TE Connectivity 2.5mm Sealed Signal Double Lock Connectors offer secondary locking safety combined with IP67 rated sealing protection. A space-saving 2.5mm centerline provides a compact design solution and robust seals enable reliable performance in water-related or high humidity environments. Contacts are on a miniature 2.5mm centerline spacing and accept 26AWG to 20AWG wire.
Single Pair Ethernet is the future of industrial Ethernet connectivity. HARTING understood this in 2015 when design began of a connectivity solution that would serve as the industrial and heavy industrial standard for Single Pair Ethernet. HARTING took the best parts of Ethernet technology already available, analyzed and removed the pain points of the current industrial Ethernet connectivity, and innovated the T1 Industrial.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company and world-wide manufacturer of high-speed connectors used in data communication applications, recently released a DIN Rail RJ45 Mounting Module, most commonly used in industrial networking applications. Stewart Connector’s DIN Rail RJ45 Mounting Module is designed for easy tool-less mounting and RJ45 jack installation.
The newly developed products target the growing need for suitable, reliable circular connectors in many applications including lighting and test and measurement instrumentation. The Series 670 are 5-pin subminiature connectors with a bayonet closure and a cable bushing from 3.5 to 5.0mm. The flange-type socket is provided with soldered and dip-soldered contacts.
The new monitor mounts GN 197, including VESA adapter plates and locking slide units GN 134.7 and GN 147.7, open up new possibilities for diverse customer needs.
Bel Magnetic Solutions, a Bel group company, recently expanded the Vertical Mount MagJack ICM series to include 1GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T with 60W PoE options. These Vertical Mount ICMs are ideally suited for 5G cellular equipment, single-board motherboards, industrial PCs, printers, daughter cards, industrial controllers, and any applications requiring a vertical mount Ethernet connector, where board space is a premium.
Balluff’s new CC-Link IE Field Basic network block with IO-Link makes it easy to connect Ethernet devices while providing the benefits of IO-Link. With 100 Megabit Ethernet, it delivers optimal performance in applications with low automation levels, where the gigabit speed of the CC-Link IE Field Master is not needed, such as bar loading magazines. It uses the Seamless Message Protocol (SLMP) for transparent communications to enable seamless connectivity within all levels of manufacturing.
Panduit will be introducing a new line of Single Pair Ethernet connectivity at Rockwell Automation Fair 2020. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a newly standardized communication technology that extends 2- and 4- pair ethernet to devices for both industrial control and building automation. It provides an evolution in device connectivity by standardizing how devices can integrate into existing software platforms without gateways.
Standardized interfaces offer many advantages and allow, among other things, a flexible adaptation of production facilities to new requirements. This also applies to plastics and rubber processing machines. Here EUROMAP, the umbrella organization of European plastics and rubber machine manufacturers, has defined standards for interface requirements, including 16 Euromap recommendations for the heavy-duty connector sector.
TE Connectivity’s Power Versa-Lock 5.0 Rectangular Power Connectors are for wire-to-wire applications and offer a flexible power solution that provides a current rating of up to 15A. TE Power Versa-Lock 5.0 Connector series provides an optional IP67-rated perimeter interface and gang seals to offer waterproofing capabilities. The series offers a tab-and-receptacle contact design with four points of contact for higher reliability.
Keystone offers an extensive series of waterproof connectors suitable for 100Base-T (Fast Ethernet) applications.
With the RST Mini from Wieland, lighting concepts can be implemented quickly and safely under critical installation conditions. Sophisticated lighting systems with a puristic minimalist design provide extremely limited space for the required electrical installation. In addition, such lighting concepts are increasingly being used not only in buildings, but also for outdoor installations.
Phoenix Contact has recently introduced its first robust multifiber data connectors to the market. The FO connectors of the M17 MPO (multifiber push-on) series are particularly suitable for real-time data transmission in intelligent power grids. The robust interfaces feature high-quality fiber optics which provide stable bandwidths over long transmission distances.
Balluff’s new double-ended converter cables with automotive style connectors create new options for manufacturers in the heavy equipment industry. By pairing an M12 to Deutsch DT or AMP Superseal connectors with several common pin outs, the converter cables give manufacturers the option of using sensors without pre-installed automotive style connectors. They can, instead, select the standard sensor that best meets their application requirements to use with a converter cable.
The EMC cable entry frame EMC-KEL-DS has been metallised (galvanise coated) to create a conductive surface. The front cable grommet (KT) is used for strain relief and cable sealing on the cable jacket. The cable shield is contacted over 360° via the rear conductive grommet (EMC-KT). The EMC-KEL-DS frames match exactly the cut-out dimensions for 24-pin standard industrial connectors. Either a cut-out of 36 mm or 46 mm in height can be chosen depending on the cables being routed.
The new modular adapter system IMAS-CONNECT is a modular designed grommet system for mounting circular connectors, Keystone jacks, hose fittings, pressure compensation elements and much more. By utilising the modular adapter system, the cable entry frame becomes a hybrid system. Pre-terminated and standard cables or hoses can be routed and at the same time the system serves as an interface for connectors.
