With the ongoing decentralization in automation technology, the demand for compact and powerful components is growing. Large machine layouts are increasingly being replaced by space-saving designs that still offer high performance. This also requires connectors to be small, robust, and efficient.
M12 connectors have established themselves as the standard for signal, data, and power transmission. They enable voltages up to 630 V, are easy to install, and can be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of applications.
Thanks to standardized coding (S, T, K, and L), they offer safety and a clear separation of AC and DC applications.
The various M12 series from binder cover numerous areas of application – from motor controls and frequency converters to lighting systems and network technology. This makes them ideal for compact machines and decentralized automation solutions.
7/8" connectors – proven solutions for existing systems
While M12 connectors are used particularly in new systems with limited space, 7/8" connectors remain indispensable in existing systems. They are designed for high voltages and power ratings and, thanks to their robust construction, are ideal for industrial environments with larger components.
They remain important, especially in regions where miniaturization is less advanced. binder thus covers both modern and proven system requirements.
Both connector types meet high quality standards:
- Protection class IP67 or IP68
- UL certification according to UL2237 & UL2238
- Over 100 mating cycles service life
- Temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C
Accessories and adapters for flexible integration
Binder offers an expanded range of accessories and adapters for connecting modern and existing systems. These include redesigned 7/8“ T-distributors in 3-, 4-, and 5-pin versions for easy installation, a compact 5-pin T-distributor with L-coding for DC applications, and adapter solutions between M12 and 7/8” connectors. These enable step-by-step modernization and the development of hybrid system architectures.
All products are available now and offer a reliable, secure connection in a wide range of applications.
