RADSOK® Technology
Advantages
RADSOK® Interconnect Solutions
for the Power Bus Market
Standard and Custom-Developed Solutions
• In addition to the various standard sizes of RADSOK components, custom-
developed solutions are also available. See the new RADSOK® products
that have been developed on the special pages at the end of this brochure.
Amphenol has the global design, engineering and manufacturing resources
to provide RADSOK® sockets pressed into busbars, crimped to cables,
assembled into connectors, assembled into customer or Amphenol de-
signed specialized electrical devices, or as stand-alone components.
Amphenol also manufactures a full compliment of mating pin contacts for
any application.
• Steady-state current capacities for standard RADSOK products range from
50 amps to over 1000 amps.
• Standard contact plating is typically Silver (Ag) although many other plating
specifications may be used for your application.
• Amphenol connectors with RADSOK® contacts are offered with a variety of
positive-locking features (HiLokTM and SurLokTM) that insure and maintain
fully-mated connections.
• Sealing (SealtacTM) and high voltage hot break options are available within
the RADSOK® itself or within a very wide range of IP rated connector
housings to provide environmental protection to the contact area.
The Wide Variety of RADSOK® Applications include:
• Replacement of ring terminals (lugs) on threaded studs
• High current PCBs
• Communication towers
• Backplane power
• Uninterrupted power supplies
• Fuel cell connectors
• Hybrid electric vehicles (example right is the Tesla Hybrid Car;
photograph shown by permission of Tesla)
• AC inductive drive motors
• Power distribution modules
• Busbar terminations (plug-in hardware/modules
• “Pluggable” breakers
• Battery terminals
• Existing Amphenol products: 5015, GT, ACA-B, P-Lok or replace
other manufacturers’ connectors
• contacts with RADSOK® technology give 50% more ampacity.
• RADSOK® contacts can be designed to fit any housing
• Developing Military applications of RADSOK® technology
• combinations of RADSOK® and high speed copper contacts in
the same interconnect package

• HIGH RELIABILITY
Unique RADSOK® design and construction technology create
an electrical contact interface that exceeds typical intercon-
nect requirements. Applications in aerospace, medical,
industrial, automotive, mining, offshore, and other harsh
environments depend on high reliability of the Amphenol
RADSOK® technology.
• LOW CONTACT ENGAGEMENT/SEPARATION
FORCES
The hyperbolic lamella socket contact construction distrib-
utes normal forces over a high percentage of the mating pin
surface. This creates a smooth, even engagement effort.
This force distribution also contributes to excellent perfor-
mance in vibration applications with resistance to typical
fretting corrosion.
• LOW CONTACT RESISTANCE
The large interface area between the socket lamella and pin
surface result in very low contact resistance, enabling the
RADSOK® contacts’ high current ratings compared to tradi-
tional power contact designs.
• HIGH MATING CYCLE DURABILITY
RADSOK® contacts with typical silver plating finishes have
demonstrated survival of 20,000 mating cycles. Specialized
plating and contact lubricants can extend cycle life to
200,000 matings or higher. Even with continuous exposure to
harsh environmental abuse (salt, sand, and high humidity),
RADSOK® contacts have been tested to maintain low contact
resistance beyond 10,000 mating cycles.
