1. How to choose a suitable circular connector housing?
When choosing a casing, the following factors need to be considered:
Application environment (indoor, outdoor or industrial environment)
Protection level
Connector type and specifications
Required shielding performance
Materials and corrosion resistance performance -
2. Does the circular connector housing have shielding function?
Some metal casings provide electromagnetic shielding (EMI/RFI) for high-frequency signal transmission applications to prevent electromagnetic interference.
-
3. How to ensure compatibility between the casing and internal connectors?
When selecting a casing, it is necessary to confirm its size, thread specifications, installation method, and compatibility with internal connectors to ensure that the casing can be fully adapted.
