CONEC ELEKTRONISCHE BAUELEMENTE GMBH

Special applications have special requirements for connectors. For this field of application, CONEC developed water-tight D-SUB connectors with rating IP67. Owing to special sealing measures at the connector and the sealing frame, the high requirements are met. These connectors are used where dust and spray water occur and functioning of usual connectors would be negatively affected. These connectors are available as standard or high density in the usual pole number.

In industry and transport, M12 connectors are used for sensor / actor wiring as well as for BUS systems. Increasing time pressure due to short time-to-market requirements and high cost pressure make it necessary to build systems quickly, flexibly and reliably. During implementation, easy field attachable connectors play a crucial role. The new CONEC M12 field attachable connector with screw connection offers the appropriate solution and is available in codings A, B, D, and X.

Modern automation solutions need universal communication cabling for the differentnetworks. High speed connectors are demanded in the circuit between the office world and the production level. The M12x1 X-coded connectors have been developed for such applications. These components are designed for transmission technology according to CAT6A and 500 MHz/10 Gigabit, and are standardised to IEC 61076-2-109. The X-coded connectors have 4 shielded pairs, for reliable high speed data transfer, and industrial grade materials for harsh environments, all in the small M12 connector.

The IP67 D-SUB SlimCon series are supplements to the IP67 D-SUB connector family. The CONEC SlimCon series has a very compact design of IP67 sealed D-SUB connectors with a one-piece zinc die-cast shell. The panel cut-out for the CONEC SlimCon series corresponds to the standard of other D-SUB connectors and thus no new cut-outs are required and refitting from standard IP20 systems to the new IP67 system of the CONEC SlimCon series is possible. The one-piece zinc die-cast shell makes the new CONEC SlimCon D-SUB connector a mechanically extremely robust interface with reliable IP67 protection – similar to the CONEC Solid Body series. However, due to its design, a reduction of the occupied space from 48% to 52 % compared to a standard IP67 protected connector can be achieved. Owing to its compact design and the one-piece zinc die-cast shell, the CONEC SlimCon series is ideal for industrial and harsh environments.

The CONEC connector series with bayonet quick locking system allows safe and quick locking even in areas that are difficult to reach and/or 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. The connectors are designed according to the draft standard IEC CD 61076-2-011/Ed1. In order to meet the mechanical requirements with regard to tightness to dust and liquid media in industrial environments, no additional tools are required for the new M12 bayonet version by CONEC. When locked, the requirements of protection degrees IP65, IP67 and IP69K are met. In addition, the new series is shock and vibration resistant according to the railway requirements IEC 61373:2010, class 1B. The CONEC bayonet locking variant thus offers simplified handling and at the same time secure transmission of signals and data to the user.

CONEC Hybrid connectors soon to be certified according to IEC standard 61076-2-118. For conventional wiring of motors, servo-drives or linear units/drives, time and costs for cabling, maintenance and diagnostics are very high. Separate cables from the switch cabinet are used for the power supply and control of every single motor. This procedure does not only require much space, but also causes high costs. With the new CONEC series, a compact hybrid connector system has been developed, combining power supply and data transmission in one single connector. This technology is equivalent to the modern connection and interface wiring technology.

D-SUB Connectors – also known as D-Subminiatur or Sub-D connectors – are used in nearly all application markets, from control and measuring to telecommunications and computer applications. D-SUB connectors take their name from their characteristic D-shaped shell, which protects both sides of the connector from mechanical and electromagnetic interference CONEC D-SUB connectors are available in five standardized housing sizes in the variants D-SUB Standard, D-SUB High Density, D-SUB Filter, D-SUB Combination, D-SUB Filter Combination and D-SUB hoods. The combination of different contact types provides opportunities to save installation space and costs in the interface area. The CONEC Snaplock mounting type is offered as a quick-connect system for common pole numbers. Depending on the mounting type and number of poles, a choice can be made between crimp, wire-wrap, solder pin, solder cup and insulation displacement terminal connection types.

Connector systems able to meet special demands are needed for industrial use in harsh environments. The water resistant connector system developed by CONEC is intended for applications where dust and water are factors. Corresponding accessories, such as water resistant hoods and protective caps are available. CONEC Solid Body and CONEC SlimCon D-SUB connector series were a consequent development to establish a D-SUB connector familiy which is especially designed for application in harsh industrial environment. The one piece body - made of zinc diecast - provides outstanding mechanical robustness and protection against splash water and dust under aggressive conditions.

CONEC SnapLock hoods come with a locking system for quick and easy locking. Time-consuming screwing of the hood to the mating connector is no longer required and thus a long lasting connection is made without losable screws. Due to the audible and tangible “click”, even poorly visible device interfaces can be locked quickly and safely. CONEC SnapLock hoods are available in black or metallised plastic material in shell sizes 1-5. The hoods come with one straight cable entry and depending on the number of poles one or two side cable entries. With an upgrade kit, existing interfaces are also compatible with a CONEC SnapLock hood. The CONEC SnapLock system also allows a hood-to-hood connection.
