AMPHENOL AMPHE-LITE™ FEATURES
- High-Reliability
Amphe-Lite connectors perform flawlessly under wide temperature ranges and in high vibrations and are resistant to a vast array of contaminants. Visual confirmation of mating is accomplished by the plug coupling nut covering a red band on the mating shell.
- Outstanding EMI-Shielding Protection
These connectors provide excellent signal integrity due to the shielded mating system that utilizes 360-degree shell grounding fingers, providing protection of up to 50 dB minimum - 100Mhz to 10GHz.
- Operates at Extreme Temperatures
These connectors will operate in temperatures from -67°F up to 320°F (-55°C up to +150°C).
- High-Density Connectors
If space is at a premium, Amphe-Lite offers up to 128 contacts per connector. Ideally suited for digital electronics used on fly-by wire aircraft, advanced robotics, and critical industrial equipment.
- Self-Locking Container Systems
Self-locking coupling nuts and self-locking endbell accessory hardware provide the best performance for threaded connectors in high-vibration applications.
- Contact Protection
Amphe-Lite connectors are designed to be scoop-proof. Pin contacts are recessed to prevent contact damage and contact shorting when connector halves are mated.
- Approvals
Amphe-Lite is UL-recognized, File E115497
RoHS Compliant

AMPHENOL AMPHE-LITE™ WIRE STRIPPING
Strip insulation from the end of wire to be crimped. (See table for proper stripping dimensions.) Do not cut or damage wire strands.
All dimensions in inches (millimeters in parentheses)
AMPHENOL AMPHE-LITE™ CONTACT CRIMPING
Correct
Incorrect
STEP 1: Insert wire into rear of contact. Wire insulation must press against rear of contact. Wire must be visible through inspection hole.
STEP 2: See
Contact and Tool Table for choice of turret head and selection setting according to contact size, part number and wire gauge size.
STEP 3: Insert contact and wire into tool jaws. To crimp, squeeze handles together fully until ratchet releases and allows handles to expand; otherwise, contact cannot be extracted from tool jaws. Maintain slight insertion pressure on wire while crimping contact to wire.
AMPHENOL AMPHE-LITE™ CONTACT INSERTION
STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or receptacle and slip over wire bundle in proper order for reassembly.
STEP 2: Using proper plastic or metal insertion tool for corresponding contact, position wire in tip of the tool so that the tool tip presses against the contact shoulder.
STEP 3: Press tool against contact shoulder and, with firm and even pressure, insert wired contact and tool tip into center contact cavity.
STEP 4: When contact bottoms, a slight “click” can be heard as tines of metal retaining clip snap into place behind contact shoulder.
STEP 5: Remove tool and pull back lightly on wire to make sure contact is properly seated. Repeat operation with remainder of contacts to be inserted, beginning with the center cavity and working outward in alternating rows.
STEP 6: After all contacts are inserted, fill any empty cavities with wire sealing plugs. Reassemble plug or receptacle hardware.
AMPHENOL AMPHE-LITE™ CONTACT EXTRACTION
STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or receptacle and slide hardware back along wire bundle.
STEP 2: Using plastic or metal extraction tool with proper color code corresponding to contact size, place wire in tool.
STEP 3: Insert tool into contact cavity until tool tip bottoms against the contact shoulder, expanding clip retaining tines.
STEP 4: Hold wire firmly in tool and extract wired contact and tool. Repeat operation for all contacts to be extracted.
STEP 5: Fill any empty cavities with wire sealing plugs. Reassemble plug or receptacle hardware.
Note: LJT Series shown.
