PT06A-12-10S 10-Pin Circular Connector with Bayonet Locking

Din Circular Connector Types and Specifications Guide

PT06A-12-10S Connector Overview

The PT06A-12-10S is a circular connector engineered for reliable signal and power transmission in demanding industrial and electronic systems. This plug configuration houses 10 socket contacts, providing a secure interface for complex control and instrumentation applications.

Construction and Materials

The connector features a durable aluminum alloy shell that delivers mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for industrial environments. A neoprene insulator provides electrical insulation and environmental sealing, supporting operation across a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Termination and Application Fit

Solder termination ensures firm electrical contact and long-term stability. This configuration suits industrial control equipment, power distribution systems, communication devices, and electronic instrumentation where secure, maintenance-friendly connections are required.

Selection Considerations

• Confirm the mating plug or receptacle configuration matches your PT06A-12-10S socket layout.
• Verify conductor size and insulation diameter against the solder contact barrel capacity before termination.
• Check cable jacket diameter against the rear accessory or strain-relief range for proper sealing.
• Assess operating temperature and environmental exposure against the -55°C to +125°C rating.

Suitable and Unsuitable Applications

This connector is well-suited for stationary industrial equipment, control cabinets, and instrumentation where periodic maintenance access is available. It is not intended for repeated high-frequency mating cycles, submersible duty while unmated, or applications requiring tool-less field termination.

Inquiry Checklist

To confirm fit for your project, provide the mating connector part number, required pinout or wiring diagram, cable outside diameter and conductor gauge, electrical load, ambient environment, and order quantity.
