Durmalon™ and AP-93 Plated Class L Heavy-Duty Connectors

Amphenol Aerospace's commercial Class L connector series are Durmalon and AP-93 plated. The Durmalon finish (an alternate to cadmium) is RoHS compliant and provides protection against 500 hours of dynamic salt spray. Commercial, industrial, and military markets are rapidly moving away from restricted materials such as cadmium (Cd) and hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], both restricted materials that are toxic and known carcinogens. Durmalon, like olive-drab cadmium plating (Class W), meets 500 hours of dynamic salt spray, combined with 500 mating cycles, and meets specified millivolt drop shell-to-shell conductivity. Additionally, the durable AP-93 plating is REACH/RoHS compliant for aluminum connectors and outperforms cadmium, and exceeds 1,000 hour salt spray requirements.

AP-93 is a conductive finish that meets or exceeds the D38999 cadmium requirements, making it an excellent choice for harsh environments. Amphenol Aerospace’s commercial Class L heavy-duty connectors are the commercial equivalent of the MIL-DTL-22992 qualified connectors, the largest size cylindrical. They are available only in the specific configurations defined by the MIL-DTL-22992 specification. This rigid configuration control assures the correct interconnection of electrical circuits for maximum safety and reliability.
