Economical Combination of Thermoplastic UL 94V-0 rated Connector Housings and Metal Shells
AMP Metal-Shell Circular Plastic Connectors offer the reliability of higher priced all metal connectors at a fraction of the cost and are offered in the more popular contact configurations. Connector housings are made of lightweight, sturdy, thermoplastic materials that are UL 94V-0 rated, with zinc alloy, and nickel-plated shells for added strength and protection. These connectors are available in a variety of configurations to meet your signal, low-current, and high-current requirements. These quick connect/disconnect circular connectors feature polarized housings to prevent mismating with other insert arrangements. AMP Metal-Shell Circular Plastic Connectors are available in square flange receptacles and free hanging plug connectors.
