How to connect and use circular electrical connectors

<p>Circular<a href="https://www.aptekcables.com/circular-connectors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> connectors</a> are types of connectors with a cylindrical basic structure and a circular mating surface. Next, we will show you how to connect using circular electrical connectors.</p><p><br></p><p>1. In the connector design process, the thermal design of the circular electrical connector is used to meet the rated current requirements, because when the current flows through the contact pair, due to the presence of conductor resistance and contact resistance, the contact pair will heat up.</p><p><br></p><p>2. When the heat exceeds a certain limit, it will destroy the insulation of the circular electrical connector and form contact to soften the surface coating, causing failure.</p><p><br></p><p>3. To limit the rated current, in fact, limit the temperature rise inside the connector not to exceed the designed value.</p><p><br></p><p>4. The question to pay attention to when choosing is: For multi-core circular electrical connectors, the rated current must be derated for use.</p><p><br></p><p>5.This should be paid more attention to in large current occasions. For example, the φ3.5mm contact pair is generally specified to have a rated current of 50A, but when it is used with 5 cores, it should be derated by 33%, that is, the rated current of each core is only 38A. The more cores, the greater the derating.</p><p><br></p>
