1838240-1

Circular Cable Assemblies include a variety of connectors and cable-assemblies that simplify the connection and transmission of information and data. The 1838240-1 circular cable assembly, commonly referred to as a CGA, is a popular connection system used in aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics. CGA connectors are comprised of a pin, grooved socket, and insulation sleeve, and feature a unique three-piece mating system.

The 1838240-1 CGA connectors are designed for use in aviation and space applications based on their precision and small size. These connectors typically feature eight pins and are used to interface small circuits within applications such as aircraft control systems. These types of circuits require a reliable connection between two electronic devices as well as insulation to prevent interference between them. The 1838240-1 CGA connectors provide both the electrical and mechanical connection as well as a secondary locking feature that ensures a reliable connection in a compact package.

The 1838240-1 CGA connectors also feature a unique insulation sleeve that provides additional electrical insulation and protection. This insulation sleeve is comprised of a durable plastic material that surrounds the pins and socket and prevents unintentional contact between them. The insulation sleeve also protects the electronics of the connected devices from interference and damage caused by external sources of electrical noise or vibration. The insulation sleeve also offers protection against the ingress of moisture or dust.

The 1838240-1 CGA connectors are designed for easy assembly and installation. They feature a small, compact design that allows them to be installed in tight spaces or confined areas. The high-density pins and socket configuration provides additional space savings for tight installations. The connector’s pin and socket design also provides a secure connection and prevents accidental disconnection. Additionally, the connector’s cable has been designed to provide strain relief to the connected devices.

The 1838240-1 CGA connectors provide a reliable connection for a variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics. Their small size and precision, combined with their unique three-piece mating system and insulated sleeve, make them ideal for applications where reliability and space-savings are critical. The 1838240-1 CGA connectors are designed to provide electrical and mechanical connection and prevent interference between connected devices.
