Right-angled swivel base connectors

23 June 2010 Interconnection

A range of right-angled A3 swivel base connectors are the latest addition to Lapp Kabel’s EPIC LS1 and M23 range of circular connectors.

With a patented top cover that allows for simple mounting without the need of any tools and its ergonomic and compact design, the connectors make assembly straightforward.

For use by machine tool, motion drive and robotics manufacturers, the CIRCON LS1 A3 is suitable for power connections and the CIRCON M23 A3 is for control signals. Both feature a patented swivel base mechanism that integrates a ratchet concept which holds the connector in 15° intervals adjustable over a 330° angle. This swivel mechanism is designed to allow for a clearly defined and constant movement of force, thus preventing any unintentional rotation when mounted on the device.

The EPIC M23 signal connector and LS1 power connectors comply with the requirements of DIN EN 61984, are rated to IP68 and approved to UL, CSA and VDE standards. Both are offered in coupler, connector and panel mount configurations that satisfy simple cable-to-cable and cable-to-machine requirements. They are suitable for control signal transmission and servo drive encoder feedback applications in the plastics, printing, analytical instrument, robotic and machine tool industries and any other industrial or commercial application where a compact, rugged connector is required.

M23 connectors are available in seven housing arrangements that can accommodate three different keying positions. Inserts are offered in a choice of seven contact configurations for mounting male or female, crimp or solder contacts. Common to all arrangements are a rugged nickel-plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and gold-plated electrical contacts. Cable-mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and a built-in SKINTOP gland. They are offered with insert configurations for 6, 7, 8 + 1, 9, 12, 16, and 17 crimp or solder contacts in either clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation. Used in combination, they connect one cable with another (cable coupler) or a cable to fixed wiring in a control enclosure or on a machine, instrument or motor. A colour coding system provides positive identification and visual differentiation in multiple connector installations, while colour coded keying rings ensure correct mating selection in applications where several connectors are mounted in the same location.

LS1 power connectors are available in five housing arrangements and two contact configurations: 5+PE and 3+PE+4. All arrangements feature a rugged nickel-plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and gold-plated electrical contacts. Like the M23 connectors, cable-mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and the SKINTOP gland. For multiple connector installations, colour marking is used to provide positive identification and visual differentiation.
