Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the TE Connectivity 213828-3 CPC receptacle assembly support?
The 213828-3 CPC receptacle assembly supports a contact range of 23 to 37 positions. This high contact count allows engineers to route multiple signal and power lines through a single circular connector, which is especially useful in instrumentation, defense electronics, and industrial automation systems that require dense multi-channel interconnects in a compact circular form factor.
How does the keyed plug design on the 213828-3 prevent mis-mating in field-deployed systems?
The 213828-3 includes a key plug system that physically restricts the orientation of mating connectors to a single correct alignment. This polarization mechanism ensures that field technicians cannot accidentally rotate and mate the connector incorrectly among 37-position contacts, preventing bent pins, short circuits, or damage to sensitive measurement equipment during rapid disconnect-and-reconnect operations in harsh environments.
What procurement lead time should buyers plan for when ordering the 213828-3?
The 213828-3 carries a factory lead time of approximately 34 weeks, which is significantly longer than standard commercial connectors. Procurement teams should plan orders at least 8 to 9 months ahead of production schedules, and consider carrying safety stock for programs with high connector consumption rates or stringent delivery milestones.
In which rugged application categories is the 213828-3 circular connector most commonly deployed?
The 213828-3 is most commonly deployed in military electronic systems, aerospace ground support equipment, and industrial test and measurement setups requiring 23 to 37-channel circular connectivity with a solid backshell for cable strain relief. Its female receptacle assembly mounts on panel or equipment chassis, with the matching plug assembly on cables for repeated connection cycles in demanding environments.
