SUR Series, Free Hanging, Panel Mount

Rectangular connectors, whether free hanging or panel mount, are widely used to establish connections between cables or wires using mating connectors. These connectors come in various configurations and are specifically designed for different types of cables, including coaxial, discrete, ribbon, and flat flex cables. When selecting rectangular connectors, several key parameters need to be considered. The pitch refers to the distance between the centers of adjacent pins or contacts on the connector. It plays a crucial role in determining the compatibility and alignment between the connector and its mating counterpart. Different applications may require different pitch sizes to accommodate specific cable types and requirements. The number of positions indicates the total number of individual contacts or pins on the connector. This parameter determines the number of electrical connections that can be established between the cables or wires. The number of rows specifies whether the contacts are arranged in a single row or multiple rows on the connector. Another important consideration is the wire gauge, which refers to the size or thickness of the cables or wires that can be accommodated by the connector. It ensures a secure and reliable connection by matching the appropriate contact size with the wire diameter. Rectangular connectors can be either free hanging or panel mount. Free hanging connectors are designed for applications where cables or wires need to be connected and disconnected frequently. They allow for flexibility and ease of installation. On the other hand, panel mount connectors are installed on a panel or surface, providing a fixed and secure connection point. These connectors are commonly used in applications where cables or wires need to be connected to control panels, equipment enclosures, or other mounting surfaces. Overall, rectangular connectors offer a versatile solution for connecting cables or wires using mating connectors. By considering parameters such as pitch, number of positions and rows, and wire gauge, these connectors can be selected to meet the specific requirements of different cable types and applications. Whether free hanging or panel mount, they provide reliable and efficient interconnectivity in a wide range of electronic systems and devices.
