Metal circular connectors

For the harshest of environments, there are numerous metal connector shell options available.

Standard metal circular connector types are aluminium based offering a strong yet lightweight construction, which is then supplemented by corrosion-resistant platings ranging from the proven Olive Drab Cadmium plating through to new RoHS compliant finishes including Black Zinc Nickel.

Where the connector will be operating in the most extreme environments, different base metals can be selected including Marine Bronze and Stainless Steel, which offer the highest level of salt spray corrosion resistance. The latter is also suitable for extremes of pressure in subsea, hermetic applications.

We can help with ensuring the correct material and plating finish is selected for the environment and application, including any specific compliances and compatibility requirements.
