UQD & UQDB Liquid Cooling Connectors

Amphenol Industrial Universal Quick Disconnect (UQD) and UQD Blind-Mate (UQDB) Liquid Cooling Connectors are designed to exceed Open Compute Project (OCP) specifications. These quick-disconnect couplings are constructed with aerospace-grade sealing materials and provide a bidirectional shut-off valve and dry break for enhanced protection against accidental spillage or drips. Both the shell and the spring are made from stainless steel to resist corrosion and increase component longevity, while the leak-free design and high flow rate are ideal for high-reliability equipment that uses liquid cooling. The UQD connectors feature a latch option with a flat-design button to benefit operation and prevent accidental touch. The UQDB variant offers blind mating and self-alignment with 1mm radial compensation for easy installation. Both types of these Amphenol connectors are suitable for AI data servers, energy storage systems (ESS), and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
