CIRCON M23 Connectors are available in 3 housing arrangements that can accommodate 3 different insert
keying positions. Inserts are offered in 7 contact configurations for mounting male or female, crimp or solder contacts.
Common to all arrangements are a rugged nickel plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and sleeve, and gold
plated electrical contacts. Cable mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and cable clamp and
seal. The figure to the right shows the general construction of these connectors.
The connectors are offered with insert configurations for 6, 7, 8+1, 9, 12, 16, and 17 crimp or solder contacts in either a
clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation. Used in combination, they connect one cable with another (cable coupler) or
a cable to fixed wiring in a control enclosure or on a machine, instrument, or servo motor.
