Two Connector Series from Amphenol Now Offer Higher Level of
Corrosion
Resistance
Ideal for use in ATEX and IECEx hazardous environments
Sidney, N.Y. February 2012
- Amphenol Industrial Global Operations, a global leader in
interconnect systems, expanded its
Starline EX
and
Amphe-EX
series of connectors to offer a higher level of corrosion
resistance for use in the most harsh environments. Designed
for
hazardous ATEX and IECEx
applications, these
rugged
connectorsare designed with exceptional mating
properties and are available in
high grade 316 stainless steel.
Used in oil and gas offshore platforms, FPSO turret mounting
equipment, marine environments and natural gas processing
equipment, Amphenol's Starline EX and Amphe-EX are threaded,
flameproof and fabricated to prevent the mixture of explosive
gases and the electrical circuits by means of tighter
tolerances in mated junctions.
Approved for Zone 1 rated applications, both the Starline EX
and Amphe-EX connectors eliminate hard wiring to terminal
blocks enclosed in junction boxes and provide quick and safe
interconnections to modular equipment.
Both the Starline EX and Amphe-EX offer temperature ranges of
-20°C to +55°C (T5 and T6 ratings available).

The Starline EX series offers the industry's broadest range
of backshell arrangements and contact inserts for power (up
to 1,135 amps at 1,000 V), signal (up to 143 contacts) and
mixed power control applications. All contact inserts are
interchangeable and reversible to suit specific needs.
The Starline EX series features a dielectric strength of
1,800 V.
The Amphe-EX series allow for small wire gauges (12 - 28 AWG)
and requires less space for interconnects. In addition to
standard copper contacts, this series offers RJ45 (USB
pending) and fiber optic connections in an ATEX and IECEx
approved interconnect solution.
Pricing for the Starline EX starts at $400 per mated set.
Pricing for the Amphe-EX
starts at $300 per mated set. Delivery is 8-10 weeks ARO.
