The Y-Circ P push-pull circular connector series from Yamaichi is being expanded with a new release system. Yamaichi is thus further expanding its Y-Circ P circular connector portfolio. "In order to offer a convenient extension to existing products, we have developed a new flexible system for easy unlocking," explains Matthias Schuster, Product Manager for circular connectors at Yamaichi Electronics. "The unlocking aid is compatible with all straight and angled cable connectors in the Y-Circ P series. It can be used for all standard sizes."
The circular connector is unlocked by simply pulling on the lanyard. The lanyard extends the connector to a certain extent. The functionality and advantages of the push-pull system are retained. In tight installation spaces, this can lead to a gain in efficiency, as the circular connectors can be reached and pulled out without great effort.
Yamaichi Electronics offers the new products of the Y-Circ P series including the already assembled release aid. This means that the new unlocking system can be used immediately after delivery. On the other hand, the release aid is offered as a retrofit kit for field assembly. Users can easily and quickly assemble the release themselves, without any functional disadvantages compared to the new product with pre-assembled release. Simple assembly is supported by the YCP-ACT-2 crimping tool. An online configurator helps with the correct assembly and generates the right lanyard for the selected product.
