The EL2044 digital output terminal connects the binary 24 V DC control signals from the automation device on to the actuators at the process level with electrical isolation. The EtherCAT Terminal contains four channels that indicate its signal state by means of light emitting diodes. The integrated diagnostics can be evaluated in the controller and is indicated by the LEDs.
Designed for both outdoor and indoor harsh environment equipment, the waterproof appliance coupler set from SCHURTER is rated IP67 when connected or IP69K unconnected, when used with the accessory covers.

Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, recently announced a new IP67 rated USB Type-C connector. The IP67 rated USB Type-C connectors are used in IoT applications where reliability and functionality are necessary when Ethernet moves outside typical office applications. USB Type-C connectors are growing in popularity in new and emerging products, introducing a new need for an IP67 rated version of connectors that can support high-speed transmissions in harsh environments.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions recently announced the MIL-STD-1553B twinax cable assembly expansion, including RoHS compliant and metric fixed length assemblies. As a major part in MIL-STD-1553B interconnect solutions, Trompeter MIL-STD-1553B twinax cable assemblies provide on-the-shelf fixed length cable assemblies to further ease fulfillment of customer requirements.
JAE has launched the KN06 Series, a rectangular single-engagement lever locking modular connector. This connector series was developed primarily to be used for large-equipment, such as semiconductor-manufacturing equipment and industrial equipment requiring multi-pole wiring. Large equipment, such as semiconductor-manufacturing equipment, inspection equipment and exposure equipment, are difficult to transport as fully assembled units.
Phoenix Contact’s single pair Ethernet (SPE) connectors can be used any time a small connection profile is needed, as well as when a customer wants to easily integrate devices and simplify circuit layouts. SPE is especially useful for field cabling to and from control cabinets, sensors, and field devices. It is a key technology for the implementation of an IIoT ecosystem in smart factories, smart buildings, and many other applications.
AutomationDirect has added more choices to their offering of Murrplastik cable entry systems. The addition of the KDL/D MONO series cable entry system provides the same benefits as the existing KDL/D series in a round frame form. This series allows a cable to be installed through an enclosure or other bulkhead surfaces, with the added benefit that pre-made, terminated cables can be installed without disassembling the connectors.
TE Connectivity has recently upgraded its rugged, high-speed Mezalok mezzanine connector family to support the growing demand for higher data rates and improved processing power in military electronics. The upgraded connectors have increased data rate support up to 32+ Gb/s. The Mezalok connector family has been designed specifically for mezzanine cards in rugged applications and is standardized as the interconnect for XMC 2.0 (VITA 61).
AutomationDirect’s new 1kV ALL-FLEX MTW/THHW heavy-duty flexible power cable from Direct Wire is an extremely flexible large gauge (8AWG to 500MCM) single-conductor industrial cable that is ideal for industrial control panel distribution, VFD power feeds, servo systems, and motor leads in non-drive related applications. The MTW and THHW ratings make them ideal for use in both wet and dry locations and in conduits, ducts, troughs, and control panels.
Molex is scaling global deployments of its high-speed copper and optical interconnects and modules to help customers better address demands for higher bandwidth. Molex’s broad portfolio of next-generation connectivity solutions leverage the latest advancements in copper and optics to deliver high signal integrity, lower latency and reduced insertion loss for optimal efficiency, speed and density.
Construction sites typically have several different contractors working simultaneously, which can make it hard to tell who owns the equipment and material being used to provide temporary power. General contractors, electrical contractors, generator sales, and rental companies all have equipment they use to bring power to the site. Cables are run along the ground to power tools, transformers, and other power distribution equipment, and it can be very tough to tell who owns the equipment and cables.
