Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select the right contact count?

Choose the contact count that matches your circuit requirement: for a simple DC power pair, use 2 contacts; for a 3-phase motor, use 3 contacts; for power + signal mixed use, use 4 to 8 contacts depending on circuit count.

Is the Metal Shell 1500 compatible with SubConn or Burton connectors?

The Metal Shell 1500 is our proprietary series and is not directly cross-compatible with SubConn or Burton connectors. However, we offer compatible series on request. Contact us with your mating connector details.

Can the connector be supplied pre-assembled to cable?

Yes -- all Metal Shell 1500 variants are available as complete cable assemblies with specified cable type, length, and overmoulded termination.
