Circular connector seals are robust, protective, and key components of circular connectors designed to create a tight, eco-friendly seal at the interface of connectors. These seals are basically constructed from highly durable and resilient materials like plastic or rubber to prevent contaminants from integrating into connectors. Protection is also added due to the seal mounted between the surfaces within connectors or between the cable and the connector that acts as a shield.
They are widely used with circular connectors, a multipin connector designed to transmit and secure signals and current by joining their two (male and female) receptacles.
What are the Types of Circular Connector Seals?
These connector seals come in a wide range of types, such as:
- Backshells
- Flange
- Ring
- Screw Plug
- Wire Seal
- Seal
- Gasket
- Filler Plug
- Shielding Sheet
- Receptacle Wall Mount.
Why Use Circular Connector Seals?
Circular connector seals feature excellent features with the capability to be exposed to various challenging conditions such as extreme temperatures and moisture. Furthermore, they also withstand harsh engine compartment fluids and chemicals.
What are the Uses of Circular Connector Seals?
Circular connector seals provide highly durable and robust seals with excellent electrical insulation properties in various applications, such as air intakes, coolant manifolds, and fuel systems to provide environmental shielding. They are indispensable in any wiring system exposed to outdoor or industrial environments that require sealed receptacles, plugs, and power connectors.
