Circular Connector M12 panel mount
Circular connector is a connector used for interconnecting devices, which is characterized by small size, light weight, fast connection, fast separation, etc.. It is mainly used for transmitting many types of signals such as power, signals, and data. The advantages of a circular connector are that it has a cylindrical structure with a higher strength to weight ratio than any other shape, it is easy to machine with standard machine tools, it is easier to seal, and it is easy to mating and un-mating. Its disadvantage is that the circular surface area restricts the arrangement of pins and jacks on the connector surface.

The structure of the circular connector is mainly composed of the connection shell, locking plug and contact body. The connection shell is the main body of the connector and is used to secure and protect the components inside the connector. The locking plug is the plug part of the connector and is used to make connections with external devices. The contact body is the contact part of the connector and is used to transmit signals and current.

Circular connectors are available in a wide variety of types, which can be categorized according to different standards and applications. For example, M12, M8, DIN and Mini-DIN are common standardized non-military circular connectors, and their names stand for the diameter and pitch of the mating retention threads, as well as the outer diameter of the housing. m12 and m8 were first standardized by the IEC, with m12 being introduced in 1985, and m8 being introduced in the 1980's. din connectors are standardized by the Deutsche Institut für Normungsgesellschaft (DIN). The standard number is 41524, which was replaced in 2011 by standard 60130-9. Mini-DIN connectors are similar to DIN but are smaller, with an outer shell diameter of 9mm, and differ in their typical use.

Circular connectors are used in a wide range of applications, including military, aviation, aerospace, railroad, automotive, industrial automation and medical. For example, in the aerospace field, circular connectors can be used to make connections between electronic devices inside an airplane. In the medical field, circular connectors can be used for the connection between medical equipment, such as electrocardiographs, monitors and so on.

There are also many manufacturers of circular connectors, among which Shenzhen Konewall Technology Co. The company provides wire harness customized production and sales services, and can customize various types of circular connectors according to customers' needs.

In a word, circular connector is a widely used connector for electronic equipment, with the advantages of small size, light weight, fast connection, fast separation, etc. It is widely used in military, aviation, aerospace, railroad, automobile, industrial automation and medical treatment.
