XLRSeries™ AC Series, Circular Connector Accessories

Circular connector accessories are additional components that are used in conjunction with circular connectors to enhance their functionality or provide added protection. These accessories come in a variety of types and serve different purposes. One common accessory is the adapter, which allows for the connection of circular connectors with different sizes or types. This is useful when there is a need to interface connectors that are not directly compatible. An adjuster is an accessory that allows for fine-tuning or adjustment of the position or alignment of the connector. It ensures a proper fit and alignment between mating connectors. Alignment discs are used to ensure accurate alignment between connectors during mating. They help prevent misalignment, which can lead to poor electrical or mechanical connections. An anchor is a component that provides secure attachment or mounting of the connector to a surface or panel. It helps to prevent unintended movement or disconnection of the connector. Back shells are protective covers that are used to cover the non-mating end of the connector. They provide additional mechanical strength and can also offer environmental protection by sealing the connector against moisture, dust, and other contaminants. Blanking plugs are used to seal unused positions or openings in the connector. They prevent the ingress of dirt, moisture, or other foreign particles. Cable clamps and cable grips are accessories that provide strain relief and secure attachment of the cable to the connector. They help prevent cable damage and disconnection caused by pulling or tugging. Cable glands and cable seals provide cable entry points into the connector. They ensure a secure and watertight connection between the cable and the connector, protecting against moisture and dust ingress. Caps are protective covers used to seal the mating end of the connector when it is not in use. They provide protection against dirt, moisture, and other contaminants. Coding rings are used to identify or differentiate connectors with different configurations or functions. They allow for quick and easy identification of specific connectors. Compression nuts are used to secure and tighten the connector onto the mating interface. They provide a secure and reliable connection. EMI gaskets are accessories that provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. They help reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference, ensuring proper signal transmission and reception. Faceplates, handles, hoods, and nuts are accessories used for mounting or securing the connector to a panel or enclosure. They provide a convenient and secure attachment method. O-rings are sealing components used to create a watertight or airtight seal between mating connectors. They prevent the ingress of moisture or dust. Sealing boots are protective covers that provide environmental sealing for the cable entry point of the connector. They offer additional protection against moisture, dust, and other contaminants. Sleeves and snap-rings are accessories used for mechanical retention and secure attachment of the connector components. Wall plates are accessories used for mounting connectors on walls or other surfaces. They provide a convenient and organized connection point. Wire seals are used to seal the entry points of individual wires into the connector. They provide a watertight or airtight seal, ensuring proper insulation and protection. In summary, circular connector accessories are supplementary components that are used with circular connectors to enhance their functionality, provide protection, and ensure proper mating and connection. These accessories come in various types and serve different purposes, such as adapting connectors, providing strain relief, sealing, mounting, identification, and EMI shielding. They are essential for maximizing the performance and reliability of circular connectors in various applications.
