What Are The Differences In Shape Of Industrial Connectors?

There are many types of heavy duty 2 pin connector. If classified by shape, the common ones are circular heavy duty connector 16 pin and rectangular heavy duty connector 5 pin. This article mainly introduces these two types of heavy duty connector 6 pin. Each has its own advantages, how to choose? For more information, please see the following:

First, take a brief look at the definitions of these two heavy duty electrical contacts.

heavy duty male female connector is a heavy duty industrial connector with a cylindrical basic structure and a circular mating surface. In the interconnection classification, it belongs to Class 5. It is used for interconnection between devices. In a broad sense, it includes low-frequency circular connectors, other RF coaxial connectors, and audio connectors. The cylindrical structure of the circular connector has a natural firmness and higher strength than any other shape.

The plugs and sockets of the circular connector are mostly threaded, and the connection terminals can range from two to hundreds. It has the characteristics of small size and high reliability, and can meet the needs of cable connection between electronic devices.

A rectangular connector is a connector with a basic rectangular shape and a basic rectangular mating surface. The rectangular connector is also a multi-contact low-frequency connector. The cross section is rectangular, which is conducive to the high-density arrangement of contact pairs. According to the connection characteristics, rectangular connectors can also be divided into straight-in connectors and locking connectors.

According to the performance and structural characteristics, there are many types such as non-sealed type, sealed type, high-low voltage mixed type, high-low frequency mixed type, etc. Some have no shell, and the mounting part is the concave edge on the insulator; some are attached with a simple metal mounting plate; others have a complete shell.

The rectangular connector is locked by a multi-purpose lock, that is, by the locking spring and flange on the side of the shell. Simple structure. Simple operation.

The difference between circular connectors and rectangular connectors

Whether it is circular, rectangular or other types of connectors, they play a huge role in our lives. The difference between circular connectors and rectangular connectors lies not only in shape, but also in the field of application. Due to its powerful characteristics, circular connectors are widely used in the field of industrial equipment.

Rectangular connectors are mainly used in the field of electronic equipment due to their high space utilization. Friends who have assembled computers by themselves may know better that the connectors in the computer host are all rectangular connectors. In addition, the robustness of circular connectors is better than that of rectangular connectors.
