K Series Circular Push-Pull Connector, Waterproof Receptacle

The push-pull connector is a type of cable interconnect that provides a strong locking mechanism that is only released by squeezing the connector body, thus preventing accidental disconnects. They eliminate the need for tools or fasteners, making them ideal for various applications in medical devices, automotive systems, and industrial machinery.

Bend relief is a crucial feature in push-pull connectors. It safeguards the cable by:

• Guiding Bends: It creates a natural bend that relieves stress on the cable, preventing kinks or breaks.
• Protecting Connections: It shields the electrical connections from damage caused by twisting or bending.
• Extending Lifespan: It reduces wear and tear on the connector itself, ensuring longer life and protecting connected equipment.

Push-pull connectors are widely used across various industries:

• Automotive: For reliable connections in harsh environments.
• Aerospace & Military: Ideal for demanding applications requiring high performance.
• Medical: Perfect for applications needing secure and sterile connections.
• Consumer Electronics: Offering ease of use for connecting devices.

Here’s a simplified explanation of using a push-pull connector with a male plug and a female receptacle:

• Prepare the Cable: Connect the wire to the male plug’s insulator and the female receptacle’s contacts (solder, PCB, or crimp).
• Assemble the Plug: Pass the cable through the bend relief and secure it with the collet nut and collet.
• Assemble the Receptacle: Depending on your device, solder or use PCB contacts for panel mounting. Crimp connections are also an option.
• Connect the Parts: Insert the plug into the receptacle until it clicks and locks with the self-latching mechanism.

• Latches: Locking mechanisms that securely fasten the connector halves. They engage when pushed together and require a release button for separation.
• Mating: Refers to physically, electrically, or magnetically connecting two equipment pieces. Compatibility in size, shape, and function is crucial for proper mating.

• Easy to Use: Requires no special tools or skills.
• Versatile: Suitable for diverse applications.
• Durable: Withstands wear and tear.
• Corrosion-Resistant: Functions well in challenging environments.
• High-Quality Connection: Ideal for high-voltage applications.
• Variety of Sizes: Ensures a perfect fit for your needs.
• Cost-Effective: Offers great value.
• User-Friendly Features: Release buttons and locking mechanisms enhance usability.
• Customization Options: Available with specific features or colors.
• Long Lifespan: Provides years of reliable service.
• Recyclable: Environmentally friendly option.
• High-Quality Materials: Built to last.

Here are key factors to consider when selecting a push-pull connector:

• Company Reputation: Opt for a reliable and well-established brand.
• Certifications: Look for third-party testing and certifications.
• Warranty: Choose a product with a warranty for peace of mind.
• Material Quality: Ensure high-quality materials are used.
• Ease of Use: Select a connector that’s easy to install and operate.
• Compatibility: Verify compatibility with your existing equipment.
• Safety Standards: Make sure the connector complies with all safety regulations.
• Customer Service: Choose a company with excellent customer support.
• Competitive Price: Compare prices to ensure you’re getting a good value.
