CONEC develops M12 X-code connectors for industrial data communications
CONEC, a manufacturer of high-quality connectors, has developed the M12x1 X- code connectors for industrial communications applications. Part of the Sensor Actor Line, these rugged connectors are designed for integration within modern automation solutions where universal communication is necessary for connecting a number of different networks within a single system. The M12x1 X-code connectors are designed for transmission technology to CAT6A and 500 MHz/10 gigabit speeds, and are standardized to IEC 61076-2-109 standards. The connectors have four shielded pairs within the small M12 connector frame, and come in standard cable lengths of 1, 2, 5, and 10 meters, and an additional female socket option with PC tails for panel mounting. “Manufactured using industrial-grade materials and machined contacts, the M12x1 X-

illuminated pushbutton family with the launch of a new side-operated, long travel switch designed to suit a wide variety of applications. The TM 81 Fx-RA switch has an actuation force of 400gf and combines a long travel characteristic with true tactile feeling and an audible click. These features are particularly
useful in low ambient light, industrial and noisy environments where operators require positive feedback of successful switch operation. Illuminated by a single or bi-colour LED, the
TM 81 Fx-RA is mechanically stable when installed thanks to integral fixing posts and through-hole-mounting. The new switch features gold- plated contacts and a wide operating temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC. According to knitter- switch, TM 81 Fx-RA switches are suited for use in industrial and medical instrumentation, communications infrastructure applications and in computing and network hardware.
Standard switches are available from a number of distributors throughout Europe.

Molex Incorporated has introduced the Brad Micro-Change M12 Cat6A connector system that has been designed for vision systems and other high-speed data transfer applications in harsh environments. Conforming to TIA and ISO/IEC Cat 6A specifications for high-speed Ethernet signal integrity up to 10Gbps, the high-pin-density Micro-Change connector system features an innovative x-coding cross- shielding design (conforms to IEC 61076-2-109) that enhances performance and transmission reliability in frequency bandwidths up to 500MHz.
The compact, sealed Micro-Change
connector system features a complete 360 degree shielded design using 4-twisted pair construction. When mated, the shielding crosses of the connector and receptacle overlap to achieve optimal signal performance without system noise interference. X-coding alignment enables blind mating and recessed male pins prevent pin damage during mating. The Brad Micro-Change connector system mounts using a standard M12 threaded coupling nut. 26 AWG cable assemblies and corrosion resistant hardware assure optimal reliability in demanding environments. Rugged construction and IP67-rated external and
internal o-ring seals guarantee protection against dust and water.
Designed for video surveillance cameras, telematics, GPS/cameras in automotive and commercial vehicles, and automated control elements, these Brad Micro-Change connectors enable fast and simple replacement of 12 to 18mm sensors, encoders, switches and other I/O devices found in industrial equipment. Available in 2- through 5-, 8- and 12-pole IEC compliant configurations, single- and dual- keyway designs, with straight and 90 degree plugs, versatile Micro-Change connectors are equally suitable for Class 2 applications. The
Micro-Change sealed connection provides EMI/RFI shielding in high-vibration systems, including petrochemical, factory-automation and commercial-vehicle equipment. Receptacles are tooled for both network connectivity in Ethernet and Controller-Area Network (CAN bus) protocols, in addition to passive applications such as discreet and analogue sensor applications. Brad Micro-Change connectors and
receptacles are compatible with numerous Molex cordsets and other harsh-duty products.
