Ranger Series
The Amphenol Nexus Ranger Series is the newest addition to the Nexus line of connectors. The Ranger series is available in two variants: High Density and Standard. Several products are under each of these variants, allowing you to find the right one for your needs and requirements. Other benefits of Ranger:
- Choose between High Density Ranger and Standard Ranger variants
- High-performing and reliable performance
- Excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and temperature extremes
- Compatible with different systems and equipment
- Add comment Different Keying Configurations available for polarity
The Difference Between High Density & Standard Variations
Both products have the same features, such as contact types, insulator material, keying, termination type, degree of protection, operating temperature, shell finish, and mating cycle. However, they have some differences that may affect the connector’s performance. The differences between the two products:
- Voltage: Standard variations have voltages between 200V, 300V, 333V, and 450V, while High Density only has voltage available in 250V.
- The number of contacts: Standard deviations have 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16 options, while High Density only has 9, 12, 16, and 27.
- Data transmission: For Standard, USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) is available for NX-G80YAR-P04WFG0-000L and NX-A10YAR-P04XFG0-0000. You can also choose from USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) + Power, USB 3.2 Gen 1×1 (5 Gbit/s), HDMI 1.3 (8.13 Gbit/s), USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) + Power for High Density. The rest is N/A.
- Contact diameter: Standard has a contact diameter of 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, and 0.9 mm, while High Density offers 3x 0.3 mm, 6x 0.7 mm, 10x 0.3 mm. 2x 0.7 mm, and 0.3 mm.
- Contact finish: Standard and High Density are both Cu-alloy with gold finish.
- Current rate: High Density offers a current rate of 1A and 5A for its products. On the other hand, Standard has 5A and 10A available. (to keep the same flow I would switch the order, standard first and HD second.)
