binder has expanded its M12 product family with the addition of a positionable and lockable male panel-mounted version. Separate processing for the rectangular flange housing and wires offers subsequent mounting options. Due to the variable positioning of the coding, different cable outlet directions for angled connectors are possible.
By using the modular adapter system from icotek, a cable entry becomes a hybrid system. Pre-terminated and standard cables or hoses can be routed and, with the use of the IMAS-CONNECT grommets, you can now integrate various types of connectivity ports into the frame system.
Roxtec single and multi-cable transits protect against harsh environmental conditions. The CF 16 AISI stainless steel cable transists are designed to provide IP69K, IP67 or IP66 ratings in a small package. The cable transits are ideal for modern connected machine builders, smart factories, and more.
TE Connectivity has introduced its new zSFP+ stacked belly-to-belly connectors that are designed to support data rates at both 28G NRZ and 56 Gbps PAM-4. The upright latching feature for zSFP+ stacked belly-to-belly connectors is a key capability that can accommodate four row belly-to-belly applications to enable higher faceplate density and maximize printed circuit board (PCB) space usage for hyperscale data centers and networking switch applications.
L-com has expanded its offering of wall mount cabinets and wall mount racks for LAN, MDF/IDF, data center and IT connectivity applications. The new wall mount cabinets and wall mount racks feature cold rolled steel construction, a powder coat black matte finish, and are designed to address cable and equipment storage and management.
Using the IO-Link communication system to connect intelligent sensors and actuators to the controller significantly reduces the amount of time required. Sensors can connect quickly and without any errors using a pre-assembled cable, for example, while automated commissioning is also made possible by means of downloading parameter sets.
With the drive toward connected machines and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), more automation than ever is being connected via Ethernet. In industries from automotive to metalworking to food and beverage, Ethernet has become the data connection of choice. While wireless networks work well in office environments, a hardwired connection is still preferred for many applications in manufacturing to ensure connectivity and data availability.
Harting’s Han 1A offers a compact, robust and universally deployable rectangular connector system for transmission in all lifelines of Industry 4.0 (data, power,
signals). Smaller drives are becoming more common and require smaller interfaces. This new connector series reflects the trend with space optimized housings and inserts. The Han 1 A is 30% smaller than the Han 3 A, which was previously the smallest offering in the Han Industrial connector series.
AutomationDirect has developed a heavy duty power cable that can be cut-to-length to meet application requirements. Suitable for use in both wet and dry environments, the DLO Heavy Duty Cable is extremely flexible with a tight bend radius that allows easy installations in tight spaces.
Altech has introduced a spring clamp terminal block it claims is the industry’s most compact. The CX Series is not only compact, but easy to use and install, saving the user time and space in a panel. As a result, the CX Series is a cost-saving alternative to other screw or spring clamp blocks n the market.
Wago’s 3-conductor through terminal block is equipped with lever and push-buttons, test ports, side and centre marking and is flexible for use on 35×15 and 35×7.5 DIN-rails.
Panel builders require standardized options for power connectivity that save space, increase functionality, and enhance performance. Phoenix Contact’s new M12 Power cables and connectors make it easy to power drive motors, fans, lighting, and other distributed control boxes, even in tight spaces. The products, which are UL Listed and tested under UL 2237 (File E46873), can handle currents up to 16 A or voltages up to 600 V AC/63 V DC.
ERNI continues to expand its interconnect solutions designed for programmable logic/automation controllers, distributed control systems, remote I/O and other industrial automation applicaitons.Connectors offering 1.27 mm [.050”] pitch or less are becoming more common, while open pinfield interfaces offer the user maximum design flexibility for low speed and higher speed differential data.
Designed to replace traditional terminal blocks, the EF2 Series Zero ScrewTM connector delivers quick and secure one-step connection. By eliminating the need for screws, the EF2 Series terminals do not require inspection or retightening to ensure a stable and consistent connection like traditional terminal blocks. As a result, the screwless terminal block series significantly reduces the electrical wiring time and maintenance workload compared to conventional terminal blocks.
Phoenix Contact’s 6-mm MINI Analog Pro family now includes a 4-20 mA/HART signal duplicator. The duplicator makes it possible for two devices (such as a display, PLC input card, or DCS) to receive the same signal simultaneously.
