The Amphe-Armor is a rugged connector originally designed for the geophysical industry and the exploration of natural resources, where connectors are needed to withstand the harsh environments of oil, gas, mud and water.  The Amphe-Armor also meets the rugged criteria for heavy equipment, outdoor lighting, machine tool and many other harsh environment situations.  The Amphenol® PT bayonet plug connector or the Amphe-Power® GT reverse bayonet plug connector is housed in a high impact glass filled thermoplastic molding.  This outer housing is very resistant to damage either by physical abuse or fluid immersion.  A heavy duty coupling nut and protection cap also contribute to the rugged features of this series of connectors.  The Amphe-Armor is so rugged it can be driven over without destroying the electrical integrity of the connector.  With the availability of Amphe-Power RADSOK® inserts the Amphe-Armor can handle up to 50% more amperage than the standard connector.
