An introduction to circular connectors
The past week, I’ve seen several press releases come across my desk for circular connectors, so it got me thinking about what they are used for. I’m working on getting materials specifically about M12 circular connectors, but here’s a quick rundown on what circular connectors are used for, mostly in part from information supplied by […]
Micro-sized connectors for multiple pin interconnection systems
Micro-sized, (0.050 in. pitch), connectors in compact metal or over-molded polymer shells offer major size and weight reductions for circuits requiring multiple pin interconnection systems. Omnetics offers an extensive array of micro-circular connector styles and formats using its specially designed flex-pin contacts. These configurations are available solder cup, thru-hole and pre-wired up to 26 gauge […]
