INDUSTRIAL /// M8 / M12 CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Connector System for machine industrial automation and control applications provides a
solution for the increasing needs of sensor connections that safely and reliably ensures the
communication in industrial environments. This connector system also finds 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 Connectivity also oers shielded and un-shielded Cat5e and Cat6A cable assembly variants.
A predefined oering in length of 1, 3, 5 and 10 meters covers a vast range of customer needs on
the market. For rewiring on site a range of field serviceable connectors are provided, allowing
versatile systems to be quickly and easily established. Additional styles are available on request
including alternative mounting arrangements for panel mount connectors and double ended
cable assemblies.
TE’s industrial Communications
products are widespread
throughout today’s networked
factories, and play a critical role
in driving the eciency of many
manufacturing processes. Used
extensively in material handling
equipment, our industrial
communications solutions
are also found throughout
the automotive and food and
beverage industries, as well
as in the many manufacturing
applications of industrial robots.
With the development of smaller
industrial Ethernet products,
TE’s solutions are also ideal
for vision systems, common in
security equipment and mail
sortation devices.
