Amphe-PD™ | Power Distribution Connector for Demanding Systems

Rugged Power Distribution Connector for Harsh Environments

The Amphe-PD™ Series is a high-performance power distribution connector engineered to deliver safe and reliable power in harsh, demanding applications. Designed by Amphenol Industrial Operations, this series supports high-voltage and high-current requirements across a wide range of rugged environments, including electric vehicles, hybrid platforms, heavy-duty machinery, and power generation systems.

Utilizing Amphenol’s proven RADSOK® technology, the Amphe-PD™ provides superior current-carrying capabilities, low contact resistance, and consistent performance in high-vibration conditions. This makes it an ideal power distribution connector for mission-critical applications where failure is not an option.

Compact, Scalable, and Easy to Install

The Amphe-PD™ power distribution connector features a modular, scalable design that simplifies installation while supporting both standard and custom power needs. Its robust architecture offers up to 3 power contacts and 2 signal contacts in a compact form factor. A two-stage contact system supports both primary power and auxiliary signaling within a single housing, eliminating the need for separate connectors and reducing space and weight.

The connector is available in straight or right-angle configurations and supports panel mounting, further enhancing installation flexibility for OEM engineers and system integrators.

Sealed to Perform in the Toughest Conditions

Built for demanding industrial environments, the Amphe-PD™ connector is fully sealed to IP67 and IP69K ratings. It withstands water ingress, dust exposure, road salt, and vibration, making it well-suited for outdoor and mobile equipment. The integrated strain relief and robust shell design ensure long-term durability even in off-road and on-highway applications.

Combined with a wide operating temperature range and resistance to fuels and chemicals, the Amphe-PD™ delivers consistent performance in energy storage systems, electric drivetrain platforms, and industrial power distribution applications.

RADSOK® Technology for High Current Performance

At the heart of the Amphe-PD™ is Amphenol’s proprietary RADSOK® contact system. RADSOK® delivers up to 50% more current-carrying capacity compared to traditional contacts of the same size, thanks to its unique hyperbolic geometry. This ensures low insertion force, minimal contact resistance, and reliable mating across the connector’s lifecycle.

RADSOK® technology is particularly well-suited for environments requiring frequent mating cycles or where system reliability is paramount, such as electric vehicle powertrains, battery modules, and distributed energy systems.

Application Versatility Across Electrified Platforms

The Amphe-PD™ power distribution connector is widely adopted across several key industries. From fleet electrification and hybrid vehicle systems to industrial automation and energy storage, the connector’s ruggedness and performance make it the preferred solution for system designers and OEMs alike.

Its scalable contact design and customizable layouts allow it to be tailored for specific voltage, current, and signal requirements. This flexibility makes the Amphe-PD™ Series an enabling technology for electrified infrastructure that demands more than standard interconnect solutions can provide.

Enabling Safe, Reliable, and Efficient Power Distribution

Whether powering next-generation electric drive systems or supporting critical energy storage subsystems, the Amphe-PD™ connector brings together the robustness of industrial-grade sealing, the performance of RADSOK® technology, and the flexibility of multi-contact design.

By enabling safe, compact, and efficient power delivery, it empowers engineers to design electrified platforms that meet modern efficiency and safety standards—without compromise.
