EX M12 connectors
19 September 2012
Interconnection
Molex introduced the Brad Ultra-Lock (M12) EX connection system, providing process automation installers a safe, quick connection interface for instrumentation and control devices in potentially explosive and hazardous areas.
As with other Brad Ultra-Lock connectors, the new EX version features patented push-to-lock technology, providing a simple and secure operator-independent connection. In addition, it includes an integral isolating ring that limits access to the release mechanism of the connector, allowing the connector to be pushed on but requiring a screwdriver to disconnect.
Because the connection point is considered non-arcing, it is suitable for use in a Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 classified areas. The connectors include pre-wired moulded connections with polarised positioning on the cordset, providing reliable performance in high-vibration applications and reduced wiring termination errors.
The radial seal offers IP67/IP68/IP69K watertight connections for temporary submersion, making the connectors ideal for environments such as oil refineries, petrochemical complexes, wastewater processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities and food and beverage processing plants.
