Our patented RADSOK ® contact technology isn't just an incremental improvement—it's a fundamental reimagining of how electrical connections handle real-world stresses. While competitors' single-point contacts fail under building automation's continuous vibration and thermal cycling, our crown-shaped multi-point design distributes current load and provides self-cleaning action that actually improves with use. That's why we can guarantee 1500A per contact in compact circular formats where others require bulky rectangular housings." C h a p t e r 2 | R u g g e d R e l i a b i l i t y a t E v e r y C o n n e c t i o n Amphenol Industrial Operation's patented RADSOK ® contact technology addresses this through crown- shaped socket designs with multiple contact surfaces that distribute current load, preventing dangerous heat concentration while providing redundant current paths if individual contact points degrade. This approach enables reliable operation at current levels up to 120A per contact in a compact circular format while maintaining compact form factors essential for space-constrained building installations. The mechanical destruction of contact surfaces under continuous vibration creates intermittent failures during peak loads when buildings can least afford system disruption. Preventing this requires positive locking mechanisms like Amphenol's reverse bayonet designs that demand deliberate action to disconnect, while gas-tight contact interfaces exclude oxygen that would otherwise accelerate oxidation processes.
