27911-20T12 Datasheet/PDFCircular Connectors are widely used in industries such as medical, aerospace, and automation. Two of the most popular circular connectors are the 27911-20T12 and the 20T12. The 27911-20T12 is a 2-pole, 12-position connector that is constructed of a lightweight aluminum shell with a dielectric insert. It is capable of maintaining secure connections in the most extreme environments, such as those found in military aircraft or spacecraft.
The 20T12 is a 3-pole, 12-position circular connector with a solid metal body and an insulated core. It is designed to provide a reliable electrical connection in machines such as those found in the industrial and medical fields. Unlike the 27911-20T12, the 20T12 connector requires no soldering as it is self-contained and easy to assemble.
The applications of circular connectors are as varied as the types available. They are used to connect various types of cables and wires in applications ranging from automotive to medical devices. They are also used to connect power sources, provide signal pathways, and connect devices to devices. Circular connectors are also widely used in communications networks, from satellite and cellular systems to computer network systems.
Circular connectors have two main components; the contact and the housing. The contact is the part that makes the connection between the two circuits and can be either male or female. Male contacts have a protruding conductive pin, while female contacts have a conductive socket. The housing is the part that holds the contacts in place and can be made from various materials, such as aluminum or plastic.
The working principle of a circular connector is relatively simple. When the contact pins are mated together, an electrical connection is created due to the contact\'s conductive properties. This connection allows electricity to flow from one contact to the other, completing an electrical circuit. This circuit can then be used to transmit signals, electrical energy, or other data.
Circular connectors are of great use in a variety of industries due to their simple construction and wide range of applications. They are often used for both low-voltage and high-voltage applications, and can be adapted to many different cable configurations. Their robust design also ensures that they are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and conditions, making them ideal for many harsh environments.
