With each new generation, electrical devices are becoming smaller, more powerful and safer to use. The devices have to meet the ever-growing market requirements and within increasingly shorter development cycles. In addition, the digital transformation in industry continues to progress and requires reliable and stable connections for its implementation. All this presents device manufacturers with major challenges that must be solved using the right device connection technology.

In 2014, the collaboration between CONEC and the team of Kamaro‑Engineering began. Kamaro-Engineering e.V. specializes in the development of field robots which enable new, environmentally friendly methods in agriculture.

The new versions of the CONEC valve connectors are mostly used as Y-distributors for the distribution of signals and power, with variable cable lengths and the possibility to assemble different connectors at the cable ends according to customer requirements.

In everyday business, the motto increasingly tends to be: faster, more precise and more cost efficient. Therefore, a continuous value-added process is essential. Weidmüller supports this with an end-to-end, safe and convenient connection solution using PUSH IN connection technology. PUSH IN is the state-of-the-art connection solution that offers maximum efficiency – from planning through to installation and maintenance. The PUSH IN technology makes many tasks in the field of electrical...

For many years, circular 7/8" connectors have been available for the requirements of the American market. In addition to overmoulded cable connectors, the CONEC product portfolio also includes field-attachable-connectors as well as flange connectors with strands or for direct PCB assembly.

For industrial use in harsh environments, connector systems are needed that meet special requirements. The CONEC range includes a wide variety of IP67 D-SUB connectors and corresponding protective hoods.

Faster, more precise and more cost-effective: This motto is becoming increasingly relevant in everyday business and a continuous value-added process is essential. Weidmüller shows what part of the process chain can look like with the Klippon Automated RailAssembler for the fully-automated assembly of terminal blocks.

CONEC has expanded its portfolio of M12 connectors to include the series of L-coded variants.

No matter whether tractors, excavators or heavy construction machinery, the IVCM (Industrial Vehicles and Construction Machines) segment places high demands on connectors. The CONEC overmolded DT valve and VSS Superseal connector series offer optimum protection even in harsh environments such as underground mining, at low temperatures or in dusty, hot conditions.

The CONEC series of connectors with bayonet quick locking system allows safe and quick locking even in areas that are difficult to reach and not visible. With the three-point bayonet locking, it is possible to lock the connection by hand with a 90° turn. You get a direct tactile and acoustic feedback as soon as the connector is locked.

CONEC has expanded its product portfolio of overmolded M12x1 connectors to include versions with colored plastic coupling elements. The connectors are suitable for applications in the industrial, chemical and food sectors as well as in agricultural, construction machinery and municipal technology.

Compact connection solutions are required for maximum flexibility in device development. CONEC therefore offers a comprehensive range of connectors of various sizes and contact layouts for automatic production processes, for example A-, B-, D-, P-, X-coded SMT/THR insulators and socket housings in sizes M8x1/M12x1.

With SNAP IN, Weidmüller is revolutionising connection systems and bringing them to a new level. Flexible, stranded wires without crimped-on wire-end ferrules can be easily inserted into the open connection point.

At the SPS, CONEC presented the new M12x1 connector series with bayonet quick locking. With the three-point bayonet locking, it is possible to lock the connection manually with a 90‑degree turn. Direct tactile and acoustic feedback is provided after the connector is locked.

Yamaichi Electronics has expanded its Y‑Circ M12‑product portfolio with a new field assembly connector for 10‑Gigabit Ethernet applications.

The CONEC connector series IP67 RJ45 with bayonet locking is now completely available with Cat 6A performance (data rates up to 10 Gbit/s). The portfolio now also includes inline adapters and modules with PCB for connecting free lines with Cat 6A.

CONEC has expanded its portfolio of M12 connectors to include the series of L-coded variants.

For more than 40 years CONEC has been developing and producing high-quality connectors and connecting cables as well as housing technology. In this article we present some connectors for automation.

CONEC presents D-coded M8x1 connectors that meet the IEC standard 61076-2-114 for data transmission via Industrial Ethernet. The pole pattern is based on the M12x1 D coding and prevents mating with all other M8x1 codings on the market.

Yamaichi Electronics is growing: Today, the company is laying the foundation stone for a new production site in the Markendorf business park in Frankfurt / Oder. The building in the Müllroser Chaussee will offer modern working environments for production, logistics and office space on around 7,000 square meters. For concept design, planning and building the new location, Yamaichi Electronics relies on Vollack, the expert in methodic building design.

Small sizes despite high power requirements for the supply of field devices and reliable data transmission: The new CONEC M12x1 two-part sockets with an O‑ring integrated on the insulation body meet the requirements of machine and motor construction.

With the new series of P-coded M8x1 connectors, CONEC supports the EtherCAT-P single-cable solution developed by Beckhoff and the associated ETG (EtherCAT‑Technologie Group).

The trend towards digitalisation in industry requires new solutions, this also applies for components that were previously purely electromechanical in nature. Because without a powerful, comprehensive infrastructure, digitalisation hits its limits fast. The infrastructure includes plug-in connectors and cables whose significance is set to rise and for example will be reflected in intelligent plug-in connectors. Weidmüller is presenting a demonstrator for an intelligent connector for the first...

The CONEC SnapLock versions of the D‑SUB hoods are suitable for applications requiring high vibration and shock resistance.
