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 specically 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.
