View ProductFrequently Asked Questions about Hybrid Connectors
A hybrid connector is a type of connector which incorporates extra low voltage (<50VAC/ <120VDC) and low voltage (50-1000VAC/120-1500VDC) circuits in a single unit. The hybrid connector is designed to safely handle both circuits and many have additional insulation gaps between the signal and power circuits.
A hybrid connector allows both signal and power circuits to be connected to a machine using a single connector. This helps reduce installation time for the product and mitigates potential wiring mistakes. It is also the ideal solution if there is limited panel space for multiple connectors.
Hybrid connectors are available both sealed and un-sealed or non-waterproof. We only supply hybrid connectors that are rated to IP67 sealing and are ruggedly constructed for use in harsher environments.
A male connector is the connector which includes the pins and is often the plug side of a device. The female connector houses the mating contacts and is often referred to as the socket. The female connector usually houses the constant power side of the connection which helps mitigate the chance of arcing or causing harm by electric shock as the power connectors are recessed into the connector housing.
