What are circular industrial connectors?
Circular connectors, also known as circular interconnects, are cylindrical multi-pin connectors designed to transmit power, signal and data between devices. Their rugged construction makes them particularly suitable for harsh and industrial environments.
How do circular connectors work?
Circular industrial connectors use aligned contacts housed within a sealed shell. Once locked, this precision alignment helps maintain a stable electrical connection, which helps prevent misalignment or disconnection thanks to vibration or movement.
Which type of circular industrial connector do I need?
This depends on the application. Considering key factors of environmental conditions, current and voltage requirements, IP rating, and the locking mechanism and mounting style.
