The easy-to-install M8 and M12 connector system offers engineers a reliable and comprehensive solution for a variety of applications, reducing downtime in industrial environments. It provides users with an interface that supports ever-increasing bandwidth demands while meeting data transmission speed requirements of up to 10 Gb/s.
Data cables are available in categories up to Cat6A, and the pre-set lengths of 1, 3, 5, and 10 meters cover a wide range of customer needs. For on-site cabling, a full range of field-repairable connectors is supplied, enabling quick and easy installation of versatile systems. Other styles, including alternative mounting solutions for panel-mount connectors and dual-terminal cable assemblies, can also be ordered.
In response to the growing need for sensor connections in industrial machinery and factory automation, TE's portfolio of M8 and M12 connectors covers all versions of A, B, D, S, T and X codes, which can now be ordered directly in quantities as low as 100 units or even smaller volumes through our distribution channel partners.
The solution includes PCB header connectors, cable assemblies, and I/O boxes, ideal for many harsh indoor and outdoor environments, such as those found in automotive, machine tool, factory automation, and robotics applications.
You can now browse the full range of connectors and assemblies in a new online product catalog that makes finding the part number you need much easier. The catalog can be downloaded free of charge from TE's new website for M8 and M12 connectors: www.te.com/m8m12.
In addition, TE is also offering a comprehensive service solution for customers requiring secure and reliable connections for communication networks in industrial environments. "We've made it easy for customers to find the parts they need: we have a team of experts who understand their M8 and M12 applications, and we've assembled a large stock of various samples in our sample shop," says Van den Brink.
