Open style connectors

January 2003 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors Products & Solutions

Brad Harrison's new line of open style over-moulded DeviceNet connectors brings complete connectivity into the panel. One of the four DeviceNet connector types, the 'open style' of a five-pin connector, is now offered in an over-moulded format for DeviceNet users. This allows complete plug-and-play connectivity of the DeviceNet system from inside the enclosure to outside the panel.

The new family of products is available in both single and double-ended configurations, including versions with back panel receptacles, straight and right angle connectors. Cable options include the thick, thin, mid and flex versions of DeviceNet cabling.
