Single pair Ethernet IP20 Connectors for industrial applications

03-09-2021 | TTI Europe | Connectors, Switches & EMECH

The Amphenol ICC Single Pair Ethernet IP20 connectors for Industrial applications bring direct Ethernet connectivity to peripheral devices such as actuators, sensors, and vision system cameras that operate at speeds up to 1Gb/s. These devices are available now from TTI Europe.

The connectors remove slow, expensive, and complex fieldbus protocols and connections by simplifying and standardising existing and new industrial network systems. Robust right angle and vertical PCB mount jacks mate to field terminable plugs, offering a complete shielded interface with metal latching features. Current handling up to 4A supports PoDL capability up to 1km.

The connectors are fully compatible with IEC 63171-6 interconnects from other authorised vendors. The single pair cable reduces cost, weight and space requirements compared to two and four pair cabling. The connectors offer mechanically robust and secure latching with 360-degree shielding for excellent performance in harsh environments. Field terminable IDC plugs provide installation flexibility, and the connector eliminates the requirement for costly protocol conversion gateways.

Typical areas of use include data, medical, industrial and instrumentation, and automotive applications.
