Circular Connectors Market Overview
The Global "Circular Connectors Market" is expected to reach at a high CAGR during the forecast period (2024-2031).
A circular connector is a multi-pin electrical connector in a cylindrical shape and has contacts for powering electrical devices, transmitting data, and transmitting electrical signals. It has a circular interface and enclosure that allows it to join and disconnect signal, power, and optical circuits quickly and easily without coupling equipment like torque wrenches. Circular connectors are designed for uncompromising performance in harsh environments and are widely used for industrial applications, including aircraft, broadcast, defense and security, electronics, energy, instrumentation, medical, and transportation.

Circular Connectors Market Dynamics
The ability to withstand a harsh environment while offering robust and secure connections is expected to drive the circular connectors market. However, substitutes such as rectangular face connectors restrain the circular connectors market.
The ability to withstand a harsh environment while offering robust and secure connection is expected to drive the circular connectors market
A circular connector comprises contacts, an insert, and a shell. The connections are usually encased in a composite or metal shell and embedded in insulating material to keep the contacts aligned. Moreover, the insert is another insulating body inside the shell. It is utilized to orientate the electrical connections. Each insert is manufactured to support given types or sizes of contacts. Further, the inserts have a contact arrangement that allows them to accommodate as many conductors as are available in contact slots. Therefore, circular connectors are designed for tough performance in harsh environments and are widely used for industrial applications, including aircraft, broadcast, defense and security, electronics, energy, instrumentation, medical, and transportation.
In October 2021, Binder, a UK-based company, launched the 718 product series with new field-wearable, over-molded M8 circular cable connectors designed for sensor and actuator applications installations. The products meet the IP65 protection degree requirements when mated. In addition, contacts are gold-plated brass for males and bronze for female contacts, allowing over 50 mating cycles. Therefore, they are particularly easy to handle, with high use efficiency.
The availability of substitutes such as rectangular face connectors are restraining the circular connectors market
The circular surface area of the circular connector limits the number of pins and sockets that may be arranged on the surface. In contrast, the rectangular face connector can install more contacts with bigger and more consistent spacing on a smaller surface area. In addition, when connectors are utilized in arrays, a significant amount of panel area is lost since the side-by-side arrangement necessitates additional accessible space to twist and lock the connectors in place. The loss of panel space has a detrimental impact on the circular connector market, as the automotive sector demands maximum performance with the least amount of space.
Moreover, new spring-enabled technology has been developed to solve the problem. The approach combines the excellent reliability of hyperboloid technology with the mechanical advantages of a spring-loaded contact to produce a connector with increased capability and reliability.
COVID-19 Impact on Circular Connectors Market Growth
Globally, digital technologies are being widely used to support the public health response to COVID-19, including case identification, contact tracing, population surveillance, and intervention evaluation based on mobility data and public communication. The quick reactions take advantage of millions of mobile phones, massive web datasets, networked devices, low-cost computing resources, and breakthroughs in machine learning and natural language processing.
Circular Connectors Market Segment Analysis
Based on type, the global circular connectors market is segmented into circular plastic connectors (CPC) and circular metal-shell connectors (CMC).
Circular metal-shell connectors (CMC) and circular plastic connectors (CPC) are designed by an OEM where the receptacle and plug are generally configured to mate exclusively with their connectors. CMCs are utilized in industrial applications that require a strong and secure wire connection, which are built to withstand harsh environments while offering a secure connection for industrial applications.
In September 2021, Dinkle Global launched its circular connection portfolio, giving dependable connectivity choices to enable greater equipment output, even in the most difficult conditions. The connectors' nickel-plated die-cast fittings provide a firm mechanical connection. In addition, its copper alloy gold-plated contacts for conductors and grounding pins provide stable electrical connectivity.
