Self-latching circular push-pull connectors with IP protection

With spring-action locking, the self-latching push-pull connectors, from MH Connectors, prevent accidental disconnection when handling data, signal and power, to deliver affordable reliability.

To disconnect the compact circular push-pull connectors, the operator pulls the outer shell sleeve which retracts the inner spring-action latch allowing the connector to be de-mated.

In addition to delivering the security of push-pull latching, the shielded connectors handle frequent mating and un-mating, and suit indoor or outdoor applications.

To add to the durability and reliability, the push-pull connectors offer protection to IP50 or IP68. The connectors with a metal shell provide full EMI and RFI shielding, and are rated to handle 5,000 mating cycles over a temperature range from -55°C to 200°C. The connectors with a plastic shell support over 1,000 mating cycles and operate over a temperature range from -55°C to 150°C.

And there are more advantages. With IP50 protection, the miniature 00 series metal connectors have an ultra-compact 7 mm diameter, and there is the best-selling B series metal connectors in a standard shell format. In a plastic shell, the P series also has a standard geometry and is commonly used in medical applications.

For waterproof connections, the K and T series metal shell connectors offer IP68 sealing. The K series connectors integrate an extra sleeve, and the newer T series is based on a standard geometry.

To deliver rugged reliability, the push-pull connectors withstand vibration to 15 g, from 10 Hz to 2,000 Hz, to support applications in test houses, as well as shock resistance of 100 g for 6 ms.

The option of cable or panel-mount connectors offers flexibility in application, in addition to gold-plated solder cup contacts which increase the efficient soldering of wires. Offering from 2 to 34 contacts, and with current rating up to 30 A, the push-pull connectors automatically include a strain relief boot where configured, and adds keying or color to differentiate the connectors when multiple connectors are used in the same application.

Compatible with existing industry solutions, the MH push-pull connectors are on a short manufacturing lead time of 6 to 8 weeks which supports fast prototyping and design.
