Push Pull Connectors

How Push Pull Connectors Work 

Circular push pull connectors are circular connectors that prioritize quick connection and disconnection. Push pull connectors successfully prevent accidental disconnections through the use of a strong, self-latching mechanism that allows the connector to be mated by pushing the plug into the socket. However, the connection cannot be broken by merely pulling on it.

Instead, the connector body must be squeezed while pulling in order to successfully break the connection. Unlike connectors that utilize a standard screw thread or bayonet locking system, push-pull connectors only require an axial force to mate and unmate, as opposed to the traditional rotational force. The result is a simple but strong locking mechanism. 

Applications of Push Pull Connectors 

The demand for circular push pull connectors ranges across many markets, from military and communications to medical and instrumentation. These critical applications need a highly reliable connection, as an accidental disconnection could be catastrophic.Medical (portable, handheld, diagnostic equipment), industrial (automation controls, robotics), Test & Measurement (analyzers, test equipment), A/V (event wiring, broadcast equipment), communications (antennas, radar, radio equipment), automotive (diagnostic and production equipment), mil/aero (soldier-worn equipment, portable devices), transportation (rail signaling, monitoring, and control systems)

Faq

Q: What is a push pull connector?

A: It is a quick-locking connector that locks when pushed and disconnects immediately when pulled.

Q: Are push pull connectors waterproof?

A: Most models support IP67 waterproofing for outdoor and industrial use.

Q: Can push-pull connectors be mated blindly?

A: Yes. The guide structure allows blind plug-in without alignment difficulty.

Q: What is the service lifespan?

A: Normally more than 1000 mating and unmating cycles.

Q: Are push pull connectors resistant to vibration?

A: The self-locking structure prevents loosening under strong vibration.
