PRODUCT SOLUTIONS | PRODUCTS SUPPORT




Amphenol-Tuchel offers six basic series in
the C146 family of industrial connectors for
diverse applications ranging from industrial
equipment and machine tools to the trans-
portation field. Industrial connectors are
very often the interface between a cabinet
and a machine or they connect work stations
and components of a different nature. Because
of the many application possibilities, the
industry agreed on a standard (DIN 43652).
The standard does however leave variation
possibilities for contract inserts
and housings.






Products @ Amphenol-Tuchel

C 146 D Series
Offering high contact density, the style C146 D is the DIN 43652
connector of Amphenol. It uses crimp termination in its inserts
for 7, 15, 25, 40, and 64 contacts and is therefore vibration proof.
Crimp contacts with a pin diameter of 1.6mm for a rated current
of 10A are used. The low-cost crimp contact is well suited to
high volume production since it can be crimped economically on
crimping machines for contacts on strip.


C 146 E Series
The C146 E Series which is close to the DIN 43652 standard
offers 2.5mm contacts for 16A with crimp or screw termination.
The screw version is offered for applications in countries
where the crimp technology is not yet established, and for
applications requiring no vibration tolerance. The crimp
version is used in critical applications and where a vibration
process is needed.


C 146 HvE Series
For general high voltage applications and in special high voltage
nets up to 500 V, the C146 HvE series with 2.5mm screw contacts
(3, 6, 10, 16, 20, 26, and 32-way for 16A) comes into use.


C 146 A Series
If a low profile version is needed then the C146 A series can be
used. It is a narrow version of the DIN connector with screw
connection and therefore with lower contact density (3, 4, 10,
16, and 32 contacts with 2.5mm dia. for 10/16A). This is used
for currents up to 70A with 4, 7, or 57 contacts with either
screw, crimp or solder termination (e.g. for robot controls).


C 146 M Series
Finally, the newest C146 M series intended for the increasing
complexity in industrial connections, which are getting ever
closer to the limits in capacity and cost. This series features
a modular design based on the C146 series family. It is offered
as eight different modules for turned as well a stamped
contacts. In addition, the series accommodates:

  • Mixed signal and power lines inverted contacts (male
    and female contacts on one connector side)
  • Modules with pre-leading contacts
  • Modules with coax contacts (DIN 41616)
  • Modules with FO contacts (DIN 41612)
  • Incorrect contact positioning impossible
  • Improved repair and service possibilities
  • Possibility of advanced assembly

  • New modules are added to the line on
    a regular basis.

    The user for the C146 M series first selects the basic frame and
    can then choose the individual modules depending on the
    requirements on voltage (up to 1000V), current (up to 40A),
    number of contacts and termination technology. The outside
    dimensions of the frames and their mounting are matched to fit
    into the various die-cast housings of the C146 family.
