GUIDELINES FOR PURCHASING CIRCULAR CONNECTORS

Successful purchasing of circular connectors is as much about choosing the right supplier as it is about getting to grips with the technical requirements, says Doug Mercer, European Marketing Manager for PEI-Genesis.

Even though the humble circular connector performs just one very simple function - joining together signal and/or power lines - the task of sourcing exactly the right connector for a particular application can be surprisingly complicated.

As well as ensuring that the connector’s electrical performance matches the requirements of the job in hand, there are many mechanical variables to be considered, including shell size, shell style, coupling mechanism, number and size of contacts, contact arrangement and keyway polarization.

Circular multi-pin connectors are widely used in the industrial, transportation, aerospace and defense sectors, where they can be subjected to quite extreme environmental conditions....read more about circular connectors
