The EP ZH23-10/18B-1-B is a ten-contact circular electrical connector with a shell size 18 configuration, designed for fixed electrical interfaces on equipment panels. Ten male pin contacts are arranged within a circular insulating assembly, supported by a metal housing, square mounting flange and bayonet mating structure. Its Type 1 simple tail attachment provides a defined rear configuration for wiring and assembly according to the product design.

This ZH23 10 Pin Panel Mount Circular Connector is intended for equipment requiring multiple electrical contact points, fixed mounting and a serviceable mating interface. The compatible ZH23-27Y18 protective cap provides physical coverage when the interface is not connected. The actual power or signal functions must be determined from the pin assignment, electrical ratings and equipment circuit design.

The connector establishes a multi-contact electrical connection between an equipment panel and a compatible mating connector. Its ten contacts can be assigned to suitable power, control or signal circuits according to the system design, consolidating multiple connection points within one interface.

The square flange supports panel mounting, while the bayonet mechanism provides the specified mating and locking action with a compatible connector.

When the interface is temporarily unused, the ZH23-27Y18 protective cap can cover the connection area to help reduce direct exposure to dust and foreign objects.

Why Is This Product Needed ?

Industrial control equipment, inspection instruments and specialized electrical systems often need multiple independent circuits connected within limited space. Using separate individual interfaces can increase panel cutouts and complicate wiring management and maintenance identification. A ten-contact circular connector consolidates these connections into a defined panel-mounted interface.

Compared with loose wiring or inconsistent connection arrangements, a correctly selected panel-mount connector makes interface labeling, pinout documentation and maintenance records easier to organize. Its bayonet coupling supports equipment requiring periodic mating and disconnection, while the compatible protective cap helps manage unused interfaces. The product therefore provides not only ten contacts but also a more organized approach to equipment interface design and maintenance.

Core Performance Advantages

Improves Multi-Circuit Interface Organization

Integrating ten contacts into one interface helps equipment designers organize multiple circuits and establish consistent wiring documentation through pinout tables, port labels and maintenance records. For equipment requiring numerous electrical connection points, this centralized approach can reduce the complexity associated with managing separate interfaces.

Supports Fixed Installation and Equipment Integration

The mounting flange secures the connector at a designated position, creating a defined relationship between the external interface and equipment enclosure. During equipment development, designers can plan interface orientation, panel space and service access in advance, reducing the need for repeated positioning adjustments during assembly.

Product FAQ

What Is the ZH23-27Y18 Accessory ?

The ZH23-27Y18 is a protective cap for the corresponding shell size 18 interface. It covers the connection area when the connector is unmated, while its metal chain helps reduce the risk of losing the cap.

How Many Contacts Does This Connector Have ?

This model features ten male pin contacts, which can be assigned to suitable circuits according to the equipment design. The exact contact numbering and wiring assignments must be confirmed from the official pinout drawing.

What Information Is Required Before Ordering ?

Please provide the complete part number, engineering drawing, mating connector model, operating environment, electrical requirements, order quantity and packaging requirements. For replacement projects, photos of the existing connector, mounting dimensions or a physical sample are recommended to help verify compatibility.

Does Premier Cable Offer Connector Customization and Wholesale Supply ?

Premier Cable can discuss connector selection, protective-cap accessories, product labeling, packaging and bulk purchasing solutions according to project requirements. OEM customization scope, minimum order quantities, lead times and quality documentation should be confirmed during technical evaluation and formal quotation.
