Circular connectors-adapters are electromechanical devices enabling seamless signal/power transmission between components with different interface standards. Defined by IEC 60512 standards, these adapters feature cylindrical housings with multiple contact points, offering critical bridging solutions in complex systems. Their importance spans across aerospace, industrial automation, and medical equipment, where they ensure interoperability while maintaining signal integrity under harsh conditions.
| Type | Functional Features | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| MIL-DTL-5015 Adapters | Threaded coupling, 4-95 contacts, vibration resistance | Military communication systems |
| MIL-DTL-38999 Adapters | High-density, environmental sealing (IP67) | Aerospace sensor interfaces |
| USB-C Circular Adapters | Hybrid signal/power transmission, reversible design | Industrial IoT devices |
| BNC-TNC Adapters | Bayonet/ threaded coupling, 0-11GHz frequency range | RF test equipment |
Typical construction includes: - Metal housing: Aluminum alloy or stainless steel with plating (nickel/gold) - Contact elements: Phosphor bronze with precision-machined contact areas - Insulation: High-temperature resistant thermoplastics (operating range: -55 C to +200 C) - Sealing system: Multi-lip elastomer gaskets for IP68 protection - Mating interface: Polarized keying system preventing misalignment
| Parameter | Importance |
