AHDPBS-0406-001

Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps

Circular connectors are a type of electrical connector that offer superior protection against dust, dirt, and water. Circular connectors are most commonly used in industrial applications due to their quick and easy installation, cost effectiveness, and high performance. The AHDPBS-0406-001 is a heavy duty, uninsulated panel-mounted, shielded circular connector with a shielded backshell.

AHDPBS-0406-001 Application Field and Working Principle

The AHDPBS-0406-001 is designed for use in harsh, rugged environments where dust, dirt, and vibration can present challenges to connecting electronic equipment. It is suitable for use in industrial grade applications including military, aerospace, power distribution, telecommunications, and automotive. The AHDPBS-0406-001 is designed for mounting on ruggedized panels or plates. It consists of a circular shell with internal radials that are designed for termination to wires in an 8-way or 16-way configuration. The shell also features a threaded coupling nut and a captive clamping arrangement that securely locks the backshell to the mounting plate.

The AHDPBS-0406-001 is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors or equivalent connectors. The RJ45 connector has two rows of eight pins (or four rows of four pins in the case of 8-way) and a latching mechanism that allows for secure mating. The RJ45 is connected to the backshell by an 8P8C (Eight Position, Eight Contact) or a 6P4C (Six Position, Four Contact) cable clamp. The clamping arrangement secures the connector to the backshell while providing strain relief to the cable. It also provides electrical insulation between the pins and shell. The cable clamp can be used with a range of cables including coaxial, twisted pair, and shielded cables.

The connector also features a full 360° metal shell shielding that ensures an effective shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The full shielding provides greater protection against radio frequency signals, reducing noise and improving signal integrity. Additionally, the AHDPBS-0406-001 has a metal locking mechanism that ensures a secure connection between the backshell and panel, even in hostile environments.

The AHDPBS-0406-001 is a reliable, robust circular connector for use in industrial applications where dust, dirt, and vibration are encountered. Its simple installation, cost effectiveness, and superior performance make it an ideal choice for connecting electronic equipment in harsh environments.
