Molex
Molex’s Brad fi eld attachable M12 and M8 connectors provide customers with a fl exible solution that meets the requirements of complex machines. These connectors are used to interconnect miniature sensors and actuators found in industrial control applications, and are designed to withstand harsh industrial and weather environments. Applications for these connectors include machine builders, factory automation, commercial vehicles, and more.
Molex connectors drive the shift towards the Smart Factory
Technological advancements over the last decade have introduced a new approach to continuous improvement, enabling results that were unachievable before the establishment of what is now known as Industry 4.0 – a vision made possible by technology convergence.
A central part of the shift towards the Smart Factory is the development of a new generation of sensor chips; such as temperature and pressure sensors. As industries begin to implement more sensors and networks to improve awareness of the maintenance and performance of equipment, Molex is focused on providing existing solutions that increase the collection of data and the amount of interaction within the production process.
Connector families such as Molex’s Brad industrial automation products provide one convenient source for specifying numerous passive interconnect and industrial communication requirements.
The small, compact M8 design makes these connectors well suited for applications requiring a sealed connector in very tight spaces. Nano-Change cordsets, receptacles and pre-wired distribution boxes are available in 3, 4, and 5 pole IEC compliant configurations.
Micro-Change connectors are designed to provide superior quality that ensure reliable connections for control elements in automated equipment. These high-quality connectors allow fast and simple replacement of sensors, encoders, switches and other input and output devices in industrial machinery. Available in multiple confi gurations and designs, the M12 offering provides a complete connectivity solution.
With industrial technology growing faster than ever, creating unlimited new applications, the need for sensors in industrial applications is rapidly increasing. As new innovations continue to enhance effi ciency, Industry 4.0 will continue to revolutionise the way we use existing products.
The progression of the ‘Industrial Internet’ provides an opportunity for Brad sensory products to be installed on machines, increasing the number of IP67 interconnections. The engineers involved in the processes that require variable elements, or industries that require precision placements, can benefi t from the insights generated from the data the machines produce.
