Amphenol Industrial Operations has expanded its proven LPT product line with the LPT XII, a compact 12-pin metal circular connector designed for reliable power & signal performance in demanding environments. Building on the LPT family’s reputation for durability and serviceability, LPT XII pairs a corrosion-resistant aluminum shell with quick, positive bayonet coupling to deliver secure mating, fast installation, and repeatable performance across maintenance cycles.
Engineered for vibration resistance, the LPT XII maintains electrical integrity where shock, movement, and frequent connect/disconnect are part of daily operation. The quarter-turn bayonet mechanism provides tactile, audible feedback for confident assembly and resists loosening in the field, helping teams reduce rework and improve uptime.
Precision crimp contacts rated up to 13 A per contact support robust signal and low-power distribution needs, while low contact resistance helps limit heat rise and minimize wear over time. Inside the connector, an optimized insulation design enhances dielectric strength to help prevent signal leakage and crosstalk—supporting clean, consistent transmission in electrically noisy environments.
The LPT XII is also built for integration efficiency. Its lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum shell reduces overall mass without sacrificing mechanical stability, and its compact geometry simplifies routing in crowded panels and tight harness bundles. Compatibility with common crimp tooling and established assembly practices further streamlines both production and field service.
Target applications include factory automation (PLCs, sensors, control modules), transportation systems (signaling, auxiliary subsystems), and automated machinery (motion and drive control). In each of these environments, the combination of quick bayonet coupling, stable electrical performance, and rugged construction helps OEMs and operators standardize on a connector that supports predictable service intervals and long-term reliability.
As part of the broader LPT product line, LPT XII benefits from a mature ecosystem of accessories and configurations, making it easier for buyers and distributors to consolidate SKUs and simplify inventory. The result is a versatile, cost-effective interconnect option that fits seamlessly into existing LPT-based designs while offering the performance headroom modern systems demand.
LPT XII is available now as an addition to the Amphenol Industrial Operations LPT product line. For specifications, samples, or ordering information, contact our team or visit Sales & Support. Contact us to learn more.
