AMPSEAL Connector Overview

AMPSEAL connectors provide rugged reliability and environmental sealing. They are available in cable plugs and PCB mount headers that are designed to stand up to high-temperature underhood applications.

The pre-assembled receptacle housing connector features built-in contact sealing and an integral interfacial seal that protects mated connectors.
