Plastic Circular Connectors Product Roundup  

This week’s Product Roundup highlights plastic circular connectors from leading connector manufacturers and suppliers.

Plastic Circular Connectors

The Micro Circular Series utilizes Omnetics’ rugged and reliable Flex-Pin contact system. Spaced on 50 mil (1.27mm) centerlines, they feature a mated length of less than 12.4 mm. Both the male and female contacts are shrouded by the plastic insulators to protect the contacts during mating and unmating. Outer diameters range from 5.6 mm to 10.0 mm. With the ability to withstand high shock and vibration while maintaining their electrical integrity, these connectors are ideal for the most demanding applications. Gold plated beryllium copper flex pins make these connectors capable of handling over 2,000 mating cycles.

The Phoenix Contact PRC connector system delivers a rugged, space-saving solution for signal, data transmission, and power in a single hybrid connector. Designed for fast, error-free installation with your choice of proven crimp or screw connection technology, no special tools are required. PRC supports currents up to 35 A and voltages up to 600 V with UL 2238 in a compact footprint. Built for harsh environments, it offers protection ratings up to IP69, impact resistance up to IK08, and reliable performance under vibration and shock. Mechanical and color coding simplify installation and identification. With 2 to 5 position configurations and a comprehensive portfolio of power distributors, field connectors, and panel feed-throughs, PRC is an ideal solution for demanding industrial applications.

QUIK-LOQ plastic circular connectors from NorComp, an EDAC Group company, use a push-pull locking system for quick connection and removal. They are available in multiple contact configurations and colors.

binder’s Series 720 connectors from CDM Inc. feature the single-action, snap-in locking mechanism that enables fast, tool-free mating while maintaining sealed integrity in the field. These miniature-format connectors deliver IP67-rated protection, making them ideal for industrial automation and medical equipment operating in demanding environments. 720 Series current ratings are from 1 A to 7 A, with voltage ratings at 125 V to 250 V. Gold-plated brass contacts ensure superior conductivity and long-term performance, while the durable polyamide housing meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards. Operating temperature range is -40 °C to +85 °C (-40 °F to +185 °F), making this series suitable for extreme thermal cycling. Color coding (blue, green, or red) allows for easy matching of connectors for mating.

Amphenol LTW’s circular connectors offer a lightweight yet rugged solution, with a wide variety of mounting options to meet specific panel and cable requirements. Polarized design features also ensure error-proof mating, minimizing the risk of improper connections during assembly. Plastic circular connectors feature a user-friendly interface with a thread-assist system and secure positive-lock coupling mechanism, enabling fast and effortless installation and removal. Whether the application requires power transmission, reliable signal connectivity, or a hybrid solution, this series is engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments.

NEUTRIK’s opticalCON LITE fiber optic system provides a ruggedized connection solution for permanent and semi-permanent installations. The lightweight, compact, and robust plastic housing is ready for high mating cycles and provides a safe and cost-effective connection in broadcast, studios, theaters, and live events. Employing a novel fiber structure, the cable used with opticalCON LITE is designed to meet the extreme conditions of the entertainment industry. The cable offers excellent bending performance, a compact design, and extreme flexibility that far exceeds the mechanical strength of conventional patch cables.
