From barcode scanners, RFID read/write heads, and vision systems to weighing scales: devices with serial interfaces are still used in many applications. At the same time, there is a shift toward modern Ethernet-based fieldbus systems such as PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. This means users are faced with the challenge of harmonizing their systems.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, introduces 2.92mm, 40GHz cable assemblies utilizing two Cinch brands, Johnson connectors and Semflex low loss PTFE Cable. Cinch Connectivity Solutions’ Johnson 2.92mm, 40 GHz Test Cable Assemblies utilize 2.92mm connectors coupled with Semflex HP160S cable with Vp (velocity of propagation) of 76%, offering industry leading performance for test and measurement environments.
Eaton FAZ-NA and FAZ-NA-L series current-limiting miniature circuit breakers from AutomationDirect offer optimum and efficient protection for feeder, branch and control circuits up to 63 amps. These DIN-rail mountable circuit breakers are available with B, C or D trip characteristics in accordance with UL 489.
Mencom Corporation has launched a series of industrial enclosures pecially designed for industrial applications corrosive external agents, like saltwater spray, are present.
The Weidmuller Configurator makes panel building a seamless process, building a bridge from planning through to operation.
Newly designed AAA Series XLR connectors feature a two piece design with integral strain relief for quick assembly. The pin insert is pre-loaded into the front shell, further reducing assembly time. A flat area on the handle is designed to accommodate custom labeling options.
KEB’s C6 EtherCAT counter modules bring incremental encoder signals to the EtherCAT bus. Each module supports 2 TTL quadrature encoder signals with complement tracks and a Z-channel.
TE Connectivity (TE) recently announced its new PCON terminals. Leveraging TE’s extensive connector terminal expertise, these high-power terminals combine high current capability with a smart and robust design for high vibration resistance. “PCON high-power terminals are specifically designed to support the increased connectivity requirements in high-voltage interconnection systems of hybrid and all-electric vehicles,” said Gautham Kadhirvel, product manager, TE Connectivity.
Harwin has developed a 1.27mm pitch board-to-board connectors support data rates of up to 3Gbits/s. Compatible with Ethernet speeds up to 2.94 Gbits/s, the Archer Kontrol series is optimized for modern industrial infrastructure.
Thermtrol Corporation has achieved IATF 16949:2016 certification, the highest international quality standard for the automotive industry.
The Fischer Freedom™ Series has been extended to serve as a technology platform in connectivity with new standards in usability, integrability and versatility.
Extension cable for both Type K and Type J thermocouples is available with either an overall shield (OS) or with individually shielded pairs with an overall shield (SPOS). These cables allow the connection of multiple field sensors to operating instrumentation or PLC input cards with one run versus having to install multiple extension wires.
The EK9160 Coupler provides direct connectivity for EtherCAT I/Os to the Internet of Things (IoT) without the need for a control program. It converts the E-bus signal representation to different IoT communication protocols and enables in this way the simple and standardised integration of I/O data into cloud-based communication and data services. Neither a controller nor prior programming is necessary. The I/O data transmission can be parameterised in a user-friendly configuration dialog of the integrated web server providing access via any browser.
Amphenol Sine Systems’ ecomate® Aquarius Waterproof Connectors provide an IP67/69K waterproof rating when in a mated condition for industrial applications.
The KDL/D cable entry system allows cables to be installed through enclosures or other bulkhead surfaces, with the added benefit that pre-made, terminated cables can be installed without disassembling the connectors. The split-frame system enables the quick and simple installation of up to 48 cables in a single frame. Four frame sizes, starting at $16.00, fit standard cut-out dimensions and provide integrated strain relief.
L-com introduces new line of 18 GHz, LL142 & LL335i rugged low-loss cables. The smaller diameter of these new 18 GHz coax cables provides a tighter bend radius while offering low loss and higher power when compared to solid dielectric cables.
