Miniature Rugged Connector Series
Intended for harsh environment applications and used extensively in soldier communications,
Amphenol Terrapin is a miniature series of circular push-pull connectors. Within a rugged shell
design Terrapin offers superior EMC performance and high environmental sealing to IP68.
Resilient in severe battlefield situations the RoHS compliant black-silver plating is both low-luster
and corrosion resistant. Featuring an optional locking mechanism, multiple shell sizes with up to
37 contacts and suitability for overmolding, Terrapin is the preferred choice for miniature
connectors in military and other harsh environment applications.
Terrapin shells are machined from brass giving an increased
number of mating cycles and higher degree of robustness
over traditional aluminium connectors. Five different keying
options are available to prevent mis-mating; N, A, B, C and D.
Standard plating is non-reflective black-silver, alternative
plating finishes are available upon request.
Terrapin is available in two different styles of mating; either
push-pull, being a break-away connector with no moving
parts, or latch, which has an additional coupling ring
allowing connections to be locked together. The same plug
can be mated to either push-pull or latch receptacles. Both
styles of product are waterproof to IP68 in both their mated
and unmated conditions.
Amphenol offers a full range of cable harness solutions with
standard or customized overmolding. Alternatively, for field
termination, both integral and threaded backshell
connectors can be terminated with screen retention straps
and heatshrink boots giving full 360˚ screening.
The customized design specification of Terrapin lends itself
to a variety of applications. Originally designed for soldier
mounted applications such as Radios, Headsets and GPS
units, Terrapin is also suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and USB
2.0 and therefore widely used on Computer Systems, LAN
Switches and Routers. The high degree of sealing offered by
Terrapin makes it perfect for Unmanned Ground Sensors
and Surveillance equipment. Whatever the application,
Terrapin offers space savings and improved durability over
traditional interconnect products.
