Circular Connector

Circular connector, also known as cylindrical connector, is a connector with circular interface and shell design, widely used in industrial, communications, medical, aerospace and other fields. Compared to other types of connectors, circular connectors have the following significant advantages:

• Robust and durable: Circular connectors are usually made of metal, have high strength and wear resistance, and can withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as high temperature, high pressure, vibration, corrosion, etc.

• High reliability: Circular connectors usually adopt a multi-pin design and are equipped with sealing rings or waterproof caps, which can ensure the reliability and stability of the connection and prevent signal transmission interruption or failure.

• Good shielding performance: the metal shell of the circular connector can provide good shielding effect, effectively reduce electromagnetic interference, and ensure the quality of signal transmission.

• Strong versatility: Circular connectors have a variety of specifications and models to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

• Easy installation and maintenance: Circular connectors are usually relatively simple to install and maintain, requiring no special tools or skills.

Applications of Circular Connectors

Circular connectors are widely used, mainly in the following fields:

• Industrial: Circular connectors are widely used in industrial control systems, robots, instruments, machine tools, elevators and other equipment for transmitting power, signals and data.

• Communi Circular connector, also known as cylindrical connector, is a connector with circular interface and shell design, widely used in industrial, communications, medical, aerospace and other fields. 

Circular Connector Structure

The basic structure of the circular connector includes the following parts:

• Connector plug: The connector plug is the male part of the connector, usually composed of metal pins, insulators, housings, etc.

• Connector socket: The connector socket is the female part of the connector, usually composed of a metal sleeve, insulator, shell, etc.

• Sealing ring: The sealing ring is used to seal the gap between the connector plug and socket to prevent dust and moisture from entering the connector and affecting the connection performance.

• Waterproof cap: Waterproof cap is used to protect connector plugs and sockets from rain, snow and other erosion.

Circular Connector Selection

When choosing a circular connector, the following factors need to be considered:

• Application field: Select the appropriate connector type according to the application field, such as industrial connectors, communication connectors, medical connectors, etc.

• Connection mode: Select the appropriate connector plug and socket according to the connection mode, such as threaded connection, clip connection, plug and pull connection, etc.

• Number of pins: Select the appropriate number of pins according to the number of transmitted signals.

• Rated current and voltage: Select the connector with the appropriate rated current and voltage according to the transmission current and voltage.

• Protection level: Select the appropriate protection level connector according to the application environment.

• Brand and price: Choose a well-known brand connector, and consider the price factor.

Maintenance of Circular Connectors

Circular connectors should pay attention to the following maintenance matters during use:

1．Regularly check whether the connector is damaged or loose, and repair or replace it in time.

2．Clean connector plugs and sockets to remove impurities such as dust and water.

3．When using connectors in wet or dusty environments, pay attention to water and dust resistance.

4．When inserting and removing the connector, handle it gently to avoid excessive force.

Circular connector is a robust, reliable, versatile and widely used connection solution, which plays an important role in industrial, communications, medical, aerospace and other fields. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the performance and function of circular connectors will also continue to improve, and will be more widely used in the future.
