Custom Circular Cable Assemblies
Y.C. Cable manufactures custom circular cable assemblies for OEM equipment, industrial systems, automation, medical equipment, transportation, communication, and other electronic applications.
Assemblies are manufactured according to customer-approved connector part numbers, drawings, BOMs, pinouts, cable specifications, dimensions, shielding requirements, and testing criteria.
Circular connector systems vary widely in contact arrangement, locking method, electrical characteristics, orientation, and environmental performance. The exact connector system should therefore be defined for each project.
Circular Connector Requirements
Useful project information may include:
• Connector manufacturer
• Connector series
• Exact part number
• Contact count
• Male or female configuration
• Plug or receptacle
• Straight or right-angle orientation
• Keying or polarization
• Mating connector
• Pinout
• Cable specification
• Shielding
• Cable length
• Environmental requirements
Providing exact part numbers helps avoid ambiguity between similar connector configurations.
Circular Cable Assembly Configurations
Depending on the customer-approved design, projects may include:
• Single-ended cable assemblies
• Double-ended assemblies
• Power cables
• Signal cables
• Sensor cables
• Data connections
• Shielded cables
• Multi-conductor assemblies
• Equipment interconnect cables
• Overmolded circular connectors
For M12-specific applications, visit M12 Cable Assemblies.
Cable, Pinout & Shielding Options
Circular connector assemblies may be configured around:
• Conductor count
• Wire gauge
• Cable type
• Custom cable length
• Pin-to-pin configuration
• Shielding
• Grounding
• Drain-wire requirements
• Protective sleeving
• Connector orientation
• Labels and identification
For RF-specific circular and coaxial connector applications, visit RF Cable Assemblies.
Environmental & Mechanical Considerations
Project requirements may involve:
• Connector retention
• Vibration
• Cable movement
• Bend radius
• Moisture
• Dust
• Temperature
• Abrasion
• Oil
• Chemicals
• Installation space
• Mating and service access
Environmental performance depends on the selected connector, cable, termination, sealing, and complete assembly design. Required IP or environmental ratings should be explicitly defined for the individual project.
Overmolded Circular Connector Assemblies
Some circular cable assemblies may incorporate overmolding for:
• Strain relief
• Cable transitions
• Connector protection
• Custom cable exit geometry
• Product identification
• Application-specific environmental protection

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a circular cable assembly?
A circular cable assembly combines a circular connector with wire or cable according to a defined pinout, electrical configuration, mechanical design, and application requirement.
Can Y.C. Cable manufacture using our specified circular connector?
Yes. Projects can be built according to customer-approved connector part numbers and technical documentation.
Are all circular cable assemblies sealed or waterproof?
No. Environmental performance depends on the selected connector, cable, termination, sealing method, and finished assembly. Any required rating should be specified for the project.
Can circular connectors be overmolded?
Yes, depending on connector geometry, tooling, material compatibility, and project requirements.
