    M12 Connectors

    These connectors run the automated world, from robot arms and photoelectric sensors to PLCs, IO-Link devices, and Ethernet switches. The original metric circular connector, they continue to be the standard today. They screw together tightly to protect against contaminants and hold firm against high vibration. Each one has a coding that indicates a unique keyway, preventing mismated connection errors before they happen. The coding also tells you whether a connector can send power, control, or data. Some can send a combination of the three, reducing the need for multiple connectors.

    M8 Connectors

    Use these compact connectors in spaces where M12 connectors won't fit. They're often used in crowded, high-vibration areas such as robot arms and IO-Link devices with many connections. They also fit on miniature proximity and photoelectric sensors.

    Nano M8/USB Adapter Cords

    These cords have a Nano M8 connector (also known as a pico connector) on one end and a USB-A connector on the other. Use them to connect devices with these connections. The USB connection is backward compatible, so it will work with cords that meet the same or a lower USB standard.

    Simplify wiring and reduce the number of cords in your automation setup. These splitters create a branch off a main cord or connect multiple devices with a mini connection to a single port in a junction box or I/O module. A threaded housing securely mates with other mini connectors to keep out contaminants and won’t come loose from shaking or vibration. They have a standard pole layout and housing thread size to reduce the chance you’ll mis-mate connectors.

    M35 Connectors

    The largest metric circular connectors we offer, yet still more compact than pin and sleeve. These connectors keep robot arms and other high-current machines powered despite the high-vibration of conveyors, motor controls, and sorting systems. They're UL 2237 rated, so they're safe for distributing power to motors and branch circuits.

    Completely sealed and protected from dust and water, these power supplies don't need a separate electrical panel or enclosure. Instead, mount them directly to machine tools, process control equipment, conveyors, and other equipment found in harsh industrial areas. They convert AC voltage to deliver DC power right at the point of need, reducing the need for complex wiring.
    Rated IP67, all of these power supplies are safe for use in dusty, humid, and wet locations, as well as in applications where the power supply may be briefly submerged in water.
    Although sealed in a housing, these power supplies have excellent heat dissipation, so they run reliably even as temperatures rise. They use switching regulation, which means they produce the stated voltage despite fluctuations in your input power and the power being drawn by your system, and they won’t create much heat. Some of these power supplies are also SEMI F47 compliant, which means they meet standards for maintaining output voltage when input voltage dips. This is commonly known as voltage sag immunity.
    If you exceed the maximum voltage or load, these power supplies shut down to protect both the power supply and the connected equipment. They also meet the voltage requirements for use in a SELV (separated extra low voltage) circuit. With various domestic and international certifications, such as UL listing and CE marking, you can be sure they meet stringent safety standards.
    IP66 Enclosure Rating—IP66-rated power supplies can also withstand frequent washdowns.
    Cannot Be Sold to California and Cannot Be Sold to Vermont—Power supplies that cannot be sold to California and Vermont do not meet energy efficiency requirements.
    Output Peak Current—Power supplies with an output peak current briefly boost power above their maximum operating current for starting motors, actuating solenoid valves, and other applications that require a higher starting current than their operating current.
    Maximum Output Noise Peak-to-Peak—Maximum output noise is also known as ripple noise. The lower the value, the less interference the power supply creates. For most applications, a value over 100mVpp isn’t a problem. However, when using to power extremely sensitive electronics, such as audio equipment and high-precision measuring and testing equipment, you’ll want an output noise around 5mVpp or less.
    Power Factor @ Voltage—Power factor shows how effectively a power supply draws AC power from the main electrical supply. The higher the power factor—up to a maximum score of 1—the lower your operating cost.
    Efficiency @ Voltage—Efficiency describes how good a power supply is at converting the AC power it draws from your main electrical supply into DC power. High-efficiency power supplies cost less money to operate and produce less heat, meaning cooler temperatures in your electrical cabinet.
