TE Connectivity introduces the new Circular High Density (HD) connector product line as a low-cost alternative to 38999 and other circulars for rugged non-Mil Spec applications. The Circular HD family offers more than 400 options in a wide range of cable and panel mounting options, shell sizes, insert configurations and gender options.

Offering the ease of push-to-latch/pull-to-unlatch mating, the small, high-density connectors have the advantage of blind mating into small spaces that may normally require clearance for hand tightening to mate.

  • Push/pull self-locking mating and unmating
  • Scoop proof, blind mating
  • Operating range of -65°C to +125°C
  • Durability of 1000 mating cycles
  • Five shell bodies ranging from 14 mm diameter to 27 mm diameter
  • Panel-mount receptacles; IP68 rated with potted, solder cup or PCB termination
  • 96-hour salt spray exposure

  • Full range of insertion configurations: power, signal, power and signal
  • Up to 40 signal contacts
