Features and Benets
FEATURES BENEFITS
LOWEST INSTALLED COST By providing enhanced performance and advancements to existing standard systems with
improvements such as our FlexGrip design, these cost conscious innovations will increase the
reliability & performance of one of the most dependable interconnect offerings available today.
SUPERIOR SHIELDING First quality components coupled with a simplistic design provide maximum EMI/RFI shielding
capabilities while reducing assembly preparation times.
ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY Overall design construction allows for one step process of contact extraction versus complete
connector disassembly found within other brands. An integrated contact locking system ensures
ease of use and denitive contact integrity upon insertion.
CABLE STRAIN RELIEF Your choice of either the innovative design features of FlexGrip or traditional cable strain
relieving similar to existing standard systems.
FLUID RESISTANCE and SEALING In combination with our strain relief systems, Amphenol utilizes advanced sealing technologies &
materials to ensure highest reliability when subjected to the harshest environments.
CONTACTS By creating a 360 degree mating surface around the pin, Amphenol’s RockSolid contact
offering ensures longer contact life, lower contact resistance, immunizes against shock and
vibration all while maintaining low insertion and extraction forces. Additionally, industry standard
contacts are also available made with gold plated surfaces and high quality CuZn alloys.
RoHS COMPLIANT All materials meet the requirements of the European Directive 2002/95/EC, Issue 13.2.2003.
ADD’L APPROVALS
FlexGrip™ Backshells come in various sizes, ranging from 8.5mm - 18.5mm.
FlexGrip™ Backshells must be potted to achieve IP67 ratings.
Note: Industry standard strain relief/cord grip options, achieving IP67
ratings, are also available.
Note: Industry standard contacts are also available.

ALL M23 A SERIES INSERTS COME WITH 3 CODING KEYS.
To order the connector with the correct insert coding, change the 6th digit in the catalog part number per the coding
letter desired (see gure above).
Examples:
MA1CAE1200 for “E” coding, MA1CAF1200 for “F” coding, MA1CAG1200 for “G” coding
MA1CAP1200 for “P” coding, MA1CAR1200 for “R” coding, MA1CAS1200 for “S” coding
If you are ordering an “E” type connector, coding options are only: E, F & G. Normal coding is identied as “E”.
If you are odering a “P” type connector, coding options are only: P, R & S. Normal coding is identied as “P”.

The Derating Curve depicts a safe operating zone in which amperage and ambient temperature are the
factors. This curve on the chart is an 80% reduction of the current-carrying capacity curve.
The current-carrying capacity curve is determined from tests in which the mated connectors are subjected to
different levels of current. At these levels of current, the temperature of the hottest spot of the mated con-
nector and the temperature inside the test enclosure are recorded. Using this data, plugged into a formula,
points are plotted on a chart. When the points are connected, the completed curve is the current-carrying
capacity curve.
