New Variation: JL10/W Series Outdoor Environmentally Resistant Circular Connector
June 20, 2023
Japan Aviation Electronics Industry (JAE) has released additional variations to the JL10/W Series outdoor environmentally resistant circular connector for equipment installed outdoors, such as base stations.
Base stations currently serve critical roles in the proliferation of 5G communication services and are commonly installed outdoors, usually in high places. Because of this, connectors that are used in base stations must be resilient in the outdoor environment, require effortless operation, and offer secure mating. In response to field feedback, JAE equipped the JL10/W Series with high mating and unmating capabilities for use in equipment installed outdoors.
The JL10/W Series connectors are IP67 rated water and dustproof, and use a special electro-deposition coating on the outer components for high environmental durability. The connectors feature outstanding ease of operation and allow for reliable mating with a one-touch mate and lock mechanism.
In addition to the conventional contact pin arrangement, 22-22, we have added a variation with a new contact arrangement, 22-A3. We will continue to respond to a wide variety of market needs by developing new connectors such as this to add to our existing product lineup.
Features
- One-touch bayonet lock
- Mating position guide marks allow visual confirmation of complete mating, increasing reliability
Applicable Devices and Markets
- Base stations
- Other outdoor equipment
