Samtec’s newest AccliMate sealed circular connectors (ACP/ACR series) were developed to maximise design flexibility.
They are available in standard shell sizes of 12 mm, 16 mm and 22 mm with metal or plastic housings, and feature a choice of four keyed bayonet style latches to ensure proper mating with quick connection and disconnection.
This product line can be configured with a variety of signal, power and RF contacts as well as combinations. The system is configured based on power delivery direction for an optimum design. Panel receptacles can be terminated with a variety of connectors, or can be supplied with blunt cut cable or solder cups for field termination. Field termination kits are also available for sealed plugs and receptacles.
Samtec has also released Solutionator, a new online tool that allows users looking for AccliMate IP67 and IP68 dust and water sealed cable solutions to design a complete assembly from over 350 000 design permutations comprised of mix-and-match options on bundled cable, shell size and material, contact size and quantity, contact placement, wire gauge and keying options.
