Hybrid Technology

Today’s applications often require mixed media and embedded intelligence to enable multi-functions and prevent misuse. To facilitate cable management, many functions are combined into a single condensed connector and cable assembly. For example, Amphenol offers circular connectors featuring both fiber optic termini and conventional copper contacts in a single connection. High voltage or high current contacts are often integrated with low level signal connections in one connector. Fluid or pneumatic terminations can also be integrated with electronic contacts for a simple, easy to mate, hybrid connector. This reduces component costs and consolidates space on the device side and simplifies the end user experience.

Amphenol’s solutions range from standard modular connectors that are easily configured to meet specific application requirements to custom connectors and cable assemblies.
