Description:
Combining advanced materials with an elegant design, Ground Blocks provide the lightest weight, highest density grounding solution available in the market today. Wired connections are environmentally-sealed, providing protection from moisture, spray, and debris. Unused connections are protected via Amphenol Pcd’s patented FODSeal Technology, which replaces the sealing plugs – reducing FOD, weight and part count. Amphenol Pcd’s Ground Blocks are ideal for use in harsh environments typically found in aircraft, ground vehicle and naval applications.
Features & Benefits:
-
Overmold Technology: Simplifies construction, improves sealing and reliability
-
Plastic retention clip - made with VICTREX® PEEK Polymer: Simplifies construction, uses 1 plastic piece vs 6 individual metal pieces
-
FODSeal Technology (Patented): Reduces FOD, part count and weight by eliminating sealing plugs
-
Weight Savings - up to 0.06 oz per block vs standard designs, yielding up to 2lbs per plane on typical aircraft

Military Rotorcraft / Helicopters
Sophisticated interconnect systems to deliver greater power and speed to meet the requirements of modern and future flight applications.
Missiles
Interconnect systems optimized for the extensive data transmissions that take place within modern missiles and guided munition systems during flight. Ruggedized products, optimized for performance and endurance in the world’s harshest environments, and engineered to achieve consistently exceptional performance.
Naval
Interconnect systems designed to meet the stringent electrical and connectivity requirements powering today’s advanced naval surface ships and submarines operating in littoral and deep water applications.
Space
Amphenol connectors in everything from low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites that make advanced communications and our modern digital world possible, to the International Space Station and other spaceborne applications. Amphenol connectors have been relied on for decades to ensure manned and unmanned space vehicles stay online, allowing astronauts and aeronautical agencies to complete their missions operating in the harshest environment known to man.
UAV
Unmanned vehicles, from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), are poised to conquer domains across land, air, and sea sooner rather than later. Amphenol connectors have the versatility to meet the requirements of unmanned applications operating in any space.
