Circular Connectors - Housings are an important part of circular connectors that provide physical support and protection for connectors. This housing is usually made of metal or high-strength plastic, which ensures the stable operation of the connector in complex and changeable environments. The design of the circular connector housing takes into account mechanical strength, electromagnetic shielding, protection level and other factors to meet the needs of different applications.

Circular Connectors-Housings In the field of industrial automation, circular connector housings have become an indispensable part of connecting various automation equipment and control systems because of their durability and easy maintenance. In the aerospace industry, in the face of extreme environmental conditions and demanding performance requirements, the circular connector housing ensures the reliable operation of the connector in extreme conditions such as high altitude, high speed, high temperature and low temperature by using high-strength materials, special surface treatment and precision sealing design. In addition, in many industries such as automotive electronics, medical equipment, communication equipment, energy and power, the circular connector shell also plays a key role, providing a solid guarantee for the stable connection and efficient operation of electrical and electronic equipment.

• 1. How to install the circular connector housing?

  1. Welding installation‌: This installation method requires the metal housing of the circular connector and the welding points of the equipment to be cleaned and polished to ensure the quality of welding, so as to achieve a firm connection to the equipment. The characteristics of welding installation are firm installation and reliable connection, which is suitable for application scenarios with high requirements for connection strength.
  ‌2. Threaded installation‌: Threaded installation is to fix the circular connector through threads. This installation method is simple and can select the appropriate thread specifications and lengths according to the size and requirements of the equipment to ensure that the connector is firmly fixed. The characteristics of threaded installation are easy installation and replaceability, which is suitable for situations where frequent replacement is required or installation speed is required.
  

• 2. Circular connector structure?

  1. Shell: Usually made of materials such as metal or plastic, it serves as the shell of the entire connector and is used to protect the internal electronic components. The shape of the shell is usually circular or cylindrical.
  2. Plug: A part of the connector, usually fixed at one end of the device, and its structure includes the center lead, shell, contact, etc.
  3. Socket: The other part of the connector, usually fixed at the other end of the device. The socket usually corresponds to the structure of the plug and is composed of pins, contacts, etc.
  4. The key part of the connector, used to transmit signals and energy between the plug and the socket. The contact is usually made of conductive metals such as copper, which has high conductivity and corrosion resistance.
  5. Sealing ring: Used for sealing the connector to protect the internal components from external influences such as water, corrosion, dust, etc.

• 3. Connector shell material?

  ‌Plastic‌: Plastic connector shells usually have good insulation properties and low cost, and are suitable for some low-voltage and low-frequency application scenarios. Commonly used plastic materials are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamide (PA), polypropylene (PP), etc. Plastic materials are light, but may not be as durable as metal materials.
  ‌Metal‌: Metal connector housings have high wear resistance, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, and are suitable for high-voltage, high-frequency, and high-speed transmission applications. Commonly used metal materials include ‌aluminum alloy, ‌stainless steel, copper, etc. Metal materials are strong, but the cost is high and may not be as light as plastic.
  ‌Alloy‌: Alloy connector housings combine the advantages of metal and plastic, with good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Commonly used alloy materials include ‌zinc alloy, ‌magnesium alloy, ‌aluminum-magnesium alloy, etc. Alloy materials combine the strength of me
