AUTOMATION & CONTROL /// M8 / M12 CONNECTOR SYSTEM

Connector System for machine industrial automation and control applications provides a solu-

tion that safely and reliably ensures the communication in industrial environments . This connec-

tor system also fi nds applications outside of its traditional industries where a compact reliable

connection system with environmental protection is required . TE’s solution includes an extensive

connector range of PCB headers, cable assemblies and I/O boxes, and provides users with an

interface that supports higher bandwidth needs – meeting the requirements of up to 10Gb/s .

TE’s broad product portfolio provides customers with shielded and unshielded cable assembly

options in both Cat5e and Cat6A cable types . For rewiring on site a range of fi eld serviceable

connectors are provided, allowing versatile systems to be quickly and easily established . Ad-

ditional styles are available on request including alternative mounting arrangements for panel

mount connectors and double ended cable assemblies .

TE’s industrial Ethernet products are

widespread throughout today’s net-

worked factories, and play a critical role

in driving the effi ciency of many manu-

facturing processes. Used extensively in

material handling equipment, our indus-

trial communications solutions are also

found throughout the automotive and

food and beverage industries, as well

as in the many manufacturing applica-

tions of industrial robots. With the de-

velopment of smaller industrial Ethernet

products, TE’s solutions are also ideal

for vision systems, common in security

equipment and mail sortation devices.

TE’S INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET PRODUCTS PLAY A VITAL ROLE

IN FACTORY AUTOMATION

TE’s Industrial Ethernet products are widespread throughout today’s networked factories, and play a critical role in driving the efficiency of many manufacturing processes. Used extensively in material handling equipment, our industrial commu-nications solutions are also found throughout the automotive, food and beverage in-dustries, as well as in the many manufacturing applications of industrial robots. With the development of smaller industrial Ethernet products, TE’s solutions are ideal for vision systems, common in security equipment and mail sortation devices.

CONNECTORS

TE’s M8/M12 connectors continue to fill the ongoing needs for sensor connection in Industrial Machinery and Factory Automation. A connection standard for many years, these products also find applications outside of their traditional industries where a compact reliable connection system with environmental protection is required. TE’s M8/M12 connector portfolio includes a full range of A, B, C, D, S, T and X-coded (up to 10 Gigabit/s) versions to serve various customer and application needs. The connectors are also available in shielded and unshielded versions, to support Gigabyte Ethernet applications.

CABLE ASSEMBLIES

TE’s M8/M12 cable assemblies are available as single-ended or double-ended and as straight or angled versions. Customized cable assemblies provide a solution for your specific needs in different lengths, temperatures or flexibility and can be used in combi-nation with TE’s male/female connectors and I/O Modules.

I/O MODULES

Complementary to the M8/M12 cable as-semblies and connectors, TE offers com-pact I/O modules for Industrial applica-tions. The I/O modules are well accepted in the Industrial Automation industry and provide reduced cabling and increased ease of installation and maintenance.
