July 2026 Tool-Less Connector Technology from Mencom
OAKWOOD, GA — Modern in- dustrial facilities are wiring more connections into less space, under tighter schedules, and of- ten with workforces that can’t pause for specialized tooling training. Crimp termination has served the industry well, but it introduces process overhead such as tools, calibration, op- erator skill, and the risk of er- rors whenever one of those variables slips. The AXYR® series, a
spring push-in termination technology for rectangular connectors, is engineered to bridge that gap. The concept is simple: insert solid or strand- ed wires directly into the ter- minal, and the spring clamp
automatically secures the con- nection. No specialized skill. No secondary verification step. Tool-less termination is not
new, but it has traditionally come at the expense of contact density. The AXYR is designed to
match the density of crimp con- tacts within the same connector housing footprint — an impor- tant distinction for engineers working within fixed enclosure dimensions. The technology supports
rigid and stranded conductors, prepared (ferrule-terminated) and unprepared wires, within a single contact design. One contact size covers the full cross-sectional range support- ed by the series. Connections are also rewirable, which re- duces the cost and time impact of wiring changes during com- missioning or maintenance. The AXYR contacts are

binder: Knurled and Hexagonal Coupling Rings
CAMARILLO, CA — M12 con- nectors play a critical role in modern automation systems, en- suring reliable transmission of signals, data, and power. As de- mands for safe, consistent, and high-quality field assembly con- tinue to grow, binder is respond- ing with a thoughtful design up- grade: molded, shielded M12 connectors will now feature cou-

pling rings that combine knurled surfaces with a hexagonal shape. Compared to previous de-
signs, the new geometry enables assembly using tools such as torque wrenches for the first time. This allows users to achieve controlled tightening and benefit from increased process reliability as well as con- sistently high assembly quality, particularly in applications where defined torque is critical. This design update directly
reflects market demand: in many industrial environments, stan- dardized and traceable assembly processes are becoming essen- tial. By integrating a hexagonal feature, the connectors can now be tightened in a controlled man- ner, meeting common industrial specifications. At the same time, binder en-
hances consistency across its portfolio. While the combination of knurling and hexagon is al- ready established for unshielded versions, it is now extended to shielded M12 connectors. The re- sult is a uniform design across
different variants. Contact: binder USA, 3903
