AMP Seal Connector

Post by verschuren » Wed Jul 12, 2017 10:52 am

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a different connector than the AMP Seal connector that would work with the PV480/485. The AMP Seal connector is pretty bad to work with at best.

The product manager for the PV480/485 replied that there are no alternatives to the AMP connector plug. May I ask what the issue is that makes them bad to work with?

When you insert the terminals and have the red lock pulled out as should be, the terminals don't always line up correctly. The more terminals the harder it is. This connector seems to have problems keeping the terminals straight unlike a Deutsch connector. Sometimes the locking "fingers" break or bend as well. Positioning the red lock with the misalignment is pretty hard.

I checked the AMP seal installation manual as well to see if it is a user problem, but I'm pretty sure I take the correct steps.

The problem becomes worse as the frustration goes up :)
