Amphenol Commercial Class L
Product Data Sheet
PDS-235
MIL-DTL-22992
Wall Mount Receptacle
(power source)
The Amphenol Class “L” heavy duty connectors are now available in a lower cost
commercial version. The Class L meets the demands for heavy duty & heavy
power connectors that are critical for rugged environmental conditions.
Design features of Amphenol Class L provide:
• Greatest Capacity - Current ranges 40 to 200 amps, conductor sizes 6 to 4/0.
• Safety - Complete protection of personnel and equipment if connectors are
inadvertently disconnected under load.
• Foolproof Mating - Design incorporates voltage, current, frequency, phase and
grounding requirements
• Standardization - MIL-DTL-22992 Class L insert arrangements specify connector/
cable combinations for maximum reliability.
• Serviceable Contacts - Contacts are normally crimped to the cable before connector
assembly. No insertion tools required. Bushings are available to adapt smaller
diameter wires to larger contacts.
• Arc Quenching Design - Recessed socket contacts within the insert create an arc
suppressing chamber which protects the user when connectors are separated
under load.
• Programmed Coupling Sequence - Grounding and neutral contacts engage
before power contacts.
• Waterproof Design - A unique combination of grommets and seals
provides waterproofing in any condition - mated or unmated, capped or uncapped.
• Rugged Construction - Machined from high strength aluminum. Straight-line
attachment of accessories eliminates possibility of cable twisting or misalignment.
• Accessories - Supplied with all Class L connectors as indicated on the individual
connector descriptions. Replacement accessories may be ordered separately.
