What is 7/8 connector ?

The 7/8 connector is a waterproof circular electrical connector that is used to connect wires or cables together , it has 7/8 3 pin , 7/8 4 pin connector , 7/8 5 pin connector and 7/8 6 pin connector . It is typically used in automotive, industrial, and other applications where a secure connection is required. The 7/8 connector has a coupling thread of 7/8 inch , which makes it larger than some other types of connectors. It is often used for high-voltage or high-current applications, as it can handle a larger amount of electrical current than smaller connectors.

Types of 7/8 connector

There are many different types of 7/8 connectors available, including male and female connectors , as well as connectors with different pin quantities ( 3 pin , 4 pin , 5 pin , 6 pin ) , overmoulded 7/8 connector cables , field wireable 7/8 connector , panel mount 7/8 connector , 7/8 connector splitter . The specific application and requirements of the connection will determine which type of 7/8 connector is most appropriate to use.

One end and both end 7/8 connector cable

7/8 connector cable is used to connect equipment and control system , or the connection between two electronic equipments , it can be one end 7/8 cable , or both end 7/8 cable , usually both ends have the same number of pins , the 7/8 connector cable is one end male and the other end is female, or both end are male, or both end are female .

Shielded 7/8 cable connector

In order to shield the electromagnetic interference in the environment, shielded 7/8 connector cable will be used in some application scenarios . It consists of central conductors surrounded by a layer of insulation, which is itself surrounded by a shield of braided metal wire or foil. Shielded cable is used to protect against interference from external electromagnetic fields, such as those generated by power lines, motors, and other electrical equipment. The shield around the cable acts as a barrier to these fields, helping to keep the signal within the cable from being affected by external noise.

Shielded 7/8 connector cable is often used in applications where high levels of shielding are required, in some power transmission applications, where it can help to reduce the amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that is transmitted between the power cables and other electrical equipment.

7/8 connector PVC VS PUR jacket

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PUR (polyurethane) are two types of insulation materials that are commonly used in electrical cables.

PVC cables are made from a type of plastic that is commonly used in construction and other applications. They are known for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to water and chemicals. PVC cables are also relatively inexpensive, making them a popular choice for many applications.

PUR cables are made from a type of plastic that is known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to oil and chemicals. They are also resistant to abrasion, making them suitable for use in harsh environments. PUR cables are more expensive than PVC cables, but they offer improved performance in certain applications.

In general, PVC cables are suitable for a wide range of applications, while PUR cables are often used in applications where flexibility and chemical resistance are required. It is important to choose the right type of cable for a specific application to ensure that it can withstand the conditions it will be exposed to and provide reliable performance.

Field wireable 7/8 connector

Field-wireable 7/8 connectors are typically used for low-volume installations or electrical installations and equipment where factory pre-wired connectors are not convenient. They are also used where frequent wiring changes or modifications are required, such as temporary or portable installations. Field-wireable connectors typically have a set of terminal blocks that can be easily connected to wires using screw connections, allowing the connector to be wired in the field.

Field wireable 7/8 connector have straight and 90 degree angled type , A 90 degree angled 7/8 connector is a type of connector that allows two cables or wires to be connected at a 90 degree angle to each other. These connectors are often used in tight spaces where a straight connector would not fit, or to route cables in a more organized and neat manner.

Panel mount 7/8 connector

Panel mount 7/8 connector is also called 7/8 bulkhead connector , have front panel mount and back panel mount , which could be mounted from back panel of the device , or front panel of the device , 7/8 bulkhead connector also have 3 pin , 4 pin , 5 pin , 6 pin for option , male and female , the front panel mount 7/8 connector have PG13.5 locking thread , back panel mount 7/8 connector have 7/8-16UNF and M25 locking thread . The termination way is solder , could be prewired at factory .

7/8 connector splitter

A 7/8 connector splitter is a device that allows you to split a single 7/8-inch connector into two separate connectors. It has one male 7/8 connector and two female 7/8 connector , can be 3 pin , 4 pin , 5 pin , 6 pin , the wire definition could be customized .

3 Pin 4 Pin 5 Pin 6 Pin 7/8 Connector Electrical Parameters

The 7/8 connector comply with IEC 61076-2-101 Industry 4.0 Agreement NEMA2000 standard , is mainly used for power connector . It could supply AC/DC 300V rated voltage , 3 pin at 13A current , and 4 pin , 5 pin , 6 pin at 9A current .
