Interconnect solutions aimed at rugged industrial designs

Amphenol’s new interconnect systems for machine applications combine power and signal into a single connector. These interconnect solutions are designed for demanding environments such as factory automation and industrial robotics.

The C16-3 connectors, for instance, are suitable for rugged environments like motor connections with little or no shielding requirements. They feature multiple mechanical coding options that allow the use of the same connectors beside each other.

Then there are C091 connectors that are available with either a screw or bayonet locking system. They boast robust signal transmission and are targeted at areas such as automation control, test and measurement, medical, sensors, and telecommunications.

Next, Amphenol’s heavy|mate C146 series features stamped contact to facilitate cost-effective wiring. It’s based on two parallel modular systems that enable signal, power, pneumatic, coax, and Ethernet connections on a single connector in an individually customized arrangement. The manufacturer claims to have designed these heavy-duty connectors for harsh industrial environments.
