In2Connect UK Ltd has extended its range of IP67 bayonet locking connectors with a new power connector to complement the panel cut-outs of the existing RJ45 Ethernet, USB and Fibre Optic Duplex LC data and bus connectors. These power connectors offer the flexibility of front or back mounting within a single panel footprint.

POWER BAYONET CONNECTORS

These new power connectors are designed for industrial cable connections with IP67 protection. Bayonet locking allows a quick, simple and robust connection in harsh environments. 2 and 3 pole versions are available within the IP67 power bayonet connector series. The 2-pos. version is designed for DC use up to max. 48 V DC and the 3-pos. version utilises a premating contact for AC up to max. 250 V AC with protective earth contact (PE).
Crimp contacts are available for wire cross sections 12 to 10AWG or AWG10 to 8 for the 2 pole plus AWG14 to 12 for the 3 contact version. Crimp connections ensure easy, safe and quick mounting of the contacts, which are included in the connector kit.

These power connectors can be used to replace other types like the IEC C13, Neutrik PowerCon or CEE Norm and have the added benefit over some of bayonet locking to ensure safety and continuity of supply in an industrial environment.

IP67 ETHERNET CONNECTORS

For industrial real-time-Ethernet, In2Connect has developed an RJ45 connector type with a bayonet latching mechanism according to the IEC 61076-3-106 standard. This robust design with IP67 rating ensures reliable protection and easy connection under harsh environmental conditions. They are not intended for use under continuous pressure. In consideration of the broad range of ‘rained on’ definitions, the industry appears to have agreed to a ‘test of immersion for 30 minutes, at a depth of 1 metre, or the equivalent air test at 1.45 psi. That is the Qualification Test. (Protected against the effects of temporary immersion between 15cm and 1metre. Duration of test 30minutes). A socket connector with IP67 rating, bayonet coupling and protective cap is available for installation into equipment. It can be mounted on the front or rear side of an enclosure panel of up to 3.2 mm thickness and is available in three designs.

Preassembled patch cables with IP67 rating in various lengths are available to interconnect panels and equipment.

In2Connect’s M12 connectors are IP67 rated can be screened and are well suited for wet, moisture-laden environments so are much used to connect sensors and actuators in automation systems

M12 connectors are coded. The common used types are:

A-Coded; used with Sensor Actuators

B-Coded; used with Field Buses

D-Coded; used with Industrial Ethernet   

X-Coded; used with10 Gbps Ethernet

M12 connectors moulded to cable

Over-moulded M12 connectors improve durability and streamline the size of a cable connection. Available with 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 contacts, the M12 connectors have anti-vibration locking and come in various cable lengths and quality. When it gets really tough: Shielded connectors protect and bypass weak signals. A uniform cable shielding ensures seamless signal transmission.

Loose-field-attachable M12 connectors

Field attachable M12 connectors from In2Connect give you the freedom and flexibility to react to the cabling situation on site or to build your own M12 cables. Field-attachable connectors allow for stripped wire to be attached to the connector in the field using a simple screwdriver tool. This facilitates a faster, less complicated installation. This programme comprises 4 or 5 pole connectors and adapters with anti-vibration locking - in a straight or angled construction as well as in shielded versions. You can choose between screw and clamp connections as well as a maximum input cable diameter of 6 or 8mm. Field-attachable connectors are available in straight or 90-degree angled construction.

M12 Sockets, PCB or wire

Connectors and adapters with 4, 5 and 8 contacts are available with 0.5mm long single wires as well as well as pin contacts for the M12x1 connection to the device. Front mounted flange connectors with wires are also available and can be positioned with a lock nut. Flange connectors and adapters for rear housing mounting with different length pin contacts for soldering directly on the printed circuit board complete the programme. An installation flange for direct assembly on the printed circuit board is also available with a shielded connection option in an axial and angled version. A spring-loaded shield plate connects the flange housing directly to the printed circuit board, which is especially important in bus applications. All products in this series are designed for a printed circuit board thickness of 1.6mm and a device wall thickness of 2-3mm. You can select from two different installation heights (10.0mm and 5.5mm) for the axial version.

SMT M12 connectors

In2Connect has expanded its range of M12 automation connectors to include 4, 5 and 8 pin Surface Mount versions (SMT) with A, B or D-coding and a shielding option.

These are available as Tape and Reel in rolls of 75 units or in bulk or tray packaging suitable for automated pick and place assembly.

A-coded versions are successfully used for power supply on sensor/actuator distribution boxes or on Ethernet switches. The A-coded connectors are also standard for low voltage switching devices according to IEC 60947-5-2. The modular connector system includes male connectors of 9 or 13mm mounting hardware with O-ring seals ensure protection according to IP67.

  

M12 Connectors with LEDs

An extensive selection of sockets of various sizes, configurations and connection types is at your disposal. Choose from the sizes M12x1, M8x1, 7/8“. Sockets with wire, dip-solder as well as with overmoulded cable in front or back mounting with PG9 or M16x1,5 thread. PCB versions axial and angled as well as contact carrier for SMT processing complete the range.

X-Coded M12x1 Circular connectors

Modern automation solutions need universal communication cabling for the different networks. Conec M12x1 X-coded connectors have been developed for such applications. These components are designed for transmission technology according to CAT6A and 500 MHz/10 Gigabit, and are standardised to IEC 61076-2-109. M12 X-code connectors have 4 shielded pairs for reliable high speed data transfer in such applications as vision systems: plus industrial grade materials for harsh environments, all in the small M12 connector. Patch cable standard lengths are 1, 2, 5 and 10 metres.

Enhanced Shielded M12x1 Connectors for Harsh Environments

For enhanced EMI performance, the body shield on these connectors has been extended to the surface of the PCB, eliminating any apertures that could cause EMI leakage. These connectors have 360 degree of cable screen termination minimising the possibility of electrical interference in sensitive applications such as GPS and video signal transmission. 360 degree shielding is achieved with 3 extra grounding pins, to ensure low impedance in the ground path, and full coverage of the ground traces on the PCB. These PCB mounted M12x1 connectors are available in rear mount configuration, in “A coding” with 4, 5, or 8 pins, “B coding” with 4 pins, and “D coding” with 4 pins.

Junction systems

Y junction boxes from CONEC with 5 pin connectors enable you to lay two incoming signals together at one E/A socket. This means that you can double your connection options for one actuator/ sensor box.

You can connect up to 16 initiators using one M12x1 junction box with 8 E/A sockets. CONEC overmoulded components are also available for the output connection to the sensor. This provides a cost-effective and practical wiring system in the field for sensors and actuators with a cabling system that meets protection class IP67. Junction boxes are used anywhere sensor and actuator signals need to be extended quickly and easily for connection to their superordinate control systems. Individual signals are either connected directly to the superordinate system via a homerun cable or via a connection interface. Optional LED displays for signal and power reduce the effort required to track down errors.
