Circular connectors for signals, data and/or power
28 July 2021
Interconnection
Farnell is now delivering Intercontec circular connectors from TE Connectivity – an innovative, plug-and-play connector concept that simplifies modular machine design by offering a wide range of variants including power, signal or data – or all options combined – in one connector, providing a customised solution for specific applications. Applications include drive systems, robotics, automation, packaging, aerospace, food and textile industries.
The connectors feature an innovative 1/8 quick locking system and offer simple, fast and reliable installation into control panels without the need for special tools. Intercontec’s innovative crown clamp allows the EMC shielding mesh to remain uncut. The design enables technicians to easily replace any defective parts without specialised training, minimising potential downtime.
TE Intercontec products are sealed to IP 66/67 when mated, feature a temperature range from -20°C to 130°C and are rated for 500 mating cycles.
The range of Intercontec connectors now available from Farnell include:
•Speedtec 940 power connectors deliver consistent power to drive motors, spindle drives and servo motors, managing high speeds and start-stop stresses with ease. The 6-pin connectors handle voltages up to 630 V and currents up to 200 A in the toughest of environments.
•Speedtec 623 signal connectors are an ideal solution for signal transmission in motor control and for monitoring the functions of complex machines. The 17-pin connector is rated at 125 V (AC/DC) and 7 A. Quick-release and industry-standard M23 threaded versions are available in flange or right-angle mounting.
•Speedtec 723 hybrid (power and signal) 10-pin M23 connectors offer a number of configurations for custom applications and feature a separate shielded data element. Meeting requirements for higher electric strength, the connector may be daisy-chained for non-centrally controlled servo motors up to 850 V d.c. This super-hybrid connector can handle 30 A and a wire cross section up to 4 mm².
