Three ranges of protective caps for cylindrical connectors have been launched by Amphenol Socapex. These ranges round out the current standard series to provide protection for all 38999 series I, II and III, PT/451, RJ Field and USB Field connectors. Amphenol Socapex's self-closing caps offer ease of use and optimal protection.

They screw directly onto receptacles and are available in two types of material: composite for PT/451 connectors and aluminium for the 38999 range.

A large choice of plating finishes - including nickel, black zinc nickel, and cadmium - is available to provide increased protection against corrosion, impacts, and vibrations. In addition, the metal cap for the 38999 range is protected to IP67.
