Y Series Metal Push Pull Connector

QM Y Series Metal Push Pull Connectors are compact, lightweight and high-reliability circular connectors designed for aerospace equipment, marine electronics, military systems, industrial automation, rail transit and communication infrastructure. The series is suitable for applications that require secure connection, easy operation, mixed transmission and stable performance in harsh professional environments.

A key advantage of the Y series is its flexible hybrid transmission capability. It can integrate signals, high/low voltage, coaxial or triaxial channels, fiber and pneumatic circuits into one compact connector interface. This helps reduce the number of separate connectors, simplify system wiring and improve equipment integration in space-limited systems.

The Y series also supports excellent blind-mating performance, allowing fast and secure connection even in narrow or difficult-to-access installation spaces. With dual anti-mismatch protection through mechanical positioning and color coding, IP68 waterproof protection, electromagnetic shielding, rugged housing and a long mechanical lifespan of over 10,000 mating cycles, QM Y series connectors provide dependable interconnection support for harsh, mobile and high-reliability applications.

Key Features

  • Compact and lightweight connector design
    Suitable for aerospace, marine, rail, communication and industrial systems where space and weight matter.

    Ensure reliable conductivity and stable transmission of power, signals and high-speed data.

  • Over 10,000 mating cycles
    Suitable for applications requiring frequent connection, maintenance or long-term operation.

  • Supports high-speed data transmission
    Suitable for integrated equipment that requires stable signal, power and data communication in one connector system.

Applications

QM Y Series Metal Push Pull Connectors are suitable for high-reliability equipment that requires blind mating, hybrid transmission, anti-mismatch protection and stable operation in harsh environments.

Typical applications include:

  • Aerospace equipment

  • Marine electronics

  • Military systems

  • Industrial automation equipment

  • Rail transit systems

  • Communication base stations

  • Vehicle-mounted electronic systems

  • High-reliability control systems

  • Harsh-environment communication equipment

  • Integrated power and signal systems

  • Compact equipment with narrow installation space

  • Equipment requiring frequent mating and long service life

Compared with the Q series, the Y series places stronger emphasis on blind-mating operation, dual anti-mismatch identification and broader mixed-media transmission, including coaxial/triaxial, fiber and pneumatic channels. Compared with the K series, the Y series is more suitable when compactness, mixed transmission and frequent operation are more important than a purely rugged field-connector positioning.
