binder has added field-wireable male and female cable connectors to its M5 range. The circular connectors can be assembled after the cable has been routed and cut to length, which is useful in tight spaces such as robot grippers, sensor boxes and camera assemblies.
The male connector is approximately 41 mm long and the female version is approximately 38 mm. Both provide 360° shielding and IP67 protection. During assembly, the cable shield folds around a shielding ring, the individual wires are soldered and the pressing screw is tightened by hand.
“The field-wireable M5 connector gives our customers the flexibility they need on site,” said Guido Werner, product manager at binder. The connectors comply with DIN EN 61076-2-105 and, according to binder, mate with its existing M5 range.
The A-coded variants have three or four gold-plated contacts and accept cables from 2.5 mm to 4 mm in diameter. They are rated at 1 A and 60 V, with an operating temperature range of −25 °C to +85 °C. binder says all four variants are available immediately.
