Interconnect range handles harsh environments

TE’s portfolio includes M8/M12 connectors, ARISO contactless connectivity, Heavy Duty Connectors, industrial RJ45, circular connectors, terminal blocks, relays, Dynamic series, Motorman hybrid connectors and more.

These products can be applied to a wide range of industries including industrial automation and production equipment, data communication systems, energy and robotics.

“The factories of tomorrow require high-performance production processes in which cutting-edge robotic systems provide flexibility, reliability, precision and energy efficiency,” said Sean Mak, Head of Supplier Management – Connectors, at Farnell element14. “Engineers can easily access our TE pages to quickly review and select the TE solutions they want for industrial automation applications.”

State-of-the-art industrial robots are required for industrial production applications in logistics and metal or plastics processing to handle complex tasks where flexibility, productivity and efficiency are needed.

The distributor is offering more than 7,000 passive components including high frequency inductors, trimmer potentiometers, chip SMD resistors, through hole resistors, and more and over 390 high-speed connectors are to support the moving parts and electronic components for robots performing in harsh environments for industrial automation and control; including circular, fibre optic, PCB, modular and rectangular power connectors.

TE’s ARISO Contactless Connectivity platform ensures the reliable delivery of power, data and signal in harsh environments, with the added advantages of design and connection flexibility - e.g. on the fly, rotation, unlimited mating cycles - reliability and cost savings due to reduced maintenance and improved uptime. 

The platform can be used in a variety of applications including printing drums, milling machines, injection moulding, centrifuges, wafer production, rotary tables and robotic tool changers.

A broad range of relays includes automotive, power, safety and signal, in addition to accessories such as sockets and clips
