CONEC has expanded its portfolio of M12 connectors to include L-coded axial shielded THR variants, thus offering a compact, powerful solution for supplying power to automation devices not only via unshielded cables but also via shielded cables.

The Push-Pull version with inner locking of the M12 connector from Yamaichi Electronics is specified in the international standard IEC 61076-2-012. This makes design-ins for M12 Push-Pull systems possible without having to utilise proprietary solutions.

In Product News 2023, CONEC provides an overview of new products from the product groups M12 connectors, sockets, insulation bodies, valve connectors AT06, filter connectors from the D-SUB world, hoods, and accessories. In addition to a variety of connectors for all current standards, CONEC's particular strengths is the integrated moulding of components and assemblies and the development of customized solutions.

CONEC has expanded its valve connector connector program with overmolded DT connectors in 90‑degree angled design with single as well as double cable outlet. Four different directions of the 90‑degree cable outlet are offered.

At electronica WECO presented robust connectors and terminals for industrial, energy and automation projects. WECO Contact GmbH, manufacturer of connection elements for the electronics and electrical engineering sectors, presented its extensive portfolio for industrial electronics and consumer goods at electronica. This year, the focus of the trade fair was on "Tailored Solutions", connection solutions specially tailored to the needs of customers.

The push-pull circular connectors Y-Circ P from Yamaichi Electronics are so reliable that they can be used not only in automation but also in medical technology.

M12 connector series with bayonet quick locking with data transmission rate up to 10 Gbit/s. At the SPS, CONEC presented an expansion of the M12x1 connector series with bayonet quick locking. In addition to the already known variants of overmoulded connectors, sockets print and with wire, there are now field attachable connectors, A-, B-, D- and X-coded. On the device side, the corresponding print sockets axial and angled are added in B-, and X-coding.

One connector instead of two or three, shorter assembly times, no cable tangle, less weight on the end device (for example motor) – these are the convincing arguments for the CONEC Hybrid connector series.

Yamaichi Electronics offers many different high-speed connectors. Among these are also high-speed versions in the Y-Circ P product group of metallic push-pull circular connectors.

CONEC offers variants of M12x1 connectors overmoulded with coloured plastic coupling elements in its product portfolio – especially for the chemical industry, municipal technology and the agricultural sector. In addition to the standard zinc die-cast or turned stainless steel versions, the plastic elements open up new fields of application.

The L-coded, field-attachable M12x1 connector with screw connection up to 2.5 mm² saves space and can be flexibly assembled in the field. In addition, CONEC offers M12 connectors in A, B, D and X coding with crimp termination in shielded design with straight housing.

In industry and transport, M12 connectors are used for sensor / actuator cabling and for BUS systems. It is important to use reliable, flexible and robust components. Connectors that are easy to assemble play an important role in the implementation process.

For maximum flexibility in device development CONEC offers a comprehensive range of connectors of various sizes and contact layouts for automatic production processes. The advantages of THR (Through-Hole-Reflow-Technology) and SMT (Surface-Mounting-Technology) assembly are that the connection technology can be integrated into the SMT process and thus the efficiency in device production in the electronics sector can be increased.

In order to save time and thus costs, ease of maintenance and speed of installation are playing an increasingly important role in industrial cabling. Overmoulded connectors with snap termination can be quickly and easily plugged onto sockets, sensors and actuators without any further work steps or tools.

The tool-free field assembly connector of the Y-Con RJ45 series from Yamaichi Electronics bears the name Y-Con Profix-Plug. This quick and easy to assemble RJ45 connector meets the Category 6A requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801 standard and was developed for industrial applications.

Progressively decentralized automation, keyword industry 4.0, requires flexible and individual wiring in certain areas directly in the field and at the machine. The constantly growing number of sensors for monitoring operating and machine conditions also necessitates the use of field-attachable connector variants that can be assembled to enable flexible electrical connections directly in the field. CONEC offers various connector families that meet these requirements.

The RJ45 series Y-Con from Yamaichi Electronics was developed for the toughest industrial applications and is a flexible, modular, and expandable product line. It meets the requirements of protection ratings IP20, IP67, IP68 and IP69K, among others.

In the commercial vehicle industry and in agricultural, construction and municipal technology as well as in the Off-road sector, connector systems are required that offer extremely high performance even under the most difficult environmental conditions, such as at sub-zero temperatures or in dusty, hot environments.

Due to the ever-increasing complexity of machines and systems with a variety of sensors and actuators, there is a need to distribute data to centralized or decentralized enclosures or control cabinets. The overmoulded panel feed-throughs from CONEC can be used, for example, to transfer data from the IP67 world to the IP20 world in the control cabinet.

CONEC offers a D-SUB quick locking system which enables a quick and easy locking and unlocking without additional tools. The system allows a locking even at poorly visible device interfaces due to the audible and tangible "click“. Retrofitting an existing system with quick release hoods is also possible.

In Product News 2022, CONEC provides an overview of innovations from the product groups M8x1, M12x1, B17 (Hybrid connectors), receptacles, insulation bodies, and the valve connectors series ATM and DT. In addition to a variety of connectors for all current standards, CONEC's particular strength is the integrated moulding of components and assemblies as well as in the development of customized solutions.

The new Y-Circ M12 D4 field assembly from Yamaichi Electronics is the smallest field assembly connector available on the market.

In industry and transport, M12 connectors are used for sensor/actor wiring as well as for bus systems. Short time-to-market requirements and high cost pressure make it necessary to build systems quickly, flexibly and reliably.
