What are Cinch Jones blade type plugs and sockets?

These rugged and durable blade type plugs and sockets also known as Cinch Jones, Jones or power connectors have been popular in industrial applications for many years. These blade connectors are best used in applications that need high current capacity. They are perfect in situations that require frequent mating and un-mating. These plugs and sockets provide you with an economical option to use in place of high reliability connectors that can cost too much. Tedss.com has stock on most of the popular part numbers and the ability to get quotes from the factory for what you do not see in our inventory. Tedss.com will continue to offer our customers both the newest of technology and the traditional products at great prices.

The industry leaders in this blade type of connector are Cinch and Molex (Beau). They offer a product line that is compatible and very similar in the product specifications. Both brands have long history and even used similar part numbers for this style of connector.

Cinch for many years used the name Cinch Jones in order to reinforce its connection with the Howard P Jones Company that was an originator of this type of connector. They referred to this type of product as “Jones” plugs and sockets in their promotional literature and catalogs. In time the Cinch name became more popular and is a premier manufacturer of this type of connector.

Molex bought the Vernitron Corporation which had acquired the “Beau” products division. Molex has converted the former Vernitron part numbers to Molex numbers and at Tedss.com we can provide you with a cross reference not only from brand to the other. We can also provide with the former Beau-Vernitron part numbers.
