What Are the Common Applications for High-Temperature Metal Circular Connectors
2025-12-18
When operational reliability is non-negotiable under extreme thermal stress, standard connectors fail. This is where High-Temperature Metal Circular Connectors become critical. Engineered to maintain signal integrity and structural stability where others cannot, these components are the backbone of mission-critical systems. At Gaoshiwei, we specialize in designing and manufacturing premium Metal Circular Connectors that excel in the most demanding high-heat environments, ensuring your projects proceed without interruption.
Gaoshiwei High-Temperature Connector Solutions: Built for the Extreme
Our connectors are not just resistant to heat; they are built around it. Key parameters include:
-
Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to +200°C continuous, with peak resistance up to +260°C.
-
Shell Material: Stainless steel or aluminum alloy with advanced platings for superior corrosion and thermal resistance.
-
Sealing: Robust silicone or fluorosiliconone seals maintain IP68/IP69K ratings even after thermal cycling.
-
Insulation: Utilizes PTFE or other high-temperature thermoplastics to prevent dielectric breakdown.
-
Contacts: Gold-plated copper alloy for reliable, low-resistance connections that resist oxidation.
Primary Applications Across Industries
| Industry | Application | Why Gaoshiwei Connectors Are Used |

| Automotive Testing | Engine control unit (ECU) testing, exhaust gas sensors | Reliable data acquisition under prolonged hood temperatures. |
| Oil & Gas | Downhole tools, drilling sensor equipment, refinery controls | Resist high ambient heat, pressure, and corrosive atmospheres. |
| Industrial Automation | Foundry robotics, furnace controls, welding machinery | Ensure continuous operation next to intense heat sources. |
Metal Circular Connectors FAQ
Q: How does high temperature affect the performance of a circular connector?
A: Extreme heat can degrade insulator materials, cause contact oxidation, weaken seals, and expand metal shells, leading to signal loss, short circuits, and mechanical failure. Gaoshiwei connectors use materials selected specifically to mitigate these effects.
Q: Can I use a standard commercial connector in a high-temperature environment if it's only for a short time?
A: It is highly discouraged. Even short exposures can cause permanent damage to plastics and seals, creating a latent failure point. For reliability and safety, always specify a connector like Gaoshiwei's, rated for the maximum expected temperature.
Q: What maintenance is required for these connectors in high-heat applications?
A: Regular inspection for seal integrity and contact cleanliness is crucial. We recommend following our maintenance schedule, which includes checking for brittleness in seals and using appropriate high-temperature lubricants on coupling threads to prevent galling.
