Overmoulded connectors with snap termination can be quickly and easily plugged onto sockets, sensors and actuators without any further work steps or tools.

Progressively decentralized automation, keyword industry 4.0, requires flexible and individual wiring in certain areas directly in the field and at the machine. The constantly growing number of sensors for monitoring operating and machine conditions also necessitates the use of field-attachable connector variants that can be assembled to enable flexible electrical connections directly in the field. CONEC offers various connector families that meet these requirements.

The tool-free field assembly connector of the Y-Con RJ45 series from Yamaichi Electronics bears the name Y-Con Profix-Plug. This quick and easy to assemble RJ45 connector meets the Category 6A requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801 standard and was developed for industrial applications.

The RJ45 series Y-Con from Yamaichi Electronics was developed for the toughest industrial applications and is a flexible, modular, and expandable product line. It meets the requirements of protection ratings IP20, IP67, IP68 and IP69K, among others.

Due to the ever-increasing complexity of machines and systems with a variety of sensors and actuators, there is a need to distribute data to centralized or decentralized enclosures or control cabinets. The overmoulded panel feed-throughs from CONEC can be used, for example, to transfer data from the IP67 world to the IP20 world in the control cabinet.

CONEC offers a D-SUB quick locking system which enables a quick and easy locking and unlocking without additional tools. The system allows a locking even at poorly visible device interfaces due to the audible and tangible "click“. Retrofitting an existing system with quick release hoods is also possible.

In industry and transport, M12 connectors are used for sensor/actor wiring as well as for bus systems. Short time-to-market requirements and high cost pressure make it necessary to build systems quickly, flexibly and reliably.
