Avatar photo

Industrial operations demand reliable connectivity solutions that withstand harsh environments and facilitate seamless operations. The RS PRO range of Industrial Circular Connectors presents a diverse array of connectors designed for robust performance in challenging conditions.

What are Industrial Circular Connectors? 

Industrial Circular Connectors are heavy-duty components housed within a circular body, featuring multiple contacts. These connectors are specifically engineered for demanding environments, often boasting high IP ratings like IP67, IP68, and IP69K. This high level of protection against moisture and dust makes them ideal for usage in high-moisture environments and industries where ruggedness is crucial.

Understanding IP Ratings

The IP ratings associated with these connectors signify their resistance to intrusion, including dust, dirt, moisture, and mechanical or electrical part protection. An IP67 rating indicates a high level of durability against these elements, ensuring reliability in demanding conditions. 

Types of RS PRO Industrial Circular Connectors

The RS PRO range offers a variety of connectors designed for specific applications, these include: 

Circular Cable Mount Connectors

These connectors are ideal for panel mounting in production and manufacturing environments. They feature a bayonet interface, ensuring compatibility with cable mount plugs. Their IP67 rating ensures durability, making them suitable for harsh environments where reliable connections are vital.

Straight Cable Mount Connectors

Specifically designed for challenging environments, these IP67-rated connectors, made from PC and Nylon 66, are resilient against extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and contact with chemicals or oils. They are easily installed due to the bayonet coupling and are best suited for panel mounting in sensing and automation systems.

Right Angled Cable Mount Connectors

Offering space-saving design without compromising durability, these connectors are also IP67-rated, ensuring reliability in tough environments. Quick and easy to install, they are suitable for panel mounting in industrial environments or outdoor applications requiring secure, waterproof connections in limited spaces.

Inline Cable Connectors

These connectors complement straight connectors, sharing similar features and advantages, making them suitable for panel mounting in industrial settings or outdoor applications where space is restricted.

Rear Nut Panel Mount Connectors

Designed for ease of installation and boasting an IP67 rating, these connectors are suitable for panel mounting in automation systems or outdoor applications where secure, waterproof connections are required in limited spaces.

Two Hole Flange Mount Connectors

Easy to mount with bolts onto thick panels, these connectors, like others in the RS PRO range, feature an IP67 rating and are designed for panel mounting in industrial environments or outdoor settings where space is constrained.

Applications of Industrial Circular Connectors

The versatility of RS PRO Industrial Circular Connectors makes them indispensable across various sectors:

·   Factory and Industrial Automation: Ensuring uninterrupted operations in harsh environments, reducing downtime, and maintenance costs.

·   Manufacturing: Maintaining critical connections in the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent quality output and compliance with regulations.

·   Process Control: Enhancing reliability and precision by safeguarding against moisture and contaminants.
