Neutrik offers three types of circular connectors: nanoCON, miniCON and neutriCON

The circular connectors are designed to meet the requirements for industrial applications and special solutions in the audio industry.

They are used for industrial and medical applications such as car diagnostic systems, data cables for LCD screens, etc.

The circular connectors have a modular structure of parts, the male/female inserts fit into the same housings. The amount and kind of contacts are in your choice and a lot of different variations are possible.

All circular connectors have a high amount of contacts in relation to the housing measurements and are ideal for applications which require small connectors and many contacts.
