In the automation industry, the trend is moving more and more towards a reliable power transmission via compact interfaces. Particularly, the popular M12x1-interface is in focus of the current developments. ESCHA has decided to further extend its comprehensive M12x1-power-product portfolio and add PNO-conform variants with grey contact carriers and grey cables. At the SPS, the five-pole connectivity components with L-coding will be on display as single-ended- and double-ended cord sets as well as receptacles in various versions.
As a supplement to the M12x1-power-connectors and -receptacles, ESCHA also offers matching five-pole M12x1-power-splitters in H-, h- and T-housing styles. These splitters provide an easy decentralized power wiring following the bus wiring. In addition to the five-pole L-coded variants, ESCHA has already had on offer M12x1-power-connectivity with four-pole L-coded as well as S-, T- and K-coded for a long time. All ESCHA M12x1-power-components are dust- and waterproof according to protection classes IP65, IP67 and IP68 in screwed condition. They have been designed in such away meeting the UL2237 requirements. They provide a large extension of power transmission through a connection cross section up to 2.5mm². A big advantage – particularly with direct voltage distribution – is the small voltage drop in contrast to smaller cross sections.
