How to Select G8 Receptacle
Choosing the right G8 receptacle for your application involves considering several key factors:
Determine Contact Requirements
Define how many pins are required for your device (2–26 contacts).
Choose based on power, signal, or mixed configurations.
Check Mounting Style & Profile
Select low-profile receptacles for space-constrained applications.
Choose panel-mount or inline versions based on installation needs.
Assess Application Environment
Use IP68-rated receptacles for waterproof and dustproof performance.
Opt for ruggedized models for military or outdoor communication systems.
Match Cable Compatibility
Ensure the connector supports your cable’s outer diameter (from 5mm to 10.5mm).
Consider Data & Power Needs
Select high-speed contacts for Ethernet-enabled or data-intensive applications.
Choose high-current pins for power distribution in field equipment.
