Amphenol is the world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of RF interconnect systems for the automotive, broadband, instrumentation, internet, military/aerospace and wireless infrastructure markets. With the combination of our global footprint and experience extending over a half-century, Amphenol is your RF Global Solutions Provider for the 21st Century.

PEI-Genesis is an authorized value-added distributor of Amphenol aerospace and industrial connectors and is the largest Amphenol Aerospace & Industrial value-added distributor. We are also honored to have won Amphenol’s Global Partnership Award, which recognizes outstanding distributor performance, three years in a row and running.

Amphenol's APC is the first instrument-grade coaxial connector series to achieve repeatable TE11 mode resonance-free signal transmission from DC - 50 GHz with a minimum return loss of 26 dB. These 50 Ω connectors are designed primarily for use in test and measurement equipment where reliable performance is critical for repeated connect/disconnect cycles.


APC-2.4 was Amphenol's initial precision offering, and includes the male and female connectors for termination to 2.4mm rigid coaxial airline cable. Also featured are 22 between-series adapters for high-performance transistors from the 2.4mm interface to the APC-3.5, APC-7, APC-N, SMA, and Wilton K - connectorTM interfaces.

APC-3.5 connectors are a high-performance 50 Ω coaxial connector designed to exhibit low VSWR, low loss, and to be resonance-free to 34 GHz. This line features an air dielectric mating face and a thicker outer conductor shoulder. APC-3.5 designs maintain mechanical and electrical integrity through repeated mating cycles, and they mate with SMA connectors.

APC-7 connectors are primarily used with rigid 7mm airline cable. They feature a sexless coupling mechanism that permits any two APC-7 connectors to mate. Certified test reports of VSWR are provided whenever a mated pair of APC-7 connectors is ordered.

APC-N connectors can be used interchangeably with the APC-7 on rigid airline cables or equipment, and they mate with all other Type N connectors. VSWR for a mated pair of APC-N connectors is 1.06 - 12. 4 GHz and 1.08 - 18 GHz.

Amphenol is one of the largest manufacturers of interconnect products in the world. The primary end markets for the Company's products are communications and information processing markets, including cable television, cellular telephone and data communication and information processing systems; aerospace and military electronics; and automotive, rail and other transportation and industrial applications.
