Mini Cords

With a higher maximum current than nano M8 and micro M12 cords, these mini cords are often used with automated systems, motors, and pumps. A threaded housing securely mates with other mini connections and won’t shake loose from vibration. They have a standard pole layout and housing thread size to reduce the chance you’ll mis-mate connectors. These cords are unshielded, so they’re best for use where signal interference is not a concern.

When mated, these cords meet IP ratings for protection from dust and temporary submersion.

Thread adapters connect plugs and sockets that both have internal threads.

Caps protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Solenoid Valve Cords

Use these cords with hydraulic and air-powered valves, motors, pumps, and pressure switches. They have a solenoid valve socket on one end and an M12 threaded plug on the other. The ground connection is not included in the number of poles. A power-indicating light on the socket illuminates when the cord has power. All are IP-rated for protection from washdowns and temporary submersion.

Interference-Limiting Outlet Strips

Filters between the outlets on these strips protect computers and other sensitive equipment from external signals that interfere with the equipment’s performance. A circuit breaker prevents damage from current overload and short circuits. Surge suppression protects devices from voltage spikes. The surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced; the higher the number, the better the protection.

Bench-Top Outlet Strips

Mount these outlet strips to a desktop or workbench with the mounting hardware, or set them on a surface. The outlets have internal shutters to prevent the insertion of foreign objects. These outlet strips have a 90° elbow plug that fits flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight. The plug also has an outlet on the back to connect equipment. Use the USB ports to charge mobile devices.

Shielded Panel-Mount Ethernet Cords

Often used in labs, storage facilities, and offices, the shielding blocks low to moderate signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. These cords have a flange on the socket end to mount them in a panel cutout. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher ethernet cable category. All are backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category.

Screw-in cords simply thread into panel cutouts. Use them on panels that are 1.5 mm to 5 mm thick.

Add an optional cap to protect the end of screw-in cords when not in use. Hinged caps open and shut quickly at a fixed angle, so they’re more convenient for frequent access than tethered caps. Tethered caps can open in any direction, letting you access the end of the cord from any angle.

Label holders (sold separately) snap onto the end of the cords.

Harsh Environment Latching Connectors

With One Latching Lever

Rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65, connectors protect against corrosion, washdowns, oil/coolant dripping, and water projected from a nozzle. They have a rubber seal and stainless steel hardware for excellent chemical resistance. Use them to protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely, yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.
