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.

#D-Sub connector, small dimensions, with #IP67 IEC60529 protection

Dsub connector with IP67 protection (EN IEC 60529)

Thanks to an innovative lip gasket, JxLF and JxMF series D-sub female connector family guarantees a high degree of #protection against #water and dust.
Can be mounted on any male connector plug already present on the market.
Terminals are crimped to wires, in this way ensure greater reliability compared to soldered or screwed terminals.
The housing may contain resistors or other electronic components, if requested.
PVC or PUR cable, with or without shielding. Standard wires with DIN 47100 colours.
Connection sockets from 9 to 62-pole, reliable and economic.
Angled or straight versions.

• two, three or more cables may be overmoulded on the connector
• BUS extensions
• BUS backbone chain
• 9-pole, 15-pole, 25-pole, 37-pole, #Profibus, Interbus, #DeviceNet and #CanOpen applications
• stepping motor driver
• small motors 
• servo motor controller
• video camera
• industrial switch
• fieldbus gateway
• PLC, programmable logic controller,
• encoders,
•  etc.

#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.

#Relays are no longer necessary

Do you have an on/off electrovalves application ?
Even if your #electrovalve supplies current over 0.5A,
relays or PLC power boards are no longer necessary.
This female socket connector contains a static relay and
is the right solution to drive high #current #solenoids.
(example: control of power electrovalves, mini-motors, contactors, etc.)
Allows to control power loads up to over 3A, with a small PLC signal.
The socket can connect the electrovalve to distribution box or directly to central cabinet.

Solution: static relay for solenoid valves

Micro Connector, also for #SMC #valve

EN 175301-803 (DIN 43650) type C, micro connector for solenoid valves

#DIN43650 form C #connectors.
The micro connectors with overmoulded cable produced by Shield are now available for all the electrovalves on the market, including SMC valves.
Socket contacts distance: 8 mm or 9.4 mm
PUR connector housing: very good oil resistance, IP67

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.

Alternative #solutions to #Bus: special circuits

Solutions with #distribution #boxes without Bus in many cases may be more advantageous, for example when they have circuits with special connections or when they contain electronic circuits dedicated to specific applications.

Disadvantages of the distribution boxes with Bus:

• complex circuits which require qualified technicians
• higher price
• equipments for control tests are expensive
• generally slower reaction times
• devices like sensors or actuators have different versions for each bus standard on the market: selection and availability are more difficult
• one or more Bus systems can prevail in the future and others may become obsolete: the risk to invest in the choice of a Bus system increases 

Customized distribution box can be alternative or integrative to BUS applications.

Advantages of the distribution boxes with special circuits:

• Modular system: several boxes shapes already available
• It is possible to combine from 2 to 15 female sockets or male plugs on the same box
• It is possible to integrate any electronic circuit: series or parallel connections, AND / OR, special connections with or without components of any type
• If necessary you can also add DIP switches, buttons and electronic displays
• It is possible to include a Push-pull control connector guaranteed for 5000 connections cycles (ODU, LEMO, FISCHER), useful for applications on devices which need to be changed frequently.
