The CONEC connector series IP67 RJ45 with bayonet locking is now completely available with Cat 6A performance (data rates up to 10 Gbit/s). The portfolio now also includes inline adapters and modules with PCB for connecting free lines with Cat 6A.

CONEC has expanded its portfolio of M12 connectors to include the series of L-coded variants.

For more than 40 years CONEC has been developing and producing high-quality connectors and connecting cables as well as housing technology. In this article we present some connectors for automation.

CONEC presents D-coded M8x1 connectors that meet the IEC standard 61076-2-114 for data transmission via Industrial Ethernet. The pole pattern is based on the M12x1 D coding and prevents mating with all other M8x1 codings on the market.

Yamaichi Electronics is growing: Today, the company is laying the foundation stone for a new production site in the Markendorf business park in Frankfurt / Oder. The building in the Müllroser Chaussee will offer modern working environments for production, logistics and office space on around 7,000 square meters. For concept design, planning and building the new location, Yamaichi Electronics relies on Vollack, the expert in methodic building design.

Small sizes despite high power requirements for the supply of field devices and reliable data transmission: The new CONEC M12x1 two-part sockets with an O‑ring integrated on the insulation body meet the requirements of machine and motor construction.

With the new series of P-coded M8x1 connectors, CONEC supports the EtherCAT-P single-cable solution developed by Beckhoff and the associated ETG (EtherCAT‑Technologie Group).

The trend towards digitalisation in industry requires new solutions, this also applies for components that were previously purely electromechanical in nature. Because without a powerful, comprehensive infrastructure, digitalisation hits its limits fast. The infrastructure includes plug-in connectors and cables whose significance is set to rise and for example will be reflected in intelligent plug-in connectors. Weidmüller is presenting a demonstrator for an intelligent connector for the first...

The CONEC SnapLock versions of the D‑SUB hoods are suitable for applications requiring high vibration and shock resistance.

The new FPC/FFC test sockets from Yamaichi Electronics are developed and qualified in Munich and produced in its own production site in Frankfurt (Oder). This guarantees the fast implementation of all individual requirements. The high level of vertical integration enables top quality with short lead times.

Increasingly, classic control cabinet applications are installed in the field and equipped with communicative components. This increases the complexity and quantity of the cabling. Prefabricated and tested cables enable time savings of up to 75 percent and simplify installation in difficult plant conditions. To cater for these requirements, Weidmüller offers high-quality plug-and-produce solutions for IP20 and IP6x environments.

The increasingly decentralized automation requires flexible and individual wiring in certain areas directly in the field and at the machine with field-terminable connectors in various connection technologies.

Kontron's rackmount systems are designed and tested for challenging environments, and are therefore the perfect fit for extreme temperature and mechanical stress conditions.

Yamaichi Electronics highlights three push-pull connectors for future-proof industrial applications. The three connectors are manufactured in Frankfurt/Oder.

Hybrid plug-in connectors save space and are easier to install. When they are designed and used correctly their EMC properties are just as good as dedicated cables. Circular connectors have already become established on the motors side. Weidmüller has developed the OMNIMATE® hybrid plug-in connector for single-cable interfaces on drives in the control cabinet. The article describes the technical background, and the considerations that went into the design.

Weidmüller OMNIMATE® Power BUF 10.16 provides a safer and more efficient device connection for power electronics. The PUSH-IN connection technology and the wire-ready function speed up conductor connection.

Yamaichi Electronics now also offers the Y-Circ P series with overmoulded bent relief. This prevents unwanted unscrewing of the connector without the need for gluing.
