Shielded cordsets
25 June, 2009 byTurck is now offering the option to completely shield M8 picofast cordsets by connecting a braided shield directly to the coupling nut. This provides a cost-effective and reliable connection with 100% cable and connector shielding, which protects against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
IP68 snap connectors
09 June, 2009 bySwitchcraft has expanded its EN3 range with moulded cord and inline connectors that mate by ‘snapping’ together.
S12 connectors
01 April, 2009 byThe 4- and 5-wire S12 Quick-Connect connectors are designed to expedite installation and mate to any fully threaded M12 on the market, regardless of the manufacturer. These connectors employ advanced technology to simply attach to and detach from any M12 connection — and users can clearly hear and feel the click of the S12 Quick-Connect to know that it is fully attached. Using the S12 Quick-Connect provides a cost-effective method for component installation, including connecting numerous junction boxes where installation time can be reduced by 85%.
Food-safe stainless steel connectors
01 April, 2009 byUntil now, many machines and devices in the processing industries, particularly food and beverage, have been permanently wired due to the environmental conditions. Highly resistant to aggressive substances, the Han-Inox housings made of high-grade stainless steel have been developed for applications in these areas.
ATEX approved in line junction boxes
18 March, 2009Synatel has introduced a range of low cost ATEX approved in line junction boxes with five way connectors. Designated the Synatex range, the Synatex connectors are certified for 1D use making them suitable for use in continuous hazard (zone 20) applications.
Simple device integration of data, power and signal interfaces
18 March, 2009The type series of the Han PushPull connector system (variant 14 according to IEC/PAS 61076-3-117) has been extended by a complete range of metal bulkhead hoods which are used for the transmission of optical and electrical signals.
19-pin connectors
13 March, 2009 byTurck has expanded its 28.6 mm minifast connector line with the addition of the 19-pin connector. The 19-pin minifast connector is rated for up to 300 V, 4 A per pin, and is a solution for applications requiring an even more robust, cost-effective solution than a traditional 19-pin M23 connector — including material handling in manufacturing and packaging applications.
ATEX RJ45/RJ11/USB connectors
12 March, 2009 byAmphenol has released ATEX Ethernet and USB connectors for applications in zone 2 and Class I Division 2 explosive environments.
High contact density without assembly tools
21 January, 2009In the past, crimp technology was the only option on module inserts which feature a high contact density. The HARTING Technology Group has integrated its Han-Quick Lock technology into its Han EE module to create versions which can be assembled without tools.
Fitting for use in the food industry
01 December, 2008Metal Work Pneumatics has added to its range of fittings by introducing a phosphorous, nickel-plated push-in range, suitable for use in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, medical and electronics industries.
Wiring system
01 December, 2008Turck has announced the M16 powerfast wiring system for machine power distribution and motor control.
Power and I/O interconnects
05 October, 2008Samtec has added rugged interface products, including PowerStrip/55 high power interconnects, AccliMate and LifeJack I/O interfaces and the Tiger Eye micro rugged discrete wire system, to its standard product offering.
Moulded cordsets
05 October, 2008Turck now has the ability to mould its 6- and 8-pin M23 powerfast connectors. These connectors may also be completely shielded by connecting a braided shield directly to the coupling nuts.
Terminal blocks
08 August, 2008Rockwell Automation has extended its Allen-Bradley IEC terminal block range with the addition of new models to target faster installation, increased installation flexibility and panel space savings. The range expansion encompasses the 1492-J series of screw terminal blocks and the 1492-L suite of spring-clamp variants, as well as coloured and interlinked terminal block markers.
