What are AHD Series™ Connectors?

Amphenol Sine Systems AHD Series™ Connectors were developed in response to the overwhelming need for an

economic alternative to today’s existing diagnostic product options. Designed specifically as a cost-conscious,

reliable alternative, intermateable to industry standard 6 and 9 pin connectors, the AHD Series™ is ideal for any

situation where either controlled and/or uncontrolled environmental conditions exist.

Amphenol Sine Systems AHD Series™ Connectors offer both a smooth, non-sealing option for controlled

applications, as well as an environmentally-sealed, threaded option for more demanding applications. The

same applies for our DiagnosticGrade™ Cable Assemblies in that we provide both options for our customers.
