Hazardous Area Connectors For Mining | Amphenol Amphe-Mine EX

Product Overview

Hazardous Area Connectors

Amphenol Amphe-Mine EX | ATEX & IECEx Connectors

Underground Mining | Explosion Proof

Amphenol Amphe-Mine EX series of hazardous area connectors is a hybrid form of the parent Amphenol Star-Line range. The series holds many certifications such as ATEX, IECEx, AEx, Canadian EX and GoST-R.

In addition to these hazardous area classifications, Amphenol has added Australian Group I Mining approval. This new certification is through TUV Rheinland, and meets the IECEx listing for Group I applications in Australia.

The modern mining industry has enormous electrical challenges. Electronics used in today’s mines and mining equipment must be able to manage more power, handle higher voltages, move data and communication transmissions faster, and operate without interruption in some of the world’s harshest environments. Amphenol has solutions to solve these technical challenges.

Amphenol Amphe-Mine EX connectors are ideal for use in applications such as:

– Asset location systems for underground mining applications
– Onshore and Offshore based Oil & Gas drilling platforms
– Pharmaceutical & Chemical processing plants
– Turbines
– RMT Intercar Jumpers

This series of cylindrical, Stainless Steel, threaded coupling power and signal connectors for use in harsh environments and hazardous areas within the underground mining industry includes male plugs, female inline receptacles, female panel mount receptacles, panel mount circular flange receptacles and thru bulkhead-dual mate receptacles. Connector shells are available in sizes 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, C20, C24 & C28.
