ACPA Heavy Duty Accessories

Introduction

Amphenol Commercial’s ACPA Heavy Duty Accessories are rugged connector-protection components for installations exposed to demanding environmental conditions. The range combines a straight-exit, size E D-sub hood assembly with dust covers for USB Type-A and micro-USB receptacles, addressing both sealed D-sub connections and protection for unused USB interfaces.

A notable feature is the D-sub hood’s IP67 sealing against water and dust, while the USB dust covers are available in conductive and non-conductive versions.

What it does

The size E D-sub hood assembly provides a protective enclosure for D-sub connections with a straight cable exit. Its IP67 sealing is intended to limit water and dust ingress at the connector interface.

The accompanying dust covers fit USB Type-A and micro-USB receptacles. They can be selected in conductive or non-conductive styles, with gray and black color options. Across the accessory range, the stated operating temperature range is -40°C to +105°C.

Applications

These accessories are suited to equipment requiring protected external connector interfaces, including:

• D-sub cable connections exposed to water or dust
• USB Type-A receptacles that need dust-cover protection when not in use
• Micro-USB receptacles in compact equipment
• Systems operating across a -40°C to +105°C temperature range
• Connector assemblies where a straight-exit size E D-sub hood is required

Design considerations

For D-sub integration, the hood is specified for size E shells and uses a straight cable exit, so enclosure layout and cable-routing space should be considered accordingly. Its IP67 sealing characteristic is specific to the hood assembly’s protection against water and dust.

For USB interfaces, designers should verify whether the target receptacle is USB Type-A or micro-USB and select the appropriate dust cover. The conductive and non-conductive cover options provide an explicit selection point, as do the gray and black color choices.
