Amphe-Power Connectors with RADSOK technology

Product catalog summary
Overview of RADSOK® Technology:
RADSOK® technology features a unique hyperbolic socket design that enhances electrical contact by providing a large surface area for engagement. This design ensures high current flow with minimal voltage loss, making it ideal for applications requiring repeated mating cycles and high current capacity.
Design and Advantages:
  • The RADSOK® design utilizes a stamped and formed flat grid twisted into a hyperbolic shape, leveraging both spring and tensile strength properties for robust contact.
  • It offers low voltage drop, low temperature rise, and low insertion forces, contributing to high reliability and durability.
  • Standard RADSOK® products support current capacities from 50 to over 1000 amps, with silver as the typical contact plating.
Applications:
  • RADSOK® technology is used in various sectors including aerospace, medical, industrial, automotive, and more.
  • It is suitable for high current PCBs, communication towers, power distribution modules, and hybrid electric vehicles, among others.
Product Offerings:
  • Amphenol offers a range of connectors with RADSOK® technology, including standard and custom-developed solutions.
  • Connectors are available with various positive-locking features and environmental protection options.
Key Specifications:
  • Standard contact plating is typically Silver (Ag), with other options available.
  • RADSOK® contacts offer 50% more ampacity compared to traditional designs.
  • High reliability and low contact resistance due to the unique design.
  • Durability of up to 200,000 mating cycles with specialized plating and lubricants.
Product Families:
  • Amphe-Power® Series: Includes P-Lok, GT, and 5015 connector styles, supporting up to 1000A continuous duty.
  • Features include rapid mating, environmental sealing, and a variety of plating options.
Connector Types and Features:

Catalog excerpts

Amphe-Power Connectors with RADSOK technology-1

Amphe-Power Connectors with RADSOK® Technology • Socket cylinder within female contact has several equally spaced longitudinal beams twisted into a hyperbolic shape. • As male pin is inserted, axial members in the female half deflect, imparting high current flow across the connection with minimal voltage loss. • The hyperbolic, stamped grid configuration ensures a large, coaxial, face-to-face surface area engagement. RADSOK® technology is based upon a stamped and formed flat grid, uniquely twisted into a hyperbolic geometry to provide robust, high density contact to the mating pin contact. Most pin and socket technologies rely upon spring (beam element) properties of the contact elements, which tend to weaken over time. Unlike most other pin and socket solutions, the RADSOK® also utlilizes the tensile strength properties of the flat, high conductivity alloy grid. This provides the high normal forces required for conductivity while also providing large conductive surface area. Correspondingly low voltage drop and low temperature rise are also achieved while maintaining low insertion forces.
