Products Description
PC-4Z 4 Pin Male Panel Mount Circular Connector
Threaded Panel Receptacle | Solder Cup | 3A 200V | IP66
The PC-4Z 4 Pin Male Panel Mount Circular Connector is a compact threaded receptacle designed for fixed installation on equipment panels, control boxes and instrument housings. Its 4-pin male interface provides a practical connection point for power, control and signal circuits in industrial and electronic equipment.
A square flange with four mounting holes allows the receptacle to be secured directly to the equipment panel. The threaded mating interface provides positive mechanical retention, while rear solder cup contacts support 22–28 AWG conductors for internal wiring and custom harness integration.
Rated at 3A / 200V with contact resistance of ≤8mΩ and an IP66 protection rating, the PC-4Z is suited to industrial control systems, measurement instruments, communication equipment and other applications requiring a compact panel-mounted circular connection.

Panel Mount & Threaded Connection Design
Unlike an in-line cable plug, the PC-4Z panel mount connector is designed to become a fixed electrical interface on an equipment enclosure. Its square flange uses four mounting holes to secure the receptacle to the panel, while the circular mating interface remains accessible from the outside of the equipment.
The threaded outer interface allows a compatible PC series plug to be screwed onto the receptacle. This mechanical locking structure helps maintain engagement in installations exposed to equipment vibration, movement or repeated connection and disconnection.
On the equipment side, rear solder cup contacts provide direct termination for 22–28 AWG conductors. This arrangement is practical for internal control wiring, instrument wiring and customized cable harness integration.
Key Product Advantages
4-Pin Male Interface
The compact 4-position male contact layout provides four independent connection points for power, control or signal wiring according to the equipment circuit design.
Secure Panel Installation
A square four-hole flange allows the PC-4Z receptacle to be mounted directly to an instrument housing, control box or equipment panel for a stable fixed interface.
IP66 Protection
The connector is specified with IP66 protection, helping protect the connection against dust and powerful water jets when correctly assembled, mated and installed.
Applications
Additional Application Areas
Industrial Automation • Communication Equipment • Electronic Instruments • Test & Measurement Equipment • Machine Control Panels • Audio & Broadcast Equipment • Custom OEM Equipment
Why Use a PC-4Z Panel Mount Connector?
Equipment manufacturers often need a compact connector that creates a clean, serviceable interface between internal wiring and an external cable. The PC-4Z panel mount circular connector is designed for this purpose. Once installed on the enclosure, the receptacle remains fixed while a compatible threaded plug can be connected or removed from outside the equipment.
Compared with routing a permanent cable directly through the housing, a panel-mounted receptacle simplifies equipment installation, cable replacement and maintenance. The threaded mating structure also provides more secure mechanical retention than a simple push-fit connection.
For OEM equipment, the PC-4Z can be integrated with customized internal wiring or supplied as part of a complete cable assembly according to the required pinout, wire gauge, cable length and mating connector.
