Buy Amphenol ATP Connectors in Australia

If you are looking to buy Amphenol ATP connectors in Australia, 12Volt Motorsports stocks Amphenol ATP connector kits for high-current motorsport wiring, automotive wiring, fuel pumps, thermofans, water pumps, power feeds, off-road wiring and custom harness builds. We are based in Altona Meadows in Melbourne's western suburbs and ship Australia-wide.

Amphenol ATP connectors are the larger high-current version of the Amphenol A-Series connector family. They are commonly used where Amphenol ATM or Amphenol AT connectors are not large enough for the wire size or current draw.

What Are Amphenol ATP Connectors?

Amphenol ATP connectors are sealed electrical connectors designed for higher-current wiring applications. They use size 12 contacts and are commonly rated up to 25A per pin, depending on the terminal, wire size and application.

In motorsport wiring, Amphenol ATP connectors are commonly used for fuel pumps, thermofans, water pumps, power feeds, heavier auxiliary circuits, off-road accessories and higher-current removable harness sections.

When Should I Use Amphenol ATP Connectors?

Use Amphenol ATP connectors when the circuit current or wire size is too large for Amphenol ATM or Amphenol AT connectors. ATP connectors are suited to higher-current circuits where a sealed, serviceable connector is required.

Amphenol ATP connectors are not usually needed for low-current sensor wiring or ECU signal wiring. For those applications, use Amphenol ATM connectors. For medium-current general automotive wiring, lighting, solenoids and relay circuits, Amphenol AT connectors are often the better choice.

Amphenol ATP Connector Sizes

Amphenol ATP connectors are commonly used in lower pin counts because they are designed for larger terminals and higher-current wiring. Choose the pin count based on the number of high-current circuits required, wire size, current draw and serviceability.

ATP Pin Count Common Use
2 pin Fuel pumps, thermofans, water pumps, power feeds and high-current two-wire circuits
4 pin Grouped high-current circuits, dual pump wiring, fan wiring and heavier removable harness sections
6 pin Multiple high-current circuits, auxiliary power branches and larger removable harness sections

Can Amphenol ATP Connectors Be Used With Deutsch DTP Connectors?

Yes. Amphenol ATP connectors are designed as a compatible alternative to Deutsch DTP connectors. In most applications, Amphenol ATP and Deutsch DTP connectors of the same pin count and matching configuration can mate together and are used for the same type of high-current sealed wiring applications.

They use the same style size 12 contact system for larger-gauge automotive and motorsport wiring. For best results, always match the connector series, pin count, plug and receptacle style, terminal size and wire size. Do not mix Amphenol ATP with Deutsch DTM or Deutsch DT connectors, as those are different connector series.

What Should I Use With Amphenol ATP Connectors?

Amphenol ATP connectors are commonly used with larger gauge Tefzel wire, Raychem DR25 heatshrink, Sumitomo W5DL adhesive heatshrink, Amphenol connectors, Deutsch DTP connectors, ECU plugs and pins and suitable crimp tooling when building professional motorsport wiring harnesses.

For a reliable Amphenol ATP connector assembly, wire size, current draw, terminal choice and crimp quality matter. High-current circuits need correct wire sizing and proper crimping to avoid voltage drop, heat and long-term reliability issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy Amphenol ATP connectors in Australia?

12Volt Motorsports stocks Amphenol ATP connector kits in Australia. We are based in Melbourne and ship Amphenol ATP connectors Australia-wide.

What are Amphenol ATP connectors used for?

Amphenol ATP connectors are used for higher-current wiring such as fuel pumps, thermofans, water pumps, power feeds, heavier auxiliary circuits and high-current motorsport harness sections.

What is the current rating of Amphenol ATP connectors?

Amphenol ATP connectors are commonly rated up to 25A per pin, depending on the contact, wire size and application. Always check the circuit current, wire size and connector rating before choosing the connector series.

Are Amphenol ATP connectors waterproof?

Amphenol ATP connectors are sealed connectors designed for harsh environments. When assembled correctly with the correct terminals, seals and wedges, they provide strong protection against moisture, dirt and vibration.

Should I use Amphenol ATP or AT connectors?

Use Amphenol AT connectors for medium-current general-purpose automotive circuits. Use Amphenol ATP connectors for higher-current circuits where AT does not provide enough current capacity or wire size support.

Should I use Amphenol ATP for sensor wiring?

No, Amphenol ATP connectors are usually too large for normal sensor wiring. For sensor wiring and ECU signal circuits, Amphenol ATM connectors are usually the better choice.

Can Amphenol ATP connectors mate with Deutsch DTP connectors?

Yes. Amphenol ATP connectors are designed to be compatible with Deutsch DTP connectors of the same pin count and matching configuration. They are commonly used as a direct alternative in motorsport, automotive, off-road and industrial wiring applications.

Are Amphenol ATP connectors the same as Deutsch DTP connectors?

They are not the same brand, but they are the same style of high-current sealed connector system. Amphenol ATP connectors are commonly used as a compatible alternative to Deutsch DTP connectors for high-current sealed wiring applications.

Do Amphenol ATP connectors use the same terminals as Deutsch DTP connectors?

Amphenol ATP and Deutsch DTP connectors use size 12 contacts for larger-gauge automotive wiring. Always match the correct terminal type, wire size and crimp tool to the connector kit being used.

Do I need a special crimp tool for Amphenol ATP connectors?

Yes. Amphenol ATP contacts should be crimped with the correct tool for the terminal type. Correct crimping is especially important on high-current circuits to avoid voltage drop, heat and reliability problems.

Do you sell Amphenol ATP connector kits?

Yes. 12Volt Motorsports stocks Amphenol ATP connector kits including housings, wedges and terminals in common pin counts.

Do you ship Amphenol ATP connectors Australia-wide?
