INTERCONNECT


Introducing the MOTORMAN Hybrid Connector from TE Connectivity


Decentral servo motors are widely used in many industries and are typically connected via a deterministic system and power-fed by a separate cable. Recently, motors are becoming increasingly networked via fast Ethernet, which offers the benefits of real-time control. However, this does not solve the nuisance of having dual cabling for signal and power.


TE Connectivity launches the MOTORMAN hybrid connector, which integrates communication, signal and power transmission of locally controlled motors within a compact rectangular connector. Two fast Ethernet sockets offer the full benefits of real-time automation control, while reducing cabling complexity.


rectangular size


TE Connectivity adheres to the compact dimensions of a rectangular connector measuring just 41.5 x 22.3 millimeters. The housing and contact insert are fully downward compatible with TE Connectivity industrial heavy duty connector Q series.


The complete power supply and signal communication fit within the tight limits of the insert area. Using regular contacts, the connector would have measured twice the targeted size. The dense design could only be realized using TE Connectivity’s highly modern MCON system of receptacle contacts.

Usage of TE Connectivity’s MCON intercon- nection system and its stamped contacts


completely from scratch. Its design and assembly strategy follow the requirements of hybrid circular conductors. As cables of this type are stiff due to the wire bundling, shielding and multiple insulations, the housing follows the natural bending geometry of the assembled cable. In contrast to traditional rectangular connectors, the cable does not enter at a right angle but at 100°


instead, in order to ensure


a good match of cable bending radius and housing geometry. This design avoids excessive bending angles at the beginning of the stripped wire section and makes sure that the contacts are positioned straight in their cavity.


cable seal


The cable jacket seal generates two ring shaped lines of compression around the hybrid cable jacket. As the cable is held straight between the two sealing elements, the level of compression is very equally distributed around the jacket


applied benefit


Space savings and less influence on the customer’s complex machine architecture


System integrity and price control for OEMs on the harness


» Fits tough industrial environments » Best economical offer for less critical purposes


Easy and safe configuration due to spacious side access to its interior


All signals are bundled in one interface which means only one cable for the customer


Supports industry standards and fast processes


Advanced technology combined with lowest applied cost as processing can be done on application tooling that guarantees high reproducibility

circumference. The optimized design permits it to assemble cables of between 13 and 17 millimeters diameter with one size of seal. As the seal is held in place by a latching protective cap, the assembly can take place without a torque-controlled tool.
