An angled solution is now also available for the miniature NCC 770 series – featuring variable direction of the cable outlet.
These compact angled connectors are used in device, building, and plant engineering, particularly where secure electrical connections need to be established in confined spaces. The angled versions of the 720/770 series with snap-in or bayonet locking provide a reliable and space-saving alternative to the straight versions.
In the case of the 720 snap-in series connectors, the electrical connection is fixed mechanically by snap hooks engaging in an appropriate slot, locking the interface. However, this type of locking is susceptible to incorrect handling because if the connector is pulled off at an angle to its axis rather than axially, this can destroy the plastic snap hooks, depending on the amount and direction of the pulling force.
So, to prevent this application fault a threaded ring between the contact body and the angled housing has been inserted, so that even when force is applied at an angle to the connector axis, the snap hooks will be protected against damage and the connectors can withstand loads far more than the standard requirements.
By means of the additional threaded ring, binder can also offer the 770 series as an angle variant using many identical parts; while the contact body can now be rotated in steps of 90° allowing the user to choose the direction of cable outlet, which considerably simplifies cable assembly.
The new angled versions of the 720 snap-in series are specified for rated voltages from 60 V to 250 V, and currents from 2 A to 7 A. For the 3- to 12-pin interfaces, cable termination is achieved by soldering. They comply with protection degree IP67 (mated) and can withstand more than 500 mating cycles.
The 8-pin interfaces are also equipped with solder terminals; rated voltage and current are 175 V and 2 A, respectively. In addition to IP67 when mated, the female panel mount connectors also achieve IP67 protection when unmated thanks to binder's NCC technology.
The connectors have been designed to withstand more than 5,000 mating cycles.
