MQ 15 CONNECTORS: A STANDARD AND ITS SUCCESS STORY
Capable of supplying power quickly and safely to motors
or frequency converters, Murrelektronik's innovative connection system reduces assembly time by up to 80%
S
ystem designers are increasingly opting for MQ 15 connectors to supply power quickly, cost-effectively and safely to
asynchronous or three-phase motors up to 7.5 kW, or to frequency converters. The standardisation of the pin assignments for AC and DC applications in accordance with the international standard IEC 61076-2-116, and the resulting guaranteed manufacturer-independent compatibility, have further boosted this trend. Meeting demands, Murrelektronik’s innovative and fast connection system reduces assembly time by up to 80%, while the connection is sealed to IP67.
MQ15 CONNECTORS As with the increasingly popular decentralised system solutions for automation without control cabinets, Murrelektronik is also a forerunner in this field. This is because the MQ 15 connectors fit perfectly with the company’s DNA: to make industrial automation as simple, seamless and cost-efficient as possible with smart solutions. Of further benefit, the MQ 15 connectors
transmit high currents in the smallest of spaces, making them perfect for systems where space is limited.
So, Murrelektronik states, instead of always
relying on expensive M23 connectors – and thus incurring unnecessary costs in some cases without any meaningful benefit – it has also
“A quarter turn, an audible and
perceptible ‘CLICK’ to indicate a successful
connection – and the power is flowing”
developed an extensive series of MQ 15 connectors that can cover a wide range of applications with power transmission values of up to 16A continuous load at a voltage of 600V for AC applications; and 20A at a voltage of 48V for DC applications. This is all over the world, thanks to CE certification and UL approval.
SUPERIOR QUALITY Murrelektronik’s MQ 15 connectors also have a number of technical features that make life easier for customers. For example, the innovative quick-release system reduces the time required for installation, service and maintenance by up to 80%. A quarter turn, an audible and perceptible ‘CLICK’ to indicate a successful connection – and the power is flowing, the company explains. The connection is dust- and splashproof to IP67, as well as shock and vibration resistant, making it fully suitable for industrial use, even in harsh conditions. Furthermore, the hard silver-plated contacts guarantee long life (up to 500 mating cycles). Another important quality feature is the full PUR overmoulding of the ready-to-connect cables. Murrelektronik also uses high-performance
plastics instead of expensive metal parts – this is why the MQ 15 connectors have the best price-performance ratio on the market, the company continues. So why not choose MQ 15 connectors in the future!
