Amphenol Aerospace Differential Twinax Contacts

Amphenol Aerospace Differential Twinax Contacts facilitate high-speed data transmission with low power consumption and strong EMI shielding. These contacts utilize two inner contacts to create matched impedance differential pairs of 100Ω or 150Ω, while the durable outer contact enhances reliability. The Twinax contacts are available in size 8 crimp termination style with PC tails, and modifications to MIL-DTL-38999 connectors are required for proper fitting. These contacts operate within a temperature range from -65°C to 175°C, and support a maximum voltage rating of 500V. Typical applications include military and aerospace systems, high-speed data communication, and environments where EMI performance is critical.
