How to prevent #connectivity #mistakes

Shield manufactures distribution boxes with M12 connectors that can have different #mating #keys (IEC 61076-2-101 standard); in this way it is not possible to mount connectors in the wrong position. Moreover, to facilitate the assembly visually, connectors may have different colours as well in addition to the key.
Very useful for maintenance when box is positioned in difficult areas or when a connection mistake could cause delays or damages.

Example of distribution box to prevent assembling mistakes.

#Coloured and/or A-B-C-D-P coded #M12 connectors

M12 - #IEC 61076-2-101 #connectors can be supplied with many different key codings to prevent assembly and maintenance mistakes.
Numbers of poles: from 2 up to 17.
Differently coloured connectors are also available to help easy matching, when plugs and sockets are positioned in difficult places for the operator.

Plugs and sockets to avoid error assembly.

Simplify your #wiring #assembly !

How many hours do you waste organizing your #electrical wiring?
Would it be useful for your #machine to have less spare parts?
How much space could you save reducing the dimension of distribution boxes and cables?
Is the weight of cables and boxes relevant for your application?
Does your wiring assembly require specialized workers?
Plugs, sockets, connectors, distribution boxes, cables, etc. are not a problem anymore.

Distribution box for #electrical #cabinet panel

It can be mounted on the front of an electrical panel or cabinet.

Distribox can have a rear cable or a simple rear terminal block.
In this way, the #distribution #box can be mounted on the front of an electrical panel or cabinet.
Available with M12, M8 connectors, female sockets or male plugs.

Y Splitter, #M12-M12 #connector

Splitter useful to join on the same cable the signals coming from 2 different #sensors or to control 2 #electrovalves.
Solutions with direct cable instead of plug or socket connectors are available as well.
 

Splitter allows to use 1 single cable for 2 sensors or 2 valves.
Variants: each connector could be replaced by a cable,
moreover each connector could be male or female type.

#Receptacles

Examples of receptacles for panel applications

#M8, #M12, #M23, 7/8", male plug or female socket, angled or straight for mounting on panel.
Available with unsheathed or sheathed wires, with soldering or for printed circuit contacts.
