Single-pin Connector Offers 1,135A Rating with Lower T-rise
Amphenol Industrial Global Operations has introduced a single-pin, high amperage connector series that features Amphenol’s patented RADSOK technology. Rig-Lok has a higher amperage rating and lower T-rise and insertion/removal forces as compared to any rugged connector on the market. This new connector series is used by oilfield equipment manufacturers, power generation OEMs, power distribution panel suppliers and traction motor OEMs. Unlike similar products with threaded connections, the new Rig-Lok is suited for use in VFD drive buildings, land drilling, traction motors and top drive power distribution because of its secure mating mechanism.

The connector features a unique 1/4 turn reverse bayonet locking coupling that allows for audible, tactile and visual confirmation of secure mating. Its double-dead front, finger-proof inserts help to protect the pin, as well as the socket, and enables the user to offer standard and reverse service within the same connector package.
Available with a variety of alternate keyway options, Rig-Lok prevents the inter-mating of different circuits with the panels on which they are used. The connector series is offered in two shell sizes, giving the user the ability to terminate wire sizes ranging from 4/0 AWG to 777 MCM cable, and has an amperage rating up to 1,135 A at 2,500 Vdc.

Rig-Lok features rugged corrosion resistant plating with a hard coat anodized finish that is able to withstand 300 days of continuous salt spray. The ruggedized, over-molded coupling nut supplied with each connector gives users more grip when operating in harsh environments, like oilfields where temperatures go down to -40ºC. A machined aluminum cover comes standard with the RoHS-compliant connector series, providing more protection for insert and contact assembly.
Pricing for the Rig-Lok starts at $450 per set. Delivery is 6-8 weeks ARO.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
