Tag: circular connector

A circular connector is a type of electromechanical component used to make or break an electric circuit. These multi-pin connectors are basically cylinder-shaped and feature a circular mating surface designed for connection. What does its inner structure looks like? How do we disassemble it for wiring? What benefits could it bring to us? Where are they applied? This blog will lead you to the answers.

Connector is also called as plug socket, it's widely used in all kinds of electrical circuits to connect or disconnect the circuit. The electrical connector has many types and wide applications, proper selection of circular connector is also an important way to improve the connector reliability.

Electrical parameter requirements

1. Rated voltage
   Rated voltage is also known as working voltage, it's mainly determined by the insulation materials used by circular connector and the distance between the contact pairs. Some component devices may not be able to perform their functions when using below the rated voltage.
2. Rated current
   Just the same as the rated voltage, the circular connector may not work normally in the current below the rated current. In the design of circular connectors requirements for rated current are met through the thermal design of the circular connector, because the contact pairs will be heated when current passed due to the existence of conductor resistance and contact resistance.
