Overview

Key Benefits:

AMP MCP Unsealed Connector Housings

  • High Design Flexibility: Offers configurations with 1 to 48 positions, allowing for a broad range of vehicle system designs, including wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, bulkhead, and control unit applications.
  • Integrated Secondary Locking: Ensures proper contact alignment and retention, reducing the risk of contact misalignment during assembly and in high-vibration environments.
  • Flame-Retardant Materials: Select versions of the connectors are constructed with UL94 V-0-rated materials, enhancing safety by reducing fire risk in high-heat or electrically active areas.
  • Reduced Mating Force: The 18-position Monoblock connector features a lever-assisted design that lowers the mating force to less than 75N, simplifying the connection process and reducing wear during repeated operations.
  • Vibration Resistance: Engineered for cabin-level vibration resistance, these connectors are suitable for demanding environments like construction, agriculture, and off-road vehicle applications, ensuring long-term connection reliability.
  • Polarization and Keying: Up to 6 polarization and color-coding configurations are available, preventing mismatching and ensuring quick, error-free connections.
  • High Current Handling: With contact systems such as AMP MCP 1.5K SWS Terminal (up to 20A), AMP MCP 2.8 SWS Terminal (up to 40A), and AMP MCP 9.5 contacts (up to 80A), the connectors support high-current power distribution systems without compromising performance.
AMP MCP housings are available in several keying options and housing colors.

Real-world Applications:

AMP MCP Connector Housings

  • Commercial Vehicle Electrical Systems: Provides robust electrical connections in non-sealed environments such as in-cabin and bulkhead locations of trucks and buses. Supports higher-current applications (wire size up to 10mm²) using AMP MCP 9.5 contacts, PCON12 terminals supporting up to 16mm² wires, making it suited for powering essential vehicle systems like infotainment, telematics, and lighting.
  • Agricultural Machinery: Suitable for wire-to-wire and control-unit connections in tractors and other agricultural equipment, where moderate environmental exposure requires durable, vibration-resistant, and cost-effective connectors without the need for sealing.
  • Construction Equipment: Used in the electrical systems of heavy-duty construction machinery, providing reliable connections for control units, bulkhead interfaces, and wire-to-board applications, with enhanced vibration resistance for long-term reliability in rugged environments.
  • Off-Road and Recreational Vehicles (ATV/UTV): The connectors support applications in all-terrain vehicles, providing flexible, unsealed solutions for power distribution and signal connectivity in systems such as engine control, lighting, and display units, where high current and reliable performance are essential.
  • Fuse and Relay Boxes: Employed in the interior electrical infrastructure of commercial and industrial vehicles for non-sealed fuse and relay box installations, ensuring secure connections in spaces with limited environmental exposure.
  • Control Units in Industrial Vehicles: Utilized for secure, high-performance connections in control units of industrial vehicles (e.g., forklifts, cranes), where the connectors handle the vibration and power needs of critical vehicle systems without the need for sealing.
