Circular Connector Housings

Circular connectors contain multiple pins or contacts for the transfer of power or data, housed within a cylindrical shape. They have many advantages over their rectangular counterparts, making them a widely used component in many different industries, including military and aerospace. The circular shape means several pins or contacts can be confined within a small and compact space. They can also house different types of contacts, create strong and hermetically sealed connections and are often able to stand up to tough conditions. The cylindrical housing in which the pins are placed is what makes their design so successful.
