Expanded M8/M12 offering
5 March 2008
Interconnection
Erni Electronics is expanding its M8/M12 family of products with a comprehensive selection of accessories, ranging from ready-assembled cord sets, distributors and adapters to components using quick-connect terminal technology.
The company has added cable systems for M8/M12 round connectors to its range of PCB products. These are produced in a variety of modules, pin configurations, cable lengths and cable qualities for cost-effective and optimised automation solutions.
As a completion to the product portfolio, Erni offers cable assemblies for the connection of sensors/actuators and other automation systems devices such as I/O distribution boxes. The standard product range covers pre-assembled, over-moulded circular connectors of sizes M8 and M12 either as interconnection of two circular connectors or as a cord set having an open end of line. In addition, the portfolio comprises field-attachable connectors for tool-less cable termination, T-coupler, panel feed-throughs and adapters for quick and cost-efficient connection in the field.
The variety is extended with different cable qualities that meet the most versatile industrial requirements and therefore are applicable for a wide range of uses. PVC as a competitive and economic solution or PUR (UL/CSA approved), halogen-free and UV resistant, for highly demanding applications in drag chains and harsh environments - where operational reliability is crucial.
Innovative product features like the self-securing screw locking guarantee vibration-proof and secure connection. The coupling nut additionally combines a knurled surface with a spanner flat suitable for standard wrenches. Different configurations, designs and codings are available and all parts meet IP67 requirements to ensure protection against dust and water immersion. The pre-assembled cables use standard-wise two cable qualities in five different lengths. Further options are possible on request.
