Circular Connectors to MIL-DTL-5015 (MIL-C-5015)

Key range of RoHS compliant circular connectors for industrial and commercial applications.

Harwin offers a key range of High Reliability, rugged, RoHS compliant Circular Connectors, meeting the high standards of MIL-DTL-5015 (MIL-C-5015) yet is priced to be cost-effective for commercial and industrial applications.

For use in harsh and demanding environments the rugged high-specification, cadmium-free range features free plug, panel mount and cable connector orientations in a number of popular shell sizes (10SL, 12S and 14S) and layout options.

These cost-effective solutions will offer benefits in:

• Power generators
• Control cables
• Machine tools
• Robotics
• Mass transit
• Welding equipment
• Fixed and portable industrial equipment
• Extension leads and power cords
• Industrial and agricultural vehicles
• COTS applications where MIL qualification is not mandatory

Accessories

The range is further enhanced by the addition of end caps and rubber bushing attachments to suit the entire family. To ensure end caps are not lost, a sturdy aluminium chrome chain has been applied meaning it is firmly attached to the connector at all times. The rubber bushings enable IP67 sealing to be achieved, protecting the connector from water dust and chemical ingress.

COTS as an alternative

Wendy Jane Preston, Technical & Marketing Engineer at Harwin commented: “Commercial and industrial product designers are often faced with the challenge of choosing a rugged, high reliability connector for use in harsh and demanding environments that may require full environmental sealing. With low product cost and RoHS compliance being placed high on the list of requirements up to now it has not been an easy task to select an ideal connector. Harwin’s range of RoHS compliant, low cost, circular connectors offer an effective solution in these challenging conditions.”
