42296

Connectors are an important part of any electronic system, as they allow the transmission of signals between parts. Circular connectors are one of the most widely used connector styles, due to their robustness and the variety of accessories they offer. The 42296 circular connector is a female-wired variant of the standard connector, with a variety of features and accessories that make it suitable for many applications.

The 42296 is designed for use in both harsh and non-harsh environments including automotive, industrial, medical, and aerospace applications. The connector has a robust brass construction, and features a threaded coupling nut for secure connection. It also features a higher voltage rating, up to 600V, and a low contact resistance, helping to reduce interference and ensure reliable performance in critical applications.

The 42296 is available in multiple sizes, with three configurations: unshielded, shielded, and water proofed. The shielded version includes a contact shield to further reduce electrical interference, while the waterproofed version has a sealed cap to prevent ingress of debris. Other features include a IP67 water-resistant rating, vibration and shock proofing, and a high-frequency range for signal integrity.

The 42296 also offers a few special features, including a special tamper-resistant design that prevents loosening the nut during operation. In addition, a drain outlet allows for moisture to be drained away, which helps to reduce the risk of corrosion. Finally, the connector includes mounting flanges for easier installation in tight spaces.

In terms of working principle, the 42296 connector is quite simple. When connected, the contacts of the female connector make contact with the contacts of the male connector, allowing for the transfer of signals between the two. The contacts are maintained by a series of spring-loaded balls, which ensure that the connections remain secure even under vibration or shock.

The 42296 is a versatile and robust connector, and is suitable for a wide range of applications. The wide selection of accessories, including the special tamper-resistant designs and mounting flanges, make this connector suitable for almost any situation. With its high voltage rating, low contact resistance, and vibration and shock proofing, the 42296 is an excellent choice for any application.
