New series of circular connectors introduced by Harting
1 min read
Electronic connectors and network components manufacturer Harting has expanded its range of M12 circular connectors to include field installable versions with larger cross sections as well as new receptacles for 10Gbit/s data transmission.
The field installable versions are based on the company's HARAX rapid termination technology and include the M12-XL for wire cross sections bigger than 0.5mm² as well as a 5pin version for a maximum cross section of 1.0mm². This means that cable cross sections up to 1mm² and cables with an outer diameter up to 9.6mm can be connected.
Also new to the M12 series are angled and straight har speed M12 receptacles for device integration in the 10Gbit/s data communications environment. The mating face in these devices has been designed to comply with PAS IEC61076-1-109 and satisfy the requirements of this standard on parameters such as NEXT, FEXT, return loss and insertion loss.
The new M12 mating face features an integrated shielding cross (x-coded) that is designed to protect against incorrect insertion with other coding systems while also shielding the cable strands, and consequently the signals, from one another. The materials have been selected to allow reflow soldering for the receptacles.
