Hybrid connector
Hybrid circular connectors utilizing metal latches rather than traditional hardware are found in many high-reliability applications. For example, in a removable UAV wing, hybrid circular connectors provide rapid field setup and power/ signal delivery to vital components, such as servos and sensors. Their small size and circular shape pass through the wing spars without risk of getting caught or stuck in an unreachable location. Hybrid circular connectors also appear in a multitude of soldier-worn applications. Chargers, tablets, radios, and many other electronic devices promote health and safety and provide situational awareness. Hybrids provide data transfer through USB, Ethernet, or HDMI, while including additional power lines in packages smaller than the industry standard form factor. WEIGHT Weight requirements are determined by application and environment; the latter plays a critical role in the end solution. Weight is a key requirement in soldier-worn applications, and can have significant impact in equipment used in aeronautics, especially in space, as well.
