P Series Waterproof Connectors Types and Core Counts
OHS Circular Connector Overview
The OHS circular connector series is engineered for industrial applications requiring reliable power and signal transmission under demanding conditions. This catalog presents a range of OHS connector types with multiple core count options, allowing you to match the connector configuration to your specific circuit requirements. Each product entry includes verified technical data on materials, waterproof performance, temperature range, electrical specifications, and termination methods, so you can evaluate suitability before specifying.
Key Selection Criteria for OHS Connectors
When choosing an OHS circular connector for your application, consider these core decision points:
-
Core count and contact layout: Verify the number of contacts matches your circuit design, and confirm the pin arrangement aligns with your mating cable or panel assembly.
-
Electrical ratings: Check the rated current and voltage against your load requirements. Remember that operating conditions such as ambient temperature and cable length may require derating from the nominal values.
-
Environmental protection: Confirm the IP rating and temperature range suit your installation environment, especially for outdoor, washdown, or high-humidity locations.
-
Termination method: Determine whether solder, crimp, or screw termination fits your assembly process and field service needs.
-
Mating interface and mounting style: Ensure the plug and socket configuration, keying, and cable or panel mount style are compatible with your existing system.
Electrical and Environmental Parameters
The catalog specifies electrical limits and environmental ratings for each OHS connector type. Use these values as the basis for your design review:
- Rated current and voltage per contact, as stated for each core count variant.
- Insulation resistance and contact resistance values, which indicate signal integrity and connection stability.
- IP-rated waterproof performance, applicable when the connector is properly mated and locked.
- Operating temperature range, reflecting the connector's suitability for your ambient conditions.
If your application involves continuous high current, vibration, or repeated mating cycles, verify the derating guidance and mechanical endurance data provided for the specific OHS model.
Application Fit and Installation Considerations
OHS circular connectors are commonly used in industrial control systems, power distribution, and signal transmission where a robust, circular interface is required. Before finalizing your selection, confirm the following:
- The connector series, coding/keying, and gender match your mating component.
- The cable range accepted by the connector's clamping or strain-relief mechanism fits your cable diameter.
- The mounting style—cable, panel, or in-line—aligns with your enclosure or equipment layout.
- Installation tools and termination procedures are available for your chosen method.
For applications involving communication between frequency converters and PLCs where anti-interference performance is critical, consult the connector selection guidance for electrical control systems to verify compatibility with your signal integrity requirements.
