Connectors & cables
FLEXIBLE TO CONFIGURE W
ith the new M8 flange connectors featuring a solder connection, binder is expanding its already extensive portfolio with another variant for customised connection solutions. These robust, space-saving connectors offer users maximum flexibility during cable assembly – ideal for applications requiring customer-specific cable lengths or manual production in small series.
EXPANDING THE PROVEN M8 PORTFOLIO
binder already offers M8 flange connectors in various connection types – including dip-solder, wire and cable versions. With the new solder- connection design, users now gain additional options for configuring their connectors individually and according to specific requirements. Particularly in automation and robotics, where compact designs and flexible signal transmission are essential, the new connectors prove to be a versatile solution. The flange connectors with solder connection enable simple, manual wiring – for example in
customised builds, small production batches or repairs. They are ideally suited for applications where standard cables are insufficient or where customer-specific cable lengths are required. Despite their compact dimensions, they ensure reliable signal transmission and are fully compatible with existing M8 interfaces.
WHEN SPACE IS TIGHT: M8 FLANGE CONNECTORS FOR DEMANDING INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENTS Typical areas of use include automation and conveyor technology, sensor/actuator cabling as well as measurement and testing systems. Even in robotic systems with limited installation space, M8 flange connectors provide an efficient solution for precise signal transmission.
WHY THE NEW M8 PERFORMS RELIABLY EVEN UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS As with all binder products, the new M8 variants undergo extensive laboratory testing. The flange components with solder bucket meet all
requirements regarding quality and mechanical load capacity and thus stand for high reliability. “Continuously expanding and improving our connector portfolio is important to us. Responding to customer needs is a key part of this. Due to increasing demand, we have developed an M8 solution with solder buckets for the relevant applications,” explains Guido Werner, product manager at binder. “Visitors can meet our product managers at trade fairs and experience the product quality ‘Made in Germany’ first-hand,” adds the responsible product manager.
FLEXIBILITY IN FOCUS: A CONNECTOR THAT ADAPTS TO ANY TASK
With the new M8 flange connectors featuring solder connection, binder offers a practical expansion of its portfolio. Users benefit from flexible assembly options, a compact design and reliable signal transmission – ideal for modern, customisable automation solutions.

ODU ADDS NEW HALF-RACK COMPACT CLASS TO ITS PROVEN BLACK-LINE MASS INTERCONNECT RANGE
he existing variants of the ODU-MAC Black-Line offer up to 4,608 signal points, making them real heavyweights in test and measurement. However, not every customer needs this, hence the new Compact Class. The Compact Class requires only half the width of a classic 19 inch test cabinet. It offers up to up to 1,536 signal points. Characterised by its user-friendliness, the mechanical coding prevents the receiver from mismating and, thanks to condition monitoring by means of a microswitch,it is possible to determine whether the docking process has been completed – making testing processes more convenient and safer.
There are three options to choose for the receiver:
Housing Option – enables ergonomic handling and reliable locking by hand lever
ITA (Interchangeable Test Adapter) Option – easily integrate common test equipment
Connector Option – with ODU-MAC Rapid connectors.
There is also a 600A power block with two 16 mm Lamtac Flex contacts.
The ODU-MAC Black-Line Compact Class – setting new standards for powerful, flexible and space-saving test solutions.
