Precision RF connectivity for today's mission-critical defense applications

The military and defense industry is a critical sector focused on developing advanced technologies and solutions to ensure national security, protect assets and support mission success in demanding environments. With decades of expertise in harsh environment interconnects for land, sea, and space, Amphenol RF supports a broad range of ruggedized, high-performance connector and cable assembly requirements.

In modern defense environments, connectivity must be fast, secure and durable. Amphenol RF is recognized as a leading supplier in the military industry for its quality MIL-C-39012 interconnects and innovative product solutions. Our technology

supports military applications across land, sea, air and space, wherever performance cannot be compromised. Built to withstand shock, vibration, EMI and extreme temperatures, our solutions are trusted for their proven reliability in field operations.

Durable RF Technology Designed for the Defense Challenges of Today

Industrial plating options enhance the durability of RF interconnects for use in harsh environments, offering two robust, RoHS and REACH compliant alternatives. Black zinc cobalt plating provides a cadmium-free, non-reflective finish ideal for

covert and military applications without compromising RF performance or conductivity, while tin nickel plating offers an environmentally friendly, chromium-free solution validated for 720 hours of salt spray resistance, making it well-suited for

extreme and marine environments. Both options ensure corrosion resistance and mechanical robustness, and can be combined with IP-rated solutions for added protection against moisture and dust ingress.
