RF components perform vital functions in mission-critical military electronic systems. Such products require superior performance and reliability in hostile environments and stressful conditions. We offer solutions to defense applications such as ruggedized communications, flight management systems, missiles and radar.

Amphenol RF is recognized as a leading supplier in the military industry for its quality MIL-C-39012 interconnects and innovative product solutions. With decades of expertise in harsh environment interconnects for land, sea, and space, we are a natural partner to support a broad range of ruggedized, high-performance connector and cable assembly requirements. Our forward-looking designs and industry-leading manufacturing excellence ensure consistent dependability in any battlefield.

Industrial plating options are available for enhanced durability in a variety of harsh environments. These robust connectors and adapters are available in two alternative plating options:

Black Plated RF Interconnect 

Cadmium-free, non-reflective black zinc cobalt for covert and military applications. RoHS and REACH compliant, and does not compromise RF performance or conductivity. Conductive and corrosion resistant.

Extreme Exposure RF Interconnect 

Environmentally friendly, chromium-free tin nickel plating for extreme exposure settings. RoHS and REACH compliant. Validated 720 hours of salt spray endurance. Mechanical robustness extends the life of the RF interconnect in unfavorable conditions such as marine environments.

IP-rated solutions offer additional protection against moisture and dust ingress which might compromise the system.
