Binder has introduced a new line of moulded M16 connectors that cater to a wide array of applications.
The versatility of M16 circular connectors spans from heavy-duty machinery, such as construction cranes and excavators, to precision laboratory instruments. The requirements for these moulded connectors are as diverse as their applications; they must provide reliable and stable connections even in freezing temperatures and under persistent exposure to dirt and dust. Consequently, these connectors are designed to deliver not only superior electrical performance but also exceptional durability and reliability in the most challenging environments. To address these needs, binder has engineered a new generation of moulded M16 connectors.
In the redesign of the M16 moulded connectors, significant emphasis was placed on their use in industrial machinery, camera systems, and pressure sensors. These sectors demand the highest level of electrical reliability, necessitating a robust connector system capable of operating under adverse conditions.
Sebastian Ader, Product Manager at binder, notes, “Applications involving cranes and excavators exemplify this need. Fixed plug connections are essential, particularly during critical operations like lifting heavy loads, where it is crucial that the connectors not only secure firmly but are also user-friendly and quick to engage.”
The innovative triangular design of the new M16 connectors enhances usability, even in sub-zero temperatures or while wearing gloves. Ader adds, “This triangular configuration not only facilitates easier handling but also reduces areas prone to dirt accumulation and undercuts, allowing for reliable use in extremely harsh and demanding conditions. The connectors can be mated, unmated, and locked securely at any time.”
Thus, the moulded M16 connectors fulfill stringent requirements for shock resistance, vibration tolerance, and sealing. In conclusion, their robust design guarantees a dependable connection in extreme temperatures, dirt, and moisture, thereby minimizing the risk of failure and ensuring the machines remain operationally ready.
