In connectors, the term “Cross Reference” is specifically used for those two connectors which are manufactured by different companies but can do the same work.

So, Cross Reference in INTE-AUTO Circular Connectors means that the part number of INTE-AUTO and other brands’ Circular Connectors are compatible with each other.

The male plug of any brand can easily be mated with the INTE-AUTO female socket.

INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors consist of a plug that can be inserted into a receptacle.

They are available in both plastic and metal materials.

Using these connectors, you can easily and quickly transfer current, signals, water, air, data, power, or pneumatic media from one place to another.

These connectors have a strong self-latching mechanism for quick locking and unlocking.

There are many circular connector manufacturers worldwide.

INTE-AUTO has Cross Reference Circular Connectors, which are always compatible with the latest market products and other circular connectors’ part numbers.

If you have a B, K, S, P or F series female push pull socket on your device, you can easily get a mating male plug from the INTE-AUTO product range.

Figure 1 INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors

The INTE-AUTO B, K, S, P and F Series Circular Connectors follow a very simple procedure in order to lock and unlock, which are described below:

Locking Mechanism:

• First, you have to align the keying of both the connector’s plug and receptacle.
• The locking works on a strong self-latching mechanism.
• You should now insert the connector’s plug into the female receptacle with a slight push.
• Doing this will allow the half-arrow head shape latches into the plug to retract towards the inner side of the plug’s housing.
• The inside of the connector’s receptacle consists of space similar to the half-arrow head shape latches of the plug.
• This space is used to hold the plug latches for a strong connection.
• When the plug contacts reach that space inside the receptacle, the latches arrow heads quickly fit inside the receptacle and lock the plug.

Un-Locking Mechanism:

• In order to unlock your connector, you need a slight backward push on the outer shell of the connector’s plug.
• Doing this will allow the locked half-arrow head shape latches inside the receptacle to retract towards the inner side of the plug’s housing.
• Now slowly remove the plug and release the outer shell of the connector’s plug.
• The connector is then completely unlocked.

• The usage of the best quality manufacturing material increases the connector’s life, i.e., the mating cycles can reach up to 1000 cycles for plastic connectors whereas 5000 cycles for metal connectors.
• These connectors are always compatible with the original brand’s circular connectors, which means that if you have a female socket of some brand on your device, then you can easily mate INTE-AUTO Circular Connector’s plug with it.
• Due to having a vast collection of INTE-AUTO Circular Connectors, you can always find an alternate solution to other brand connectors’ part numbers.
• INTE-AUTO also offers bend relief manufactured using Silicone and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) material to fulfill your requirements.
• Always 100% tested before exporting to the customers.
• These connectors are an affordable cross reference solution to other brands’ circular connectors.
• Design original push pull self-locking and unlocking mechanism.
• You can blindly mate these connectors because of the excellent keying system on both the connector’s plug and receptacle.
• The INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors with B, S, F, and P Series can give you IP50 ratings, whereas K Series and T Series give you IP68 ratings.
• Available in various sizes and pin connections to fulfill your needs.
• They are lightweight and compact.
• These connectors have the ability to avoid external interferences due to 360° EMC Shielding.

The INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors mating capacity is similar to the mating capacity of the original brand’s circular connectors.

The gold-plated contacts of these connectors can be mated thousands of times.

Usually, the INTE-AUTO Metal Circular Connectors can be mated up to 5000 times.

It means that if you are mating these connectors 5000^th time, you can get the same performance as it is mated for the first time.

Figure 5 INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connector’s Mating Capacity

Before exporting the INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors to the customers, they are subjected to different tests.

One of these tests is the salt spray test that measures their connectors’ rust and corrosion resistance capabilities.

With the help of this test, INTE-AUTO discovers that these connectors resist rust and corrosion for more than 96 hours of continuous salt spray test.

Figure 6 Salt Spray Corrosion Test For Cross Reference Circular Connectors

INTE-AUTO connectors can perform in difficult situations and harsh environments.

You can get an ingress protection rating of 50 in the INTE-AUTO B, S, F, and P Series Cross Reference Circular Connectors.

For INTE-AUTO K Series connectors, you will get IP68 ratings when the plug and receptacle are mated.

If the K Series connectors are not mated, you can fit a dust cap to cover the plug and receptacle to reach IP68 degrees.

Figure 7 IP Ratings

These connectors have the following applications:

• The B Series circular connector is a cross reference to 0B, 1B, 2B, and 3B Series that is applicable in audio/visual equipment, medical equipment, communications, test and measuring instruments.
• The F Series is applicable in laboratory instruments, measurement instruments, medical equipment and industrial controls.
• The T and K Series cross reference circular connectors provide IP68 ratings and can be applied in rainy conditions. They are even preferred in industries that have high standards.
• These connectors can easily and quickly transfer current, data, signals, air, water, and pneumatic media from one place to another.
• They are applicable in machinery like the automotive industry, machine control systems or aerospace temperature sensors.
• They can be applied in the robotics industry, where you can easily and quickly transfer data, current or signals inside a robot.
• You can apply these connectors for communication purposes like indoor and outdoor antennas, satellites, space vehicles, remote controls etc.

If you are using more than one connector with the same size and color at the same place, then there are many chances that you will connect the plug with the wrong receptacle.

A keying system or keying code has been designed on the INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors to prevent such situations.

The different keying codes are G, A, B, C, D, E, F, and L.

A connector with the same size and color can be ordered with any of the above-mentioned key codes

So, a plug with key code G can only be mated with a receptacle having key code G, and a plug with key code A can only be connected with a receptacle with key code A.

Figure 8 Connector’s Keying System

Sometimes you are in a situation where you are not able to see the receptacle from your eye or align the plug for mating it with the receptacle.

To blindly mate the INTE-AUTO connectors in such situations, INTE-AUTO has made protrudes (Keying System) on their connectors.

These protrude has given code names such as code G, A, B, C, D, E, F, or code L.

Key code G means there is only one protrude on the connector that makes an angle of 0 degrees from the connector’s center and should be aligned before mating.

The other key codes A, B, C, D, E, F, or code L means the connector has two protrudes having different spaces between them according to their codes.

The space between them is measured from the center of the connector by angle, i.e., key code A means the two protrudes make an angle of 30 degrees from the connector’s center.

In the same way, the remaining key codes make an angle of 45/40/60/75/80/155/175 degrees, etc.

The technical specifications of INTE-AUTO Metal Connectors are given below:

• These connectors can endure more than 5000 mating cycles under IEC 60512-5 test 9a standard.
• They can resist humidity up to 95% at 60-degree Celsius temperature.

Sometimes the electromagnetic interface (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI) create hurdles for the data, current or signals to transfer from one place to another.

INTE-AUTO has 360° shielded its Cross Reference Circular Connectors to avoid these external interferences.

The 360° screening of these connectors also avoids crosstalk between different cables working near each other.

Figure 10 EMC Shielding Connector

The INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors are manufactured with the help of excellent quality material for long-lasting results.

They always think of the best possible solution for their customers so that they can get excellent service at the cheapest rates.

INTE-AUTO uses the same material to manufacture their Cross-Reference Circular Connectors as they are manufactured by original brands.

The connector’s insulator is the only component in INTE-AUTO Cross Reference Circular Connectors, manufactured using Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) material.

PPS material has excellent chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance and electrical resistance properties.

The original brands manufacture their connector’s insulator using Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) materials.

The contacts are gold-plated to provide maximum mating cycles.
