Custom Capabilities
Backplane Assembly & System Integration
APPLICATION
Traditional High Speed Copper Backplane for IT Datacom installation
PROBLEM
A complete backplane system was required from design through production with cost optimization on the PCB and DFX on the Assembly
SOLUTION
Amphenol BSI proposed a Backplane system concept, then provided mechanical, SI, and signal layout specifications supported by a test and assembly solution to ensure high performance & high reliability in the production environment
Crimped Leads
PROBLEM
A cost effective and fast way for Wire to Board prototyping
APPLICATION
Any application requiring industry proven Wire to Board interconnect
SOLUTION
A range of crimped leads to facilitate fast and easy prototyping-
Instant available from stock -
30cm of wire with contacts on both ends
-
Wide variety of wire sizes: 18 to 28AWGV
Custom Power Made Eazy!
PROBLEM
Design a field terminable connector that can withstand outdoor conditions
APPLICATION
Wireless 5G networking tower
SOLUTION
We designed a custom connector that met all requirements.-
Field termination
-
Water-tight seal
-
Provides 125A at 12V
Meet PwrMAX®
APPLICATION
Data Centers
PROBLEM
A data center application needed one connector capable of carrying both AC and DC power contacts
SOLUTION
Our engineers created the concept of a hybrid cable/board mount AC-DC connector which allowed the application to combine both low and high voltage in a single connector while saving precious real estate in the system
Thinking Outside
The Box
APPLICATION
Telecommunications/ Networking
PROBLEM
A telecommunications power application required a unique connector which could carry over 100A and stay within specific space limitations
SOLUTION
Our engineers created a custom connector made with components from our popular PwrBlade ULTRA® and PwrBlokTM connectors. The end result gave the added performance and functionality that was needed.
Cabled Backplane System
APPLICATION
Cabled Backplane System
PROBLEM
A traditional PCB midplane system required an improvement in SI performance. Twin ax cables provided the SI improvement but resulted in a mechanical challenge. How can cabled harnesses have the same blind mate functionality as a PCB midplane?
SOLUTION
Our engineers worked closely with the customer and together engineered a cabled midplane with structured harnesses that performs the same mechanically in the chassis as a traditional PCB midplane.
Smart Custom Solutions
APPLICATION
Automotive
PROBLEM
An Automotive application required a cost-effective hybrid solution for their assembly machine
SOLUTION
Our engineers designed a hybrid solution with customized power header, standard signal header, and one housing to shroud both headers, optimizing design and cost in the process
Plating Technologies
Innovative Plating Solutions
GXT®, our preferred plating alternative to Gold, adds Palladium and Nickel to the mix to create a cost effective but equally efficient solution for a quality connection. Our 30+ years of commitment to offer GXT®-plated products will help to bring the best cost-quality balance into your automotive designs.
Innovative Plating Solutions
Interconnects plated with silver provide a higher current rating due to its low contact resistance. In addition, silver tolerates much higher temperatures and is more economical than gold.
This is why it is the preferred plating solution in electric vehicles and standard automobiles. Our silver plating solutions come in two proprietary versions, GCS® and AGT®.
Lead-free Solutions
Since the turn of the 21st century, connector tail-plating is being done on tin to make it lead-free.
However connector tails can grow “tin whiskers”, which are microscopic projections that can impede the reliability of connection over time. Our research to prevent whiskergrowth helped us land a solution based on matte-tin which were then tested on our products against automotive constraints like heat, humidity, and aging.
AGT®
AGT® is a hard-silver deposit plated over a nickel deposit with an organic anti-tarnish and a proprietary surface treatment of a PAO lubricant.GCS®
GCS® is a hard-silver deposit plated over a nickel deposit with a metallic anti-tarnish layer plated over the silver and a proprietary surface treatment of a PAO lubricant.
PCB Mount Termination Expertise
Press-fit (PF)
Press-fit technology plays a key role in offering reliable signal and high power transmissions within automobiles and electric vehicles. For this reason, we bring you our press and manufacturing expertise in PCB contacts and busbars. PCB contacts are tooled in various hole sizes.
Surface Mount (SMT)
Space-saving Surface Mount connections are inevitable in today’s automotive electronics as they help to realize dense mezzanine board designs in Electronic Control Units. We offer SMT technology in standard and custom interconnects.
Ball-Grid Array (BGA)
We introduced Ball-Grid Array SMT technology to the world. We continue to apply this expertise to the world of automotive mezzanine PCB designs.
