AMPHENOL PCD
High-current connectors, EV charging systems and rugged interconnect solutions
About the manufacturer
Amphenol Pcd is part of Amphenol Corporation and designs interconnect solutions for commercial aerospace, military and industrial applications. Based in Beverly, Massachusetts, the company develops products for systems that require high reliability and operation under demanding conditions.
Its portfolio includes circular and rectangular connectors, junction modules, relay sockets, cable-attachment systems and cable assemblies. The company supplies both standard components and application-specific solutions.
The wider product range also includes high-current and e-mobility connectivity. Such systems must combine current-carrying capability with mechanical protection, thermal management and user safety.
Amphenol Pcd supplies OEMs worldwide and benefits from Amphenol’s global engineering and manufacturing network. This supports use in traditional aerospace and defense systems as well as newer electric-vehicle charging and power-distribution platforms.
Applications
Amphenol Pcd solutions are used where connections must remain reliable under high electrical or mechanical loads. Typical applications include:
– e-mobility – cables and connectors for electric-vehicle charging;
– commercial aerospace – interconnects, junction modules and onboard wiring systems;
– military systems – connectors and accessories for harsh environments;
– industrial equipment – power and signal connections in machinery and control systems;
– power distribution – high-current cable and modular connections;
– vehicles and charging infrastructure – high-power DC connections and temperature-monitored charging solutions.
