Connectors specifically for applications where space or weight are at a premium

Smiths Interconnect M12 Connector series, from TTI Europe, has been specifically developed for applications where space or weight are at a premium. The compact and robust design incorporates hyperboloid contacts to provide an unrivalled performance. These connectors are ideal for communication applications, including factory automation, machine tools, drive motors, conveyor systems, robots, handling machines and elevators, and more. They all feature excellent protection against electromagnetic interference through a full 360-degree screen connection. The design features a unique side loading contact retention system that provides positive contact retention and simplifies the assembly process. This simplified approach to contact assembly not only makes the product series very user-friendly but also reduces assembly times. Within a common housing design, the series includes insert options from three to eight ways, with both crimp and solder contact terminations available.
