The **JN2AS10ML3-R** is a high-performance, circular connector manufactured by **JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)**. It belongs to the JN2 series, which is specifically designed for industrial applications requiring a small footprint and waterproof capabilities. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Series** | JN2 (Small Waterproof Connector) | | **Shell Size** | A (Compact design) | | **Number of Contacts** | 10 Pins | | **Connector Type** | Straight Plug | | **Contact Gender** | Socket (Female) - Note: Contacts usually sold separately | | **Termination Method** | Crimp (Allows for flexible wire assembly) | | **Rated Current** | 3A per contact | | **Rated Voltage** | 200 VAC | | **IP Rating** | IP67 (Dust-tight and waterproof when mated) | --- ### 2. Physical Design and Construction The JN2AS10ML3-R is engineered for durability in harsh environments. * **One-Touch Locking Mechanism:** It features a "push-twist" locking system. This provides a tactile click to ensure the connection is secure and allows for quick disconnection compared to traditional screw-on types. * **Material Composition:** * **Outer Shell:** Synthetic resin (lightweight yet robust). * **Insulator:** Synthetic resin. * **Safety Feature:** The connector includes a ground (earth) contact that connects before the other signal pins to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. --- ### 3. Application Areas Due to its vibration resistance and waterproof rating, this part is commonly found in: 1. **Industrial Robotics:** Connection points for sensors and small motors. 2. **Machine Tools:** Control panels and peripheral equipment. 3. **Communication Devices:** Outdoor broadcasting or networking gear. 4. **Medical Equipment:** Devices requiring frequent cleaning or exposure to fluids. --- ### 4. Mating and Accessories To form a complete connection, the JN2AS10ML3-R typically requires: * **Mating Receptacle:** Usually a panel-mount or cable-to-cable receptacle from the JN2 series (e.g., JN2AS10UL1). * **Contacts:** You must purchase specific crimp contacts (usually Gold or Silver plated) depending on your wire gauge (AWG). * **Bushings:** Rubber bushings are used to seal the cable entry point to maintain the IP67 rating.
