ABOUT AMPHENOL NEXUS TECHNOLOGIES:
Since 1961, Amphenol NEXUS Technologies connectors have become the standard in military and commercial
communication headset markets. Today, Amphenol NEXUS Technologies connectors are typically specified in OEM headset
applications where “breakaway-style” audio connectors are required. Amphenol NEXUS Technologies switches have avery strong, ‘tactile-feedback’ feature that makes them ideal for applications that require a positive means of knowing thatthe switch has actuated. In addition, Amphenol NEXUS Technologies switches are designed for applications that require a
durable, reliable and cost effective switching means. Other applications of Amphenol NEXUS Technologies connectors andpushbutton switches are in Auto Racing, Powerboat Racing, Telecommunications, Simulation Controls, Medical Products,
Farm Equipment, and Commercial Aviation Electronics.
Amphenol NEXUS Technologies currently operates out of a 16,000 sq ft. facility, which is located in Stamford, CT. Amphenol
NEXUS Technologies currently has over 60 employees, many of whom have been with Amphenol NEXUS Technologies
for over 20 years. Amphenol NEXUS Technologies facilities and equipment include: thermoset and thermoplastic molding
machines, stamping presses, numerous assembly fixtures, CNC Tool Room, Heat Treating equipment, Special Plating
equipment, Testing Lab, Clean Room for switch assembly, CAD (Computer Aided Design), and other special proprietaryprocesses that are designed to manufacture dependable quality products.
Amphenol NEXUS Technologies’ Quality Assurance System meets or exceeds the requirements of MIL-I-45208,
MIL-Q-9858, MIL-STD-45662, and the sampling requirements of MIL-STD-105. We also use SPC to selectively monitor
critical processes, which helps ensure process capability. We are currently on the U.S. Government’s QPL (Qualified
Products List) for the following military specifications: MIL-DTL-9177, MIL-DTL-55116, and MIL-S-8805/3. All at Amphenol
NEXUS Technologies, look forward to serving you with products that meet your satisfaction. Please contact us today to
discuss your requirements.

Amphenol NEXUS Technologies has been a long-time
manufacturer and qualified military supplier of airborne audio
connectors, see MIL-DTL-9177. Our special ruggedized
design has been the industry standard on military andcommercial helmets and headsets for many years.
In addition to the military qualified parts, we offer a numberof connector options for different mounting styles, switch
functions, and soldier attachments. Electrical, mechanical,
and environmental features of these connectors include:• Environment Resisting• RFI/EMI Protection• Low-level Circuit Capabilities• High Cross-talk ResistanceThis connector design isn’t just limited to communications
systems. Other markets are exploring the benefits of
the quick-disconnect, rotatable connector design forharsh environments including drilling systems and othercommercial/industrial applications.

Amphenol NEXUS Technologies manufactures the complete lineof qualified MIL-DTL-55116 audio connectors which are usedthroughout military and commercial radio systems and intercom
systems for ground, vehicle, airborne, and naval communications.
This connector series encompasses waterproof, polarizedplugs and receptacles for use in audio frequency circuits at 60
volts maximum potential and 0.5 amperes maximum current.
Connectors utilize either crimp sleeve or solder cup contacts.
The rigid contacts in the plug connector mate with the pogo-pin,or spring loaded, contacts in the receptacle. In-line plugs andreceptacles come with a wire strain relief. Receptacles are alsoavailable in panel-mount.
In addition to the standard versions, Amphenol NEXUS
Technologies also designs and builds a wide variety of custom
M55116-type connectors with options such as: PCB contacts,
unique shell geometries, grounded and shielded connectors,
and right-angle plug connectors. We also designed a complete
miniaturized line of M55116 style connectors, the TAC Series,that meets the same performance requirements as the standard
connectors in less than half the size and weight.

M55116 TYPE RIGHT-ANGLE PLUG CONNECTORS
AP-RA Series Connectors
With space at a premium in today’s military vehicles and systems, Amphenol NEXUS
Technologies has met that demand with its new Right-Angle M55116-Type Plug Connectors.
Amphenol NEXUS Technologies has re-designed our in-line 5-and 6-conductor shielded plugs
to have a 90° back-end to redirect the wires for space-saving purposes. Additionally, thecable location can then be indexed 180°.
FEATURES:• 90° back-end to redirect the cables which saves almost 2 inches from the standard
straight audio plug.
