980-8610-000

Circular connectors represent one of the major classes of electrical connectors, offering a fast, reliable and cost-effective means of connecting power and data cables. They are used in a broad range of industries and fields for a variety of applications. The 980-8610-000 is one of the most popular and widely used circular connectors, known for its excellent performance in extreme environments.

The 980-8610-000 is a multi-pin circular connector made of a die-cast aluminum alloy body with a stainless steel shroud for extra durability. It is designed to provide reliable electrical contact between two mating connectors in environments such as high temperatures, water, oils and greases. This connector is also resistant to impact, corrosion and UV radiation.

The 980-8610-000 is rated to deliver up to 3 amps of current at up to 450 volts between its contacts. It is available in two versions – one with 8-pins and the other with 10-pins. The pins are spaced in standard 8 mm / 10 mm pitch, allowing for easy connection to other connectors. The connector also features a shrouded design and a snap-lock mechanism that reduces the risk of short circuiting.

The 980-8610-000 is widely used in a variety of applications, including motor control, industrial automation, machine controls, railway systems, and consumer electronics, amongst others. It is also popular in medical and aerospace applications, due to its high level of reliability in demanding environments.

The 980-8610-000 works on the principle of electrical continuity. It provides a means of connection between two separate conductors – usually two cables. The connector has two mating parts – one with female contacts and the other with male contacts. These contacts are made of metals that allow for low-resistance current paths when the connector is mated. When the two parts are mated, the contacts are held together by a spring mechanism that ensures a secure connection. This allows for the transfer of electricity with no disruption.

The 980-8610-000 is a reliable and cost-effective circular connector designed to provide secure connections for a variety of applications in demanding environments. It is suitable for use with cables or wires in a range of industries, from consumer electronics to medical and aerospace. With its rugged construction and spring-loaded contacts, it is a reliable and dependable connector for a wide range of applications.
