ZH23 Series 4 Pin Bayonet Circular Connector

Product Information

The ZH23 series 4 pin bayonet connector combines four electrical contacts with a guided positioning structure and quick-lock coupling. It is designed for low-frequency AC and DC circuits where reliable electrical connection, convenient installation and environmental resistance are important.

The connector's five-button positioning system provides defined mating orientation, while the anti-insertion design helps prevent incorrect engagement. After alignment, the bayonet coupling allows the plug to be secured through a short rotational operation, making the connector convenient for equipment assembly and repeated maintenance.

For applications requiring resistance to temperature variation and environmental exposure, the connector is specified for operation from -60°C to +200°C and provides 96 hours of salt spray resistance. The gold-plated copper alloy contacts and PPS insulation are designed to support stable electrical performance.

The ZH23 series can be matched and interchanged with corresponding Russian СНЦ23 series connectors, subject to dimensional and electrical specification verification.

Key Characteristics

• -- 4-pin male contact configuration for multi-point electrical connection

• -- Five-button positioning provides defined mating orientation

• -- Anti-insertion structure helps reduce incorrect engagement

• -- Bayonet coupling enables quick connection and disconnection

• -- Gold-plated copper alloy contacts

• -- PPS insulating material

• -- Aluminum alloy shell with anodized treatment or industrial-grade zinc alloy with nickel plating

• -- Operating temperature from -60°C to +200°C

• -- Rated mechanical and working life of 500 cycles

Connection Technology

The connector uses a guided bayonet coupling system. During mating, the five-button positioning structure helps align the plug with the corresponding socket. Once correctly positioned, rotational movement engages the bayonet mechanism and secures the connector.

Electrical transmission takes place through four gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The PPS insulating structure separates the contacts and provides electrical insulation, while the treated metal shell contributes to the connector's mechanical and environmental performance.

Applications

The 4 pin ZH23 connector is suitable for low-frequency AC and DC circuits used in industrial control equipment, automation systems, instrumentation, electrical equipment, testing equipment and other applications requiring compact, quick-connect interfaces.
