Our new overmolded connectors in Deutsch-DT design are easy to install, immediately usable and withstand extreme environmental conditions.
The agricultural sector and vehicle industry set exceptionally high demands in terms of connectivity. The environmental conditions and every-day loads are particularly challenging. Even in this industry, the trend is moving away from manual assembly to overmolded and immediately usable connectivity. The advantages of this solution are obvious: A reduced error rate as well as faster, more reliable and more cost-effective wiring.
Our new product range in Deutsch-DT design combines all these advantages in one product. In doing so, it does not fall back on prefabricated components, but offers a solution engineered from scratch at ESCHA, in which the self-designed contacts and contact carriers are overmolded in a one-shot process. This avoids long supply chains and ensures high availability.
High variety
At the market launch in Q1 2022, the typical 2-, 4- and 6-pole versions are available in male- and female design. In combination with the ESCHA exclusive PUR cable called «S370» they become real all-rounders. You get single-ended cord sets with open cable ends as well as double-ended cord sets with overmolded connectors in Deutsch-DT design on the B-side. As usual at ESCHA and upon your request, different modification options are possible. For example a threaded grip body for protective hoses or double-ended cord sets with M12-connector on the B-side. In course of the first quarter 2022, additional polarities as well as versions with LED status display and protective circuit will follow.
High safety and clarity
All connectors in Deutsch-DT design meet the high demands of protection class IP67. The molded release tab prevents unintentional disconnection under load and increases safety. An also molded dovetail can be used for installation. With matching original accessories like colored marking rings you can additionally increase clarity in your application.
Complete program for Mobile Automation
Next to the new connectors in Deutsch-DT design we have been offering M12-connectors with plastic locking nuts for a while. Due to their robustness, they offer a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel. They withstand extreme temperatures from -30°C to +90°C, consist of UV stabilizers to not get porous or rough and can easily be removed from containments with pressurised water, mud or oil. Though their unique design they can be tightened by hand as well as with a torque wrench and meet protection classes IP67, IP68 and IP69 afterwards.
