1. What is the main function of the circular connector housing?
The shell mainly plays a protective and fixing role, protecting the connector from external environmental influences such as moisture, dust, and impact, and ensuring a secure connection of the cable to prevent cable loosening.
-
2. What is the protection level of the circular connector housing?
The protection level is usually represented by an IP code, such as IP67. This level indicates the protective ability of the shell against solids (such as dust) and liquids (such as water). High IP rating is suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
-
3. What are the standard dimensions for circular connector housings?
The size of the casing usually depends on the type of connector and the application environment, with multiple diameters, lengths, and shapes to choose from. Typical sizes include M12, M16, M23, and so on.
-
4. How does the circular connector housing ensure the mechanical stress release of the cable?
The casing is usually equipped with cable clamps or stress relief devices, which firmly fix the cable to prevent mechanical stress caused by pulling or bending from being transmitted to the electrical connection part of the connector, thereby extending the life of the connector.
