Power connectors are reliable with the ability to support high current and when  mating and unmating are required, all at an affordable price.

They are manufactured by Cinch. They were also made by Vernitron Beau who was acquired by Molex. 

 Applications include:

 Data Processing Controls

 Medical Equipment

 Industrial Controls

 Communication Equipment.

 Amusement and vending machines

These connectors are offered in two series 300 and 2400 with a variety of cable and panel mounting options.

Features

300 series: current rated at 10 amps                                                        

                    Voltage: 250VAC

                    Sizes 2 to 33 contacts

                    Polarized to prevent incorrect insertion

                    Used in light and medium applications

                    Beau equivalent series is 3300

                    Part # example:  Cinch P-308-CCT = Beau P-3308-CCT

2400 Series: current rated at 15 amps

                     Voltage: 250VAC

                     Sizes 2 to 12 contacts

                     Polarized to prevent incorrect insertion

                     Used in medium applications

                     Beau equivalent series is 5400

                     Part # Example Cinch S-2404-DB = Beau S-5404-DB

Note:  Beau also made a Series 4400/ 15 amp that can be installed from the back of the panel or chassis. It is compatible with series 2400 and 400 style connectors.

Standard Radio has over 200,000 of these versatile connectors in stock. They are offered in several mounting configurations.

IE:  AB angle bracket

       LAB less angle bracket

       DB deep bracket

       SB shallow bracket

       FP flush plate

       CCT cable clamp top

       CCE cable clamp end

Film Capacitors come in two standard designs, a film-foil combination where plastic or paper films are interleaved with metal foils that serve as electrodes, or as a Metalized construction where film has aluminum or zinc deposited in it to serve as the electrodes.

Metalized film capacitors show there advantages where smaller applications are needed due to their smaller size and lower weight. Metalized capacitors also have a built in “healing” property where in the case of voltage stress the film will clear itself and heal the point of damage. Due to this “healing” property most metalized film capacitors are tolerant of overvoltage.

Circuits which require high currents may need a film-foil combination capacitor. The heavy foil of this combination offers low electrical resistance and excellent thermal dissipation preventing internal hot spots and optimizing the circuit efficiency.

Impregnated capacitors are recommended for high voltage circuits where corona may be a problem. Wax is suitable for a lower temperature application. For higher temperature application oil is a suitable impregnant. These capacitors can be either metalized or film-foil combination. Also, series wound units are used to prevent corona.

DLI makes capacitors for high frequency applications demanding near perfect, almost lossless devices. Their components use specially developed, proprietary materials tuned to provide optimized high Q, low ESR responses. 

They are the world’s largest supplier of single-layer capacitors, typically used in hybrid and high-frequency modules, offering the broadest range of material and device options.  Our multilayer capacitors include traditional “porcelain” products, as well as highly temperature-stable and extremely low ESR chips and a family of broadband blocks.
