TE Connectivity offers first pluggable one-cable solution for power, signal and data for small servomotors—the Intercontec M12 Motor Connectors TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, is the first company to offer a 630 V power class connector for small servo motors that provides all-in-one connectivity for power, signal and data. Their Intercontec M12 Motor Connector is a compact, robust metal connector for installations based on one-cable solutions and covers the digital transmission of 2- and 4- wire encoder protocols like Hiperface DSL, BiSS, EnDat 2.2, ACURO link and SCS open link. “As servo motor applications become smaller and smaller, requirements for miniaturization in associated components are growing all the time,” says Siegfried Funk, industry marketing manager at TE Connectivity. “In particular, there is a need for powerful but compact quick-connect safety fasteners. TE is the first company in world to offer an angled, single cable solution in this power class.” With rotatable angled receptacles for flexible mounting, a fast locking system, and IP66/67 protection against dust and water, TE’s M12 Motor Connector enables fast, cost- efficient and reliable termination. The connector’s robust, nickel-plated metal connector provides reliable 360-degree EMC shield connection as well as a protective ground connection. For motor side connections, this makes it possible to dispense with the protective ground contacting in the motor housing while guaranteeing full compliance with all relevant standards. The connection has UL94 V-0 approval, which is the highest flame resistance rating. TE’s M12 Motor Connector is available in a freely field- mountable version. Users can choose from 6-pin (5 + PE) and 8-pin (3 + PE + 4) pole arrangements. TE is also developing a design with a “4.tec” assembly concept that can be processed automatically. This M12 Motor Connector can be used in applications across numerous markets such as robotics, agricultural machines, construction machines, machine tools, material handling, forklifts, industrial and commercial transportation, elevators, wind turbines, food and beverage, chemical equipment, packaging, and more.

Female Power Contacts for 2mm Pitch Connectors Harwin has announced the introduction of a new female contact for its Datamate connectors that enables significant increases in power delivery levels to be realized. Utilizing a unique, proprietary 6-finger design which is machined from a single piece of beryllium copper, the T-Contact raises the current capacity on compact 2mm pitch interconnection systems, with up to 8.5A per contact being supported. As a consequence, it further improves the size, weight and power (SWaP) parameters of the company’s popular Datamate offering, and addresses the growing need for engineers to ramp up the power in modern space-constrained designs. The innovative patented design employed in these components presents more contact points, which thereby enhances their resilience to shock (100G) and vibrational forces (40G for 6 hours – 2 hours on each axis). The crimp barrels accept 22AWG wire and comply with IPC-A-620 cable harnessing specifications. The contacts are also gold plated in order to ensure that reliable performance is maintained in even the most demanding of application environments (allowing US military requirements to be met, etc.). It also means that a far greater number of mating cycles (up to 1000) can be undertaken, thereby extending the operation lifespan of connectors into which they are incorporated. Their operational temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C. The T-Contact exhibits 60% greater contact wipe compared
