MS27511C18C

Circular connectors are a type of precision electric connector used to terminate insulated cables or wires in electrical equipment. The connection is made through a hole that is cut, drilled, or punched in insulation and the connector is then secured in the hole with screws or a clamping mechanism. The MS27511C18C is a type of circular connector made by Amphenol that is designed for high reliability applications.

Applications

The MS27511C18C is designed for mission critical applications in the industrial, aerospace, medical, and military markets. The connector offers a wide range of options for customization to meet a variety of performance requirements. It features a high-temperature resistant zinc alloy mount that can withstand temperatures up to 200°C, as well as a thermoplastic shell that offers superior durability. Further, the MS27511C18C is UL approved and certified for live insert and removal operations. Thus, its use in certain applications is certified for limited vibration or shock environments.

Working principle

The circular connector of the MS27511C18C consists of two main parts: the body and the crimp cap. The body is made of brass or zinc alloy and forms the interior of the connector. Inside the body, there are three conductive pins that are surrounded by insulation and a polyurethane gasket. These pins are inserted into the corresponding holes in the board to make an electrical connection. The crimp cap is a cylindrical metal sleeve that holds the pins in place. It is connected to the board by crimping and it also helps to ensure a strong electrical and mechanical connection. The pins are then tightened with a setscrew and the connector is ready to use.

The MS27511C18C is designed to provide a secure connection for critical applications and it is suitable for a variety of power, signal, and data cables. Its two-piece design allows for quick and easy installation, and its high-temperature resistant construction ensures long-term reliability. This reliable and cost-effective connector meets a range of performance demands and is an ideal choice for a variety of high-end applications.
