6-signal #splitter of small dimensions

Splitter for several #actuators / #sensors, M8, M12 connectors, plugs or sockets.
Application: When there are many sensors and solenoid valves in small space.
For example the head of industrial #robot.
Each 8-pole M12 connector can drive from 1 up to 6 connectors M8.
Advantages:

• Reduces weight
• Reduces dimensions
• Very quick assembling
• Reduces inventory codes
• Easier maintenance
• Possible customizations
• Spiral cables are available as well

  

  Up to 6-signal splitter, spiral or straight cable

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

#IEC 60335-1 #Certification for Household Appliances

Shield valves connectors can be supplied with certification
IEC 60335-1 – #household appliances
IEC 60695-2-12 and IEC 60695-2-13 glow wire test

These connectors conforms to IEC 60335-1

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.
