The Y-Circ P series, whose name stands for Circular Connector Push-Pull, offers advantages through miniaturisation. It is pluggable to existing series on the market. Depending on the connector type, the connector is lighter and up to 20% shorter than comparable circular connectors on the market. This means that shorter device sockets can be used, which provides more space in the customer's application.

The optimised length makes the connector lighter and less susceptible to vibrations. The push-pull locking mechanism allows easy mating and unmating by pulling on the connector housing.

High-quality contacts guarantee at least 5000 mating cycles. In addition, the design of the shield contact has been optimised. All half shells are identically designed and can therefore no longer be confused during assembly. This significantly simplifies the assembly of the connector and reduces the assembly effort.

The robust, chrome-plated metal housing has a high value, which is why the connector is also predestined for use on devices with high optical demands. Thanks to the machined contacts, both secure data transmission and high currents are no problem.

The first product in the group was the B series. It has a degree of protection of IP50 and is offered in many combinations. The connectors of this series are available in sizes 9, 12, 15 and 18, each of which the customer can have equipped with a different number of contacts.

Based on the B version, the manufacturer developed a waterproof connector: the T-series opens up new areas of application - wherever dust and water or all forms of moisture occur and can impair the functionality of cables and connectors.

These include harsh system environments in mechanical engineering, in IT and robot systems as well as in the automotive industry and in the aircraft industry. The applications range from underwater use to medical technology; camera systems and control systems in outdoor areas are also areas of application.

The T-series connectors offer many advantages over comparable connectors. Miniaturisation was also the focus for this version. The challenge for the engineers during development was to integrate the locking mechanism and IP68 protection into the size of the B series. In addition, the insulators of the B series were to be reused.

The most important feature is the optimised cable seal. For this purpose, the developers realised a compact sealing concept, with which the waterproof connector can be assembled much more robustly, quickly and with less risk. The seal to the cable was reduced to a single, specially sealing collet - standard connectors on the market contain up to three parts. This principle simplifies and speeds up assembly enormously. Whereas with other connectors several parts have to be assembled, with the T-series only one part has to be mounted. On the one hand, this is much easier and, on the other hand, minimises the risk of seal damage.

In addition, the cable shielding can be cut to length with very high tolerances. This makes it almost impossible for shield wires to protrude into the sealing area and impair the sealing effect. The one-piece collet makes the assembly so secure that there is no need to worry about anything shifting during assembly and thus no longer guaranteeing an optimal seal.

The second key point of the new connector concept is the optimised locking system. Due to the longer locking hooks, high mating cycles can also be reliably achieved for this series. As a result, the same codings as for the B-series are also possible.

The design allows waterproofing up to at least IP68, which at Yamaichi means permanent submersion for 48h at a water depth of 1m.

In addition to the standard pole patterns, special pole patterns for high-speed data transmission are also available. Thus, data transmission rates of up to 10 Gbit/s are possible, which also offer sufficient reserves for future data transmission tasks in industry and data networking.

The versions of the T-series are available in all sizes (9, 12, 15 and 18) as cable plugs and cable sockets as well as device sockets in various designs.
