CONEC M8x1 connector series EtherCAT P enables cost-effective device connection

EtherCAT P is a further development of the globally established and standardised EtherCAT technology. EtherCAT communication, which has been known up to now and is based on Ethernet transmission technology, is characterised in particular by its fast transmission speed (real-time Ethernet). The wiring technology is implemented with a 4-pole shielded M8x1 connector and a standard Ethernet cable, the power supply by a separate cable.

WECO realises customer-specific developments on request and guarantees fast and flexible project implementation. The first step in such a project is to draw up a specification sheet in which all relevant information is collected. In addition to the dimensions, this includes, for example, loads such as voltage, current strength, or mechanical stress as well as the resulting heating, possible environmental influences such as temperature, the effect of gases or liquids and much more.

For more than 40 years, CONEC Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH has been developing, producing and marketing high-quality connectors, patch cable and single ended cable as well as enclosure technology. Since 1985, CONEC has been one of the leading suppliers of connectors with integrated filters.

Habia focuses on cross-sector industrial solutions

Habia, the global sup­plier of cus­tom high-per­for­mance ca­bles, har­nesses and ser­vices, has ex­panded its prod­uct of­fer­ing and mar­ket cov­er­age through the merger of HEW-KABEL and Habia Cable. In 2024, Habia's con­nec­tiv­ity so­lu­tions will serve as key com­po­nents for life-sav­ing med­ical ther­a­pies, fos­sil-free power gen­er­a­tion, ad­vanced de­fence and se­cu­rity tech­nolo­gies, and zero-emis­sion cars and air­craft, among oth­ers.

Greater flexibility and efficiency in plant and mechanical engineering

Conec offers Hybrid Connectors for almost every performance class in the four sizes B12, B17, B23 and B40. CONEC Hybrid Connectors will soon be standardised in accordance with IEC 61076-2-118.

Flexible electronic components from WECO withstand extreme environmental conditions

Gravel roads in the desert, icy tracks in the Arctic or extreme weather conditions in the tropics – commercial vehicles have to be tough. This is especially true of the electronics installed in the new generation of power packs. Surface mount technology (SMT) with floating elements.

CONEC develops, produces and markets high-quality connectors, connecting cables and single ended cables as well as enclosure technology. For over 40 years, CONEC products have been proven in automation, telecommunications and energy technology, machine manufacturing, agriculture and medical technology, transportation and the aviation industry. One of its strengths is the integrated moulding of components and assemblies and the development of customized solutions.

CONEC SnapLock is the ideal solution for anyone looking for a D-SUB quick-locking system with fast locking and unlocking without additional tools, which also enables locking with an audible and tangible "click", even at poorly visible device interfaces.

New connectors for industry

In Product News 2024, CONEC provides an overview of new products from the product groups M8 duo splitters, M8/M12 connectors, socket connectors with bayonet locking, insulation body/housing, and hybrid connectors/receptables. In addition to a variety of connectors for all current standards, CONEC's particular strengths are the integrated moulding of components and assemblies and the development of customized solutions.

Overmoulded AT connectors from CONEC are suitable for customized control of work machinery and trailers even under harsh environmental conditions

Vehicles used in forestry, agriculture, and waste management, their trailers and construction machinery are constantly exposed to changing weather conditions, rain, and sometimes heavy contamination. At the same time, the degree of automation is increasing and with it the need to equip machines with sensors and other electrical components.

High-Temperature Resistant Flexible Printed Circuit Board YFLEX

The YFLEX flexible printed circuit board from Yamaichi Electronics is now also available as a high-heat resistant version for extreme environments. This innovative FPC was developed to meet the requirements in areas such as automotive, semiconductor manufacturing and test and measurement technology.

WECO terminal block series 150-B-111/03 & 145-A-511/03 ensure stable transmission of higher currents in meters

WECO Contact GmbH, manufacturer of connection elements for the electronics and electrical engineering sector, has entered into a new far-reaching cooperation with eBZ GmbH from Bielefeld. The specialist for modern measuring equipment manufactures electronic basic meters with open interfaces and equips households throughout Germany with new digital electricity meters.

There are good reasons to rely on connectors that deviate from the standard. Customised solutions help to avoid mistakes and implement unusual ideas. Contrary to some prejudices, the production of customised connectors at WECO is neither lengthy nor expensive.

CONEC M12x1 connectors field attachable, angled, 360° shielded, A-, B- und D-coded

M12 connectors are used in industry and transport for sensor and actuator cabling as well as for bus systems. It is important to use reliable, flexible, and robust components.

Robust interfaces are required to meet the increasing demands of battery management and cell contacting systems in e-mobility. Yamaichi Electronics is now expanding its Y-Lock connector system to include version 4 with Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and integrated contact protection.

Turck is shifting the condition monitoring of the cabling directly to the plug connector

Defective cabling and contact problems can lead to expensive plant downtimes and unscheduled maintenance work – and are one of the most frequent causes of faults. Turck's smart M12Plus connectors now provide a solution and enable the condition monitoring of cables and contacts by measuring current and voltage. Error sources can be identified and localized as each plug connector is assigned a unique address.

Waterproof push-pull connectors are suitable for harsh environments in mechanical engineering as well as for use in medical technology. Yamaichi Electronics has introduced a compact concept designed for up to 5,000 mating cycles. Easy assembly and increased reliability characterise this T series, which enables data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s under harsh conditions.

In order to save time and thus costs, ease of maintenance and speed of installation are playing an increasingly important role in industrial cabling. Overmoulded connectors with snap termination can be quickly and easily plugged onto sockets, sensors and actuators without any further work steps or tools.

Conec M12x1 two-part angled PCB socket connectors allow flexible connector solutions in assembly and production lines.

Due to their very small design and the one-piece zinc die-cast housing, the P67 D-SUB CONEC SlimCon connectors are ideally designed for industrial and harsh environments where not much installation space is available. Compared to an IP67 protected connector with an extended sealing frame, a reduction of the occupied area of up to 52 percent is achieved.

Think green – act responsibly on electrical connectivity solutions. Generating renewable energy is supposed to make an important contribution to limiting climate change. But it is not enough to focus solely on the production of "green electricity”. In this segment, too, it is important to use resources sparingly and promote sustainability. Examples from WECO show how it can be done.

CONEC junction system typ S, M, L withstands the toughest conditions - Miniaturisation in automation means that field devices and controllers are becoming smaller and smaller. The CONEC junction system provides a flexible way to integrate moulded branches and outlets in electrical connection lines such as e. g. cable harnesses. This ensures that the continuous lead sheathing retains its full functional integrity even at the splice site of the junction system.

Individual Configuration of Push-Pull and M12 Circular Connectors. With the Online Configurator, Yamaichi offers a fast and convenient tool to configure Y-Circ connectors according to individual requirements. Since recently Yamaichi Electronics offers this service also for the popular M12 series Y-Circ M.
