binder announces new 12-Pin circular connector for industrial applications
binder has launched an M8 12-pin circular connector. This product complements the existing M8 series for applications in industrial sensor technology, measurement and control, technology, in camera technology and robotics. The circular connector offers advantages, particularly in terms of miniaturisation, flexibility, and performance.
Modern machines and automation systems are becoming smaller and more powerful. To design devices efficiently, all components, including connectors, must take up as little space as possible. The industry’s demands for compact connectors are driven by several factors, including: space savings, higher packing density, flexibility, modularity, cost efficiency, improved performance and reliability, user-friendliness and ergonomics.
Despite the high number of contacts, the M8 12-pin circular connector remains compact, making it ideal for applications with limited space. The high contact density allows for versatile use in a wide range of industrial applications. With IP67 protection, it is well-suited for harsh industrial environments. The support of C-coding and adaptability to future standards and requirements make it a future-proof solution.
The development of the M8 12-pin circular connector was initiated by specific customer requirements. A major customer demanded a new generation of length measurement systems that can transmit more than eight signals without increasing the compact size of the M8 circular connector.
M8 12-pin connectors are already being used in length measurement systems by leading manufacturers and in laboratory automation for environmental analytics. M8 12-pin connectors are also integrated into industrial cameras from well-known manufacturers.
