Circular & modular connectors
Circular and modular connectors are reliable solutions for electrical and data communication applications in industry, automation, defence, telecom and other demanding environments. These connectors combine robust mechanical construction with high electrical performance and flexible configuration options, making them the first choice when quality, durability and configurability are essential.
Circular connectors
Circular connectors are characterised by:
- Metal or plastic enclosures that provide both mechanical protection and environmental resistance.
- Flexible connector configurations, including multi-channel arrangements for power, signal and optical fibre connections in the same unit.
- Various connection techniques, such as crimping and soldering, for easy assembly and servicing.
- Strong environmental resistance, sealing against dust, moisture and liquids, making them suitable for industrial and outdoor environments.
- High mechanical durability, against vibration, shock and temperature variations.
- Wide range of voltage and current, making them useful in everything from low voltage signalling to power applications.
- Hybrid solutions, where several types of connectors can be combined in the same housing, reducing wiring and simplifying installation.
Modular connectors
Modular connectors are mainly used in computer networks and communication systems and have the following characteristics:
- High speed and stable signal transmission, support for Gigabit Ethernet and higher network speeds.
- EMI (electromagnetic interference) protection that ensures signal integrity even in noisy environments.
- Protected locking clips that reduce the risk of mechanical damage and increase the life of the connector.
- Simplified assembly with support for both solid and multicore cables, facilitating automated production.
- Flexibility and customisation, thanks to a modular approach that allows you to combine different connections and standards.
- Standard compatibility, supporting CAT5, CAT5e, 10gbit and other relevant industry standards.
Benefits and uses
Circular and modular connectors are used when reliable connections are essential and space, environment and performance are important factors in, for example:
- Industry and automation: connect control systems, machines and sensors with high reliability.
- Telecommunications and data centres: secure and fast signal transmission with modular solutions.
- Defence and aerospace: robust, environmentally resistant connectors for extreme conditions.
- Transport and vehicles: hybrid solutions combining power, signal and data in the same connector.
- Medical devices: small and reliable solutions where safety and precision are critical.
