Product Overview

Amphe-Coal EX

ATEX & IECEx Connectors | Underground Mining | Explosion Proof

The Amphenol Amphe-Coal EX circular hazardous area connector series is designed, manufactured, and certified to one of the highest mining industry standards: IECEx Group 1.

With the growing need for increased power and signal in a smaller package in underground explosive mining areas, the Amphe-Coal EX connectors are a miniature version of the already well established Amphenol Amphe-Mine EX range. The design of these hazardous area connectors allows the use of smaller wire gauge, down to #26 AWG.

These interconnects are comprised of a stainless steel bodied plug and receptacle to form an in-line cable or cable-to-panel connection. Each plug and receptacle shell is supplied with an ATEX certified cable gland that fits onto the main body of the device.

Internally, the shell of each half contains an insert that houses either solder or crimp type contacts, pin or socket. Numerous hybrid inserts are available which offer a combination of copper and Coax/Twinax.

Amphenol Amphe-Coal EX connectors are ideal for use in underground mining applications such as:

– Lighting systems

– Batteries

– Security systems

– Motors

– Communication systems

– Control systems

– Engines

– Hazardous Area Fans
