APD 19-way is designed for volume products requiring a technically robust and competitively priced solution. The circular connector is capable of withstanding harsh and wet-area environments, making it ideal for commercial vehicles and industrial automation applications.
Fitting within the APD connector range between the 7 and 37-position models, the 19-way connector features a unique secondary locking mechanism based on patent-pending technology. Designed for ease of use, no special contact removal tools are required to unlock the secondary locking contact insert while in the field. All that is needed is a screwdriver.
The APD 19-way connector features 19 contacts, with the option of increasing to 27 contacts by utilizing smaller contact sizes. Conversely, for applications requiring a larger load capacity, pin count can be reduced by employing higher power contacts up to 50 mm2 and 0 AWG wire.
APD 19-way harsh environment connectors feature a plastic circular housing with visual and audible feedback for confirmed correct mating, simple contact locking and unlocking, and additional secondary locking at the plug and receptacle. The connector can be specified as a bulkhead connector with two ranges of wall thickness. ITT also produces one of the only flange versions of the 19-way connector available on the market. Plug and jam nut versions are also available, along with endbell adapters and accessories. The APD connectors conform to IP69K standards and meet DIN 72585 specifications.
