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.
binder offers a wide range of M12 and M16 cable connectors within its overall product portfolio.

This provides new options to widen the range of applications and increase future demand. binder’s 423, 713, 715 and 825 Series connectors are perfectly suited to applications for miniature connectors in areas like automation engineering.
Part of the 718 Series, the new binder connector provides high reliability under advanced requirements with a new type of shielding concept. – even for customized specifications.
Offering reliable, harsh environment performance in a smaller package, Switchcraft’s new END series incorporates an RJ45 connected into a sealed housing. The RJ45 series offers data performance up to CAT6 while still ensuring the connectors are easy to terminate. Panel mount receptacles are sealed up to IP67 when mated or using the optional cap and are compatible with END series sealed plugs or any standard RJ45 connector.
As bandwidth speeds continue to increase, 200G/400G applications are becoming commonplace in high performance data center environments, requiring enhanced capabilities at the rack level. Panduit has recently launched the CS Connector, a high-density fiber connector solution that optimizes the data center for next generation applications. Its compact size enables breakout mode options and improves compute density for 25G-400G deployments.
Enabling wireless access to a machine or system, the new Wireless Access Point (758-919) supports WLAN (IEEE802.11a/b/g/d/n/r), Bluetooth® or Bluetooth® Low Energy in different operating modes
The metal housings in the Han EMV and Han HPR series are now also available in versions that enable contact inserts to be mounted from the rear — an option that simplifies the placement of interfaces on switch cabinet walls and increases the installation speed and thus lowers costs in the long term. HARTING has produced other connector types that feature a rear-fit mounting option.
Energy efficiency is a topic that HARTING is concerned with and for which the technology group offers specific solutions: With its Han S, HARTING has developed a series of connectors that enable customers to build energy storage systems on the basis of battery modules. The Han S is also the first HARTING-developed connector specifically designed for front-mounting energy storage systems.
Industry knowledge and experience in industrial circular connectors are both recognized hallmarks of binder. The company operates in many fields of application thanks to its comprehensive range of products the latest of which is a molded M8 circular connector. Part of the 718 Series, the new connector provides high reliability under advanced requirements – even for customized specifications – with a new type of shielding concept.
The new RockStar ModuPlug terminal block modules with PUSH IN connection technology re-invents control cabinet wiring. The innovative terminal solution in the connector frees up space in the cabinet and reduces the time needed for installation. Using the individual modules, combine all the necessary functions for power, signal, data and pneumatics transmission in a single interface.
Phoenix Contact’s family of 6-mm thin analog signal conditioners now has IECEx approval for use in Zone 2 areas. With this newest approval, the MINI Analog Pro family has the necessary Ex approvals for global use: ATEX, IECEx, and UL Class I, Division 2. Other approvals and certifications include CE, EAC, and DNV-GL. All MINI Analog Pro signal conditioners come in a pluggable housing with integrated current loop test points.
