New M12 crimp connector for reliable field assembly of Drive-Cliq systems

Provertha has introduced a new 360 degree EMI/RFI M12 crimp connector for reliable field assembly of Drive-Cliq systems with an IP67 protection degree (screw locked). The new M12 cable connectors are built according to IEC 61076-2-101 and provide fail-safe Drive-Cliq connection and secure data transmission. This is achieved by a secure contact of the signal wires due to turned crimp contacts and the safe cable shield contact due a compact full metal housing. At the same time the 360 degree EMI/RFI crimp flange system provides a vibration-resistant cable strain relief. The waterproof housing design ensures protection level IP67 in screw-locked condition as well as high robustness in rough environments. The connectors also support the termination to the VARAN (Versatile Automation Random Access Network) bus. The new 8-pin M12 cable connectors have compact dimensions (53.2mm at a diameter of 16mm) for restricted assembly conditions. The insulators with A coding are according to the Drive-Cliq connection. The wire size is specified with AWG 26 for four signal crimp contacts and AWG 22 for power crimp contacts (2x). The new M12 cable connectors enable a reliable quick and simple assembly by means of crimp snap-in contacts and pre-assembled housing with only a few parts. Due to the contact holder a fail-safe wire termination is ensured, says the company.
