The Archer Kontrol series, designed for the industrial drive and control market, has also proven highly effective in monitoring and data acquisition equipment. These connectors withstand 20G of vibration and are capable of handling the demanding conditions of automation and machining processes. Their fully enclosed and polarized design resists intense lateral and torsional forces, while surface-mount clamps reduce stress on soldered connections. Blind connections are made easy by generously chamfered front edges, offering up to 0.7 mm of clearance. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contact areas allow these connectors to perform up to 500 connection cycles. With operating temperatures up to 125°C, they represent a safe choice for connecting small and large industrial equipment.
The Archer Kontrol series features 12 to 80 pins and variable connector heights for board spacing from 8 mm to 20 mm. The availability of vertical and horizontal male and female connectors allows for all possible configurations: coplanar between board edges, parallel board-to-board, and right-angle motherboard-to-motherboard. The simple blank connection, along with the right-angle connection, makes these components particularly suitable for backplane connections. They support a current of up to 1.2 A per pin.
The combination of a 3 Gbit/s data transmission speed and robust mechanical construction ensures the long-term integrity of high-speed industrial data. Archer Kontrol helps maintain system responsiveness and minimize downtime so that production lines can continue operating.
