| SCE is a miniature product with a silent push to mate and pull to release design across two
styles of cable receptacles. All inserts and contacts are moulded in place, achieving high
environmental sealing to IP68. The metalwork is machined from brass, giving an increased
number of mating cycles over traditional aluminium connectors.
The snatch push pull design is fully grounded and cannot be locked when mated, as the cable
receptacle has no moving parts, i.e. coupling nut, thus eliminating the path for the ingress of
moisture and dust to the interface. The latch push pull design can be non-grounded or
grounded and is locked when mated by rotating the coupling nut fitted to the cable receptacle
by 30°.
This coupling mechanism locks the connectors together, ensuring that they cannot be
inadvertently demated. Both are fitted with internal and external o-rings for sealing.
The chassis mounting plug remains unchanged to allow the user to select either a snatch or
latch cable receptacle without changing the equipment interface.
Scoop proof shell to shell keying is provided with five different key options of A, B, C, D and N
positions, to prevent mis-mating between shells of different operations.
Amphenol AirLB offers full cable harness solutions with overmoulding capabilities or, where
preferred, a heat shrink boot can be used. |
