ACAL Technology first to sample Amphenol Bulldog Connectors

ACAL Technology are sampling new Amphenol Bulldog connectors which combine quick release, impact resistance and extreme reliability into a single connector. The special design features of the RoHS-compliant, IP68-sealed Bulldog connectors make then suitable for use in automotive, military and other harsh applications: Mating and breaking forces can be adjusted to suit specific applications, whilst the use of standard MIL-C insert arrangements means that the connectors provide the versatility for power, signal or data as well as mixed-contact platforms.

“Other connectors may integrate one or more of the features offered by these new connectors, but we believe that the Amphenol Bulldog series is the only one to combine all of these features into a single connector” explains Emma Hatton of ACAL Technology.

The Bulldog connectors’ quick release breakaway provides fast, safe connect and disconnect, reducing down-time and potential damage, particularly in jettison applications where damage limitation is critical. The scoop-proof design prevents contact damage during mating and de-mating.
