What are the main benefits of rectangular connectors? When compared to circular connectors rectangular connectors are generally less expensive,have shorter lead times and are more easily customizable.Rectangular Connectors are also have better grounding system providing more protection against overvoltage and have a visual polarization for easy mating. They can also be easily keyed. Key advantages for using rectangular connectors over circular includes: 1. Off-the-self modules for easy custom designs for any application. 2. superior space efficiency. 3. more termination option-crimp,solder, screw terminal, others. 4. More locking options-single or double-lever or push button. 5. Ability to connect to other device such as PCB. 6. Greater contact Density Possible. 7. Greater cabling Flexibility- Top,Dual,side or angled cable entry. 8. Surface mount,Panel mount and cable to cable compability. 9.lower cost. 10.Better protection against over voltage. 11. easier Visual matin
