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.
