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 are the common materials for circular connector housings?
Common shell materials include metal (such as aluminum, stainless steel) and plastic. Metal casings typically have better shielding and corrosion resistance, while plastic casings are lightweight and suitable for applications that do not require shielding.
-
3. What are the installation methods for circular connector housings?
Common installation methods include panel installation, PCB installation, or free hanging. Choosing the appropriate installation method for the casing should consider the overall design requirements of the system.
-
4. How can circular connector housings improve the durability of connectors?
The shell can significantly extend the service life of the connector in harsh environments by providing protective measures such as mechanical strength, dust prevention, and waterproofing.
