Cost-effective Implement BUS Breakaway Connector (IBBC connector) from Powell Agricultural Solutions
The Implement BUS Breakaway Connector (IBBC) from Powell Agricultural Solutions is a cost effective connector for CAN based implement systems. It fully meets ISO 11783-2 specifications. The standardization makes it possible to connect and power all implements and systems that require ISO BUS communication. The integrated electronics enable the communication with tractors or construction vehicles on a highly intelligent level.
The IBBC connector is a popular choice due to its ease of use during both the production of the tractor and by the operator. The device benefits from two rear connectors for quick and easy assembly. Made of materials that withstand the aggressive liquids and materials used in the agricultural industry, the connector features an innovative design consisting of a die cast aluminium handle and a patented locking latch/release mechanism that holds the mating connector securely in place and ensures optimal performance.
Using this design instead of a typical bayonet-locking pin and ring has many benefits:
- The implement harness connector is easier to line up and push into place.
- Because the handle is of powder-coated aluminium, it will not corrode due to exposure to farm and other chemical substances.
- The handle holds the connector firmly in place, but the latch/release allows the connector to break away in case of mishaps. This breakaway function will successfully perform more times than any comparable product on the market.
