Top reasons to use rectangular industrial connectors

Customized modularity has proven to be a game-changer for rectangular connectivity. It covers all the restrictions and inflexible modularity that circular connectors offer. Today, rectangular connectors are modular. A modular rectangular connector provides brilliant convenience and pricing. It is assembled fully from standard, stocked, parts- cover, module, cable gland and hood – as per the precise and often complicated needs of the applications. Designers can pick housing that can fit in 1 to 12 densities and media in a single connector, containing low or high voltage power, Ethernet, Fiber optic, coaxial and PoE lines.


Here are some of the top reasons to use rectangular industrial connectors:

  • Rectangular connectors save on space

Yes, they are space-efficient. A single rectangular connector can do the things that usually two or more circular connectors are needed to perform. This simplifies the wiring layout in and out of the device. Rectangular connectors don’t have big minimum spacing needs. While you need a complete hand to grip a circular connector, rectangular connectors can be held by the sides. 

Another unique space-saving functionality of the rectangular connectors is that they can be linked directly to a PCB with the help of a PCB adaptor to present a good electronic package. Only rectangular connectors have surface mounting ability. 

  • Several cablings options

Rectangular industrial connectors offer better flexibility to optimize the location, cable choice and wiring path of the connector. 

The casings are available with side, top and angled entry on the cable side. It can be easily optimized for hybrid, circular, flat or multiple single cables. It doesn’t cause any strain on the cable. 

  • More robust, simpler to install

Rectangular connectors are simpler and better in several aspects. Because of CNC panel machining and punches, it is simple to make rectangular cutouts. In some cases, a rectangular connector is mounted on a circular panel cutout.

  • Simpler mating

You can never mate rectangular connectors wrongly. They offer noticeable polarization. Even blindfolded, you have a 50% chance of mating a rectangular connector right on the first attempt and a 100% chance on the next. Firm coding and guide pins do not allow mis-mating.

  • Reliability

Rectangular connectors are more reliable as they safeguard against vibration, the locking fundamentals and covers on rectangular connectors don’t permit any dirt or dust penetration. They offer a variety of environmental safety including UV resistance, corrosion security and protection up to IP69k. This makes the connector suitable for any environment and enhances its lifetime operation.

  • Benefits in the energy sector

Rectangular connectors have all the benefits which are needed for every industry right from modular, personalization, lower price and space efficacy. However, several energy applications still use circular connectors but a rectangular connector proves to be a better solution here. Though circular connectors work well, they may not be the best option considering efficacy, safety or cost factors.

In comparison to circular connectors, rectangular connectors are cost-effective, with lower lead times and easily customized. They also have a feasible grounding system that offers more protection against overvoltage along with visual polarization with better mating and prevention from mis-mating.

A complete guide to CAT 5 cable

Image
 An Ethernet cable connects devices to networks, that’s the primary purpose of the cable. And just as the regular internet connection tends to vary in speed and bandwidth, so does the Ethernet. Yes, there are various kinds and what makes the issue more difficult is the fact that networking standards tend to differ widely. As a result, you are bound to feel a little confused when it comes to selecting the right Ethernet cable for your organization. And that’s why you need to review the following, especially as it happens to be a complete guide to CAT 5 . • What does CAT mean?: Let’s see, you have been browsing online for Ethernet a while now. And yes, you are bound to come across various specifications such as CAT5, RG48, etc. The former stands for category while the later is meant to denote radio guide. That’s a tad more confusing right? The one you need to focus on is category. As it is, there are several categories in Ethernet, from 1 to higher numbers. And a general rule of th...
