Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors


Escha's standardised cordsets

April 2011 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

With the Automation Line from Escha, RET Automation now offers a wide range of connector products which meet nearly all the demands of engineering. Until now it was normal to use different types of cable for different requirements, but the Automation Line with the new S370-cable fulfils all the established requirements. Users can effectively reduce stock holding with this standardised solution. The S370 cable is UL-approved and suitable for drag chains. It is free of halogen, silicone and PVC, flame-retardant and resistant against welding sparks, chemicals, oil, microbes and hydrolysis.

The range consists of M8x1and M12x1 round connectors in different types and polarities. The designs are also available with LED’s in angular types. They can be equipped with both voltage and switching status display, or just with a switching status display. All products are dust and waterproof according to IP67 and available with 2, 3 or 4 poles.

Escha has integrated a two shell shielding concept into the shielded versions of the Automation Line. Based on a housing crimp connection, a full 360° shielding of the connector is guaranteed, even with high mechanical pressure and vibration.
