Connectors handle data and power
September 2016
Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
Currently with 25 different contact inserts, the range meets all needs from energy supply to data transmission. Consequently, one size can reliably transmit power of up to 40 A/690 V and sensitive data signals such as Ethernet. In addition, multipole varieties with up to 21 contacts are also available, and contact inserts are possible for optical data transmission.
Key features of the system include ease of handling and operation. The locking mechanism integrated in the housing locks both housing halves reliably during the connection process. Unlocking is a similarly intuitive process: a brief push on the activation button is all that is required; the robust stainless steel locking mechanism is deactivated, allowing the connector halves to be separated from each other.
To ensure reliable data transmission, the connectors mitigate electromagnetic interference through the nesting of both housing halves and direct electrical connection between the housing and the adjacent surface. The use of larger diameter sheathed cabling is also addressed by having an M25 cable input.
