Connectors' IP69-rating suits harsh environments
FCT electronic, a Molex company, has introduced modular D-Sub mixed-layout connectors and cable assemblies. The D-Sub mixed layout connectors can combine power, signal, RF and pneumatics to accommodate a range of industrial automation applications and up to IP69 sealing is available for harsh environments, where regular wash-downs are required such as in the food and drinks industry.
Depending on the end application, solder, straight PCB or crimp terminations are available. For safe and reliable installation, the necessary insertion and removal tools for the crimp versions are provided. Depending on customer requirements, various plating options are available. Pin connectors are shielded with dimples.
A comprehensive range of accessories including sealing plugs, guide pins, guide plates, hoods, spring locks and slide locks are also available.
Thomas Winderl, Marketing, FCT, Molex, commented: “The mixed layout series is designed modularly. We offer 50 and 75Ω coaxial contacts, high power contacts up to 40A, high voltage contacts up to 3kV and pneumatic contacts with numerous different contact arrangements accommodated according to design requirements.”
