About Circular Connectors

Circular connectors are used primarily for external interfacing. Typical applications include measuring equipment, industrial sensors, industrial equipment and machines, computers and peripherals, medical equipment, and audio and video equipment. Military style connectors are not included in this product area. A connector will either be male type (with pins) or female type (with sockets). A male connector includes pins that plug into a socket or similar receptacle. A female connector consists of sockets that are aligned to mesh with a pin-type connector. Features common to circular connectors include coupling or adapters, cryogenic use, environment restraint, gold plated contacts, hermetically sealed, insulated body, locking nut, underwater use, washdown capable and weatherproof.

Products & Services Related to Circular Connectors

Coaxial Connectors

Coaxial connectors are composed of an insulated central conducting wire wrapped in another cylindrical conductor (the shield). The cable is usually wrapped in another insulating layer and an outer protective layer. Coaxial cables and connectors have the capacity to carry vast quantities of information. They are typically used in high-speed data and CATV applications.

Edge Card Connectors

Edge card connectors are edge-on connectors designed for single-sided or double-sided printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Gender Changers

Gender changers are devices that change the end of a cable into another type, allowing two cable assemblies with the same or different genders to mate.

Heavy Duty Rectangular Connectors

Heavy duty rectangular connectors are designed to accommodate large electrical loads and direct signals under a multitude of operating conditions.

Military (MIL-SPEC) Connectors

Military (MIL-SPEC) connectors are built in accordance with military specifications. Their design takes into account the need to protect the connection from environmental factors, allowing them to be used in military and aerospace applications.

Modular Connectors and RJ Connectors

Modular connectors and RJ connectors are plug-in units used in many networking and telecommunications applications. Registered jack (RJ) connectors are a type of modular connector, which often have protective capabilities such as integrated filters to protect against unwanted signals or some type of magnetics to provide filtering, signal conditioning, and isolation.

USB Connectors

USB connectors are used with universal serial bus (USB) ports. They can be used to connect USB products together, or to connect USB wires and peripherals to other standard port types.
