The MP20W23G30 range of connectors are part of the M Series Circular Connector family, produced by the worldwide specialist Amphenol. This range of connectors is designed to accept 20AWG wire contacts and offers a waterproof seal to a maximum 13 bar pressure. The connectors are particularly suitable for harsh and outdoor environments, and have a wide range of different applications.

The MP20W23G30 series is used in a variety of applications, including automotive, military and aerospace, telecommunication, test and measurement, power and switchgear, and medical. These connector types are designed for a range of purposes, including the connection of power, telecommunication, or various other electronic signals.

The main connector parts consist of a male connector and female connector. The male connector, also known as the plug, is designed to fit into the female or socket connector, which is designed for a snug fit. The two connectors link together via a rotating bayonet, which increases the security of the connection. The connectors are also equipped with contacts or pins, which are designed to deliver electrical signals between the two points of contact.

The core part of the MP20W30G23 range are the contacts, which are usually made of either brass or stainless steel. These contacts are designed to allow the delivery of an electrical charge from one point of contact to another. The contacts are installed into the connector body and come in three different shapes - straight, angled and U shaped.

The contacts of the MP20W30G23 series can be configured in different ways to meet different specific requirements. For example, it is possible to choose between two types of contact retention configurations - crimp and solder. Additionally, a variety of contact materials, including gold, silver, nickel, and tin plated can be selected.

The MP20W30G23 connectors are also equipped with a series of seals and gaskets, which are designed to protect the contacts from moisture and dust. The seals are available in a variety of materials, including Neoprene as well as Viton and Polyurethane. These seals and gaskets ensure that the connector remains waterproof up to a specified pressure limit.

The MP20W23G30 series of connectors are designed to ensure a secure connection and reliable delivery of electrical signals. The rugged design of the connectors ensures that they are suitable for use in harsh environments, as well as for outdoor applications. With a wide range of contact materials and retention configurations, the MP20W30G23 range provides the versatility needed for a variety of different applications.
