Easy locking connector cannot be mismatched

Binder has announced an easy locking connector system (ELC). Designed for a broad variety of applications in the critical medical system areas, the ELC series 570 has an intuitive locking system to ensure positive mating and mis-mating is prevented thanks to a mating position defined by the 'shape' of the mating area. The new connector features a PA66 plastic housing, has 12 gold plated contacts for 0.25mm² wires and is rated at 2A, 150V. The company has designed the connector to be good for more than 5000 mating cycles which is sure to satisfy the operating requirements of most applications across the medical sector. The female panel mount connector protects against the ingress of liquids, water splash and accidental electrical contact and, when mated, the new easy locking connector offers protection to IP54.
