Cable connector

Cable connectors provide a detachable connection between cables and equipment, or between two sections of cable. These ready-to-assemble connectors allow for on-site installation directly onto the selected cable with the appropriate cross-section and insulation diameter.

Design types and technical specifications

Circular connectors in accordance with IEC 61076 cover pin counts ranging from 2 to 40. The standard sizes, M8 to M23, offer current-carrying capacities from 2 A to 40 A at rated voltages of up to 630 V. Protection ratings range from IP40 for indoor applications to IP68 for continuous underwater use. Locking systems include bayonet, screw and push-pull mechanisms.

Audio connectors such as XLR types comply with IEC 61076-2-103 and have between 3 and 7 pins. The gold-plated contacts guarantee low contact resistance of less than 3 mΩ. Coaxial connectors of the BNC, TNC or N-type operate with characteristic impedances of 50 Ω or 75 Ω for frequencies up to 18 GHz.

Power connectors for power transmission can handle currents of up to 125A at 400V AC. The crimp or screw terminals accommodate conductor cross-sections ranging from 0.14mm² to 50mm². In our range: Neutrik, Binder.

Typical areas of application

In mechanical engineering, circular connectors link sensors, actuators and control systems in harsh industrial environments. Electrical installations use power connectors for temporary power supplies on building sites or in event technology. Audio and video productions rely on XLR and BNC connections for interference-free signal transmission. In measurement and testing technology, high-frequency-compatible coaxial connectors ensure precise measurement results in RF applications.
