One-cable hybrid connectors for greater flexibility and efficiency in plant and mechanical
Engineering | soon to be standardised in accordance with IEC 61076-2-118
Conventional cabling of electric motors, servo drives or linear units is often very complex. Separate cables are used for power, data and signal transmission for different tasks. This wiring concept is not only expensive, but also difficult to maintain. It also takes up a lot of space. Increasing cost pressure and the miniaturisation of end devices make new solutions for more efficient cabling just as necessary as constantly increasing data volumes and high transmission speeds.
CONEC Hybrid Connectors combine power supply and data transmission in one connector.
One connector instead of two or three, shorter assembly times, no cable tangle, lower weight on the end device (e.g. motor), high modularity – these are the convincing arguments in favour of the CONEC connector series
Different sizes (B12, B17, B23, B40) for different performance classes of drives or devices offer maximum flexibility. Whether it is a small DC drive or a powerful servo drive, CONEC Hybrid Connectors provide solutions for many fields of application.
In addition, CONEC Hybrid Connectors are among the first products to comply with the future IEC 61076-2-118 standard. The standard is expected to be published at the end of 2024.
4-pole centrepiece | 3 data module variants | High modularity
The four sizes of CONEC Hybrid Connectors all have the same centrepiece: a separately shielded, 4-pin data element for transmitting Industrial Ethernet.
In addition to the 4-pole data element with Ethernet/Ethercat protocol, it is also possible to equip the data element as a blind module – for use as a pure power connector or with a 2-pole insert for 2-wire BUS protocols.
All CONEC Hybrid Connectors are locked with a bayonet quick-release fastener, eliminating the need for time-consuming tightening using a torque spanner.
In addition to the tamper-proof overmoulded connector variants as a single ended or connecting cable, all connectors are also available as field attachable variants for applications in which pre-assembled cables cannot be used.
The product range is completed by 7 different receptacle variants.
