Can rotating electrical connectors be used for low voltage signal, data, thermocouple and strain gauge circuits?
Yes. In addition to normal current and voltage uses, rotating electrical connectors are ideally suited to low voltage/low amperage current and signal transmission. Unlike standard brush slip rings, rotating electrical connector use liquid metal as the conductor. This produces an extremely low noise signal transmission similar to the signal transmitted through a solid wire. This makes rotating electrical connectors superior to brush slip rings for signal and data transmission. The signal quality does not degrade and no maintenance of the rotating electrical connector is required.
