a wide range of parts and accessories for heavy goods vehicles, but also for utility cars. The expertise and know-how of our team guarantee the performance and reliability of our products. Discover our sub-category of automotive connectors, AMP type connectors.

Definition and application

Automotive connectors are accessories that are integrated into the electrical circuits of cars. Connecting cables and wires, connectors facilitate electrical assembly and at the same time protect the circuits in question. Fulfilling these functionalities, connectors are distinguished into several types depending on the desired purpose and the type of assembly.

AMP type connectors are then unique due to their targeted use. In fact, AMP type connectors are specially designed for cable to cable or cable to card. AMP connectors are designed with materials that are resistant to high temperatures, and which also provide optimal sealing. We then encounter:

•          AMP connectors in PBT, family of thermoplastic polyester, reinforced with fiberglass
•          Silicone rubber AMP connectors.
•          Tin AMP connectors
•          Silver AMP connectors

AMP connectors constitute a series of connectors and then have numerous derivations including in particular the number of positions.

The   AMP connectors are applicable to AC and DC power supplies as well as charging systems.

Good to know

The AMP type connectors are then assigned for a specific use. However, this particularity does not in any way hinder the versatility of this type of connector. Indeed, going from one vehicle to another, from heavy goods vehicles to boats, AMP connectors are still widely used.

Their particularity of AMP type connectors provides dazzling performance for use on the gearbox, the chassis and the actuation of hydraulic pumps.

Characteristic

AMP type connectors are known for their easy and easy use. From the outset, AMP type connectors fit more into a PCB or printed circuit board mount, in-line mount, and flange or sealed flange mount.

Subsequently, AMP type connectors are easy to handle. In fact, the assembly and installation of connectors are guided and facilitated by color codes in general. Indeed, the boxes of different colors correspond to a given configuration. Furthermore, the robustness and reliability of the connections are ensured by the existence of secondary locks.

AMP series connectors can connect or disconnect high current voltage lines ranging from 15 A to 175 A.

Performance

AMP type connectors are very good connectors. Their performance is demonstrated by the withstand voltage of the connectors without overflow up to 500 V and at a frequency of 50 Hz for AMP type connectors with two connections. Which complies with European standards.

AMP type connectors are also the ideal allies for rough roads because the housings and lugs of these connectors are highly resistant to vibrations. With AMP type connectors as connectors, physical damage   and function overrides   and the risks of circuit opening are not to be feared.

Subjected to harsh tests, AMP connectors also withstand increases in temperature. In this mechanical and electrical interplay, AMP connectors operate optimally over a temperature range from -30°C to over 100°C.

In addition to these three facts, AMP type connectors have a durability spanning more than 50 cycles.
