The AMP-DUAC PL-II
Connectors bring both
shielding and a power /
signal mix to the popular
AMP-DUAC product family.
In addition, the wider con-
tact spacing and the use of
high conductivity materials
results in a higher current
carrying capacity than
the original 4.2 mm pitch
AMP-DUAC product.
The deep back shell allows
for gathering the larger wire
and insulation diameters
involves with combination
power / signal and shield-
ing all in the same cable.
Traditional signal connec-
tors do not accept the
range of wire sizes covered
by the AMP-DUAC PL-II
product.
For applications involving
higher voltage cabled power
distribution, this product is
the ideal solution. The
AMP-DUAC PL-II connector
uses the original industry
proven dual-action contact
design which provides a
lower mating force and less
plating wear than alternate
contact designs. The signal
contacts also feature a
twin-cantilever beam that
mates on the milled contact
surface to provide low
plating wear and high long-
term reliability.
The cable mounted
receptacle uses the popular
“Positive Lock” devices
proven throughout the
automotive industry to
ensure all the contacts are
fully seated. The “positive
locks” are also referred to
as “terminal position
assurance”. If any one of
the contacts is not properly/
completely installed into the
housing, then the “Positive
Lock” can not be installed.
This feature reduces the
common concern of opera-
tor fatigue and the resulting
contact back-out which
occurs when a contact is
not properly seated.
The shielding system fully
encapsulates the inner
conductors and cable braids
and provides a reliable
conduction to the faceplate
of the mating equipment.
Finally, the cable retention
is accomplished through
two rear-accessed over
molded jackscrews for easy
installation and removal.
