WS 2-26 Pin Industrial Circular Connector with Screw Locking

GOST OHS Circular Connector with Multiple Core Count Options

WS 2–26 Pin Industrial Circular Connector Overview

The WS 2–26 Pin Industrial Circular Connector is a versatile connectivity solution for industrial equipment, automation systems, and complex electrical applications. With a 2–26 pin range, the WS series supports configurations from simple power transmission to high-density multi-signal integration. It is engineered for environments requiring flexible and dependable connectivity.

Built for industrial performance, the connector combines a durable zinc alloy housing with chrome plating, brass contacts plated with silver or gold, and a PPS insulator. This construction supports stable electrical transmission and environmental adaptability for demanding working conditions.

Selecting the Right Pin Configuration

Choosing the correct pin count is the first step in specifying a WS connector. The 2–26 pin range covers a broad spectrum of industrial needs, but your choice depends on the specific function and wiring density of your application.

• Low-pin layouts (2–6 pins): Suitable for basic power or control circuits where simplicity and space savings are priorities.
• Mid-range options (7–15 pins): Balance power and signal lines for equipment like sensors and actuators.
• High-density layouts (16–26 pins): Designed for complex signal transmission systems and high-density wiring in control cabinets.

Confirm the required number of cores and the conductor size before ordering to ensure the connector matches your cable and load requirements.

Construction and Material Performance

The WS series is built to withstand industrial conditions. The housing material and contact plating are key factors in its reliability.

• Housing: Zinc alloy with chrome plating provides mechanical strength and resistance to impact and vibration.
• Contacts: Brass plated with silver or gold ensures reliable conductivity and low contact resistance.
• Insulator: PPS material offers thermal stability and electrical insulation for consistent performance.

This material combination supports frequent connection cycles and long-term operation in dusty or humid environments.

Application Fit and Boundaries

The WS connector is suited for a range of industrial applications, but it is important to verify its fit against your specific environmental and electrical conditions.

Suitable for:

• Industrial automation systems and control cabinets
• Robotics and smart manufacturing equipment
• Sensor systems and monitoring devices
• Power distribution and communication devices

Not recommended for:

• Applications requiring continuous submersion or high-pressure water exposure without a verified IP rating
• Environments with extreme chemical exposure that may degrade the zinc alloy housing
• High-frequency data transmission where specialized shielded connectors are required

Verify the operating temperature range and IP protection level against your installation site before finalizing the design.

Quality Control and Manufacturing Evidence

Each WS connector is produced in an integrated facility with in-house mold development, CNC machining, die-casting, and assembly lines. This vertical integration allows direct control over production quality.

Testing procedures include electrical conductivity checks, plugging durability tests, and salt spray corrosion testing. These steps help confirm the connector's mechanical and electrical integrity before shipment.

For detailed parameter values such as rated current, voltage, and temperature limits, refer to the Technical Specifications section. Final configuration should be confirmed with your sales engineer.
