WY Series - Waterproof Bayonet Connectors

The WY series of waterproof connectors from Weipu are ruggedly built with bayonet couplings and sealed to IP67 for metal cable clamping nuts, IP65 for plastic cable clamping nuts and angled plugs or IP55 for plastic hose models. They can be used in-line with cable to cable connections or for cable to panel-mount connections, with a choice of either end being a male or female connection.

Available for panel cut-outs of 16.5mm, 20.5mm, 24.5mm, 28.5mm, 32.5mm, 40.5mm, 48.5mm and 55.5mm with a choice of between 2 pin up to 61 pin gold plated contacts with either solder, screw or crimp style terminations. The WY series offer round or square flange style panel connectors and straight or angled cable connectors giving a large variety of options for nearly every application.

The WY series is perfect for outdoor power or data applications including Outdoor Lighting, LED Screens, Outdoor Security Cameras, Solar Energy, Medical Devices, Marine Equipment and Industrial Control Systems.

FAQs

A circular connector is quite simply an electrical component used for mating two separate cables or a cable to a device which have a circular shaped housing.

A circular connector works by allowing two opposite connectors to mate creating a circuit. These connections can be cable to cable or cable to panel. The circular style allows for these type of connectors to mate with a threaded, bayonet or push-push style locking mechanism which allows for great variety and great sealing against the environments.

Circular connectors are a style of electrical connector that all have a circular body shape. This allows for a plug and socket to mate (fit together) in a variety of different ways such as screwing or a bayonet-style fitting. Circular connectors have a wide range of different contact numbers and layouts and they are often waterproof, making them ideal for many different applications from scientific instruments to robust military equipment.

The main benefits of circular connectors is their ease of use and the variety of mating styles and sizes. Circular connectors are available in many different sizes from tiny 6mm diameter snap-in connectors to large robust connectors which can handle extremely high currents and voltages. The different mating styles also allow for either quick disconnect with snap-in or push-pull style mating through to very strong, IP68 threaded connectors, ideal for harsh environments.

A connector is the general terminology for the components used to connect cables together or to a device. A connector can be in-line meaning cable to cable or cable to panel and can transmit both electrical power and electronic signals as well as non-electrical signals such as hydraulic. A port however refers to panel mount connectors that receive and transmit electrical signals only.
