Extreme Exposure

Amphenol RF’s extreme exposure connectors are engineered with specialized plating and rugged construction to deliver maximum durability in the harshest environments. By combining corrosion resistance with waterproof sealing and high RF performance, these interconnects ensure long-term reliability where standard solutions cannot endure.

Extreme exposure RF connectors and adapters are available in durable tin-nickel and stainless-steel plating options, designed to protect against corrosion in environments such as marine, oil and gas and industrial installations. Validated through 720-hour salt spray testing, these interconnects provide proven endurance while maintaining IP67-level sealing, stable contact resistance and superior RF performance. The result is extended equipment lifespan, reduced maintenance requirements and minimized downtime for systems exposed to corrosive elements, vibration, or harsh weather conditions.

These ruggedized solutions are essential in applications where uninterrupted signal transmission directly impacts safety and efficiency. In military and defense systems, they safeguard mission-critical communications and surveillance equipment in unforgiving operational environments. Offshore drilling and marine navigation rely on corrosion-resistant connectors to ensure secure data and positioning signals, while industrial automation and environmental monitoring systems benefit from their ability to perform reliably in challenging conditions. Across industries, Amphenol RF’s extreme exposure connectors provide confidence and continuity where environmental resistance is critical to operational success.
