C-type connector
- details and information about the C-type connector, - C-type socket and
plug with links to suppliers.
Although not widely used these days, one form of connector
that can be used for higher power applications where quick mating and release
are required is the C-type connector. The C-type connector was designed by
Amphenol engineer Carl Concelman who also designed several other types of
connector.
The C-type connector uses a bayonet fitting using two studs
to enable the connector to be fully located and locked in position. The C-type
connector is weatherproof, although if it is to be used externally, then it is
always wise to use self amalgamating tape or other protection.
The C-type connector is not widely used, but it can be
obtained from a variety of suppliers should it be needed for any given
application.
