Even components that often receive little attention can prevent expensive damage: The protective caps for the 670 and 770 series cable connectors from Binder reliably protect the components against the ingress of dust and liquids when unplugged. The requirements of protection class IP67 are met.

The Visionary-T Mini AP from SICK is a cost-effective 3D machine vision solution for logistics, robotics or industrial vehicles that is very easy to configure. By combining the Visionary-T Mini AP camera with the Sick Nova 3D Presence Inspection SensorApp, the configuration of machine vision inspections in 3D is now possible in a single snapshot.

The CG/MG enclosure series for industrial connectors from Ilme is designed for harsh environments and is waterproof to IP66/IP68/IP69. Connectors are potentially exposed to contamination, weathering and mechanical shocks in situations where cables are left unplugged for long periods of time. Harsh environments and applications always require a high level of protection and resistance of the components.

SPE connections in installations are easy to retrofit with Wago Winsta Mini plug-in connectors from the 890 series: Single Pair Ethernet is the perfect solution when high speeds are required for data transmission over long distances, but space is limited for connections and installation. It enables Ethernet connections via a single pair of wires. This saves space and weight in the applications and conserves resources. The WAGO 890 Series Winsta Mini connectors offer a particularly simple way to retrofit SPE connections in existing installations.

Following the market launch of modular push-in inserts last year, the HARTING Technology Group has now added the first monoblock variant for the Han-Compact housing to its portfolio. The new Han Q 8/0 insert enables up to 30% faster field assembly of connectors thanks to the push-in technology. With the Han Q with push-in technology, power and signals up to 16 A/500 V can be transmitted in the smallest of spaces.

Amphenol's Surlok Plus high-current connector series for energy storage systems, electric vehicles, battery solutions, fuel cells and industrial applications has been expanded to include a powerful version with a voltage capacity of 1,500 VDC. The housing is also more compact compared to the previous 1,000 VDC version.

Data rates of 100 Mbit/s, power of up to 30 watts and almost a third less space than M12: The D-coded M8 circular connectors from Franz Binder GmbH & Co. Elektrische Bauelemente KG ensure the space- and cost-efficient connection of sensors and actuators via Ethernet in production plants, buildings or infrastructure facilities.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a powerful technology for implementing IIoT applications. The PCB terminal blocks in the Combicon range from Phoenix Contact ensure optimum connection technology.

For electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, the Schaffner Group presented the RV series of common-mode chokes at SPS - Smart Production Solutions. Common-mode chokes (CM choke) are components used in electrical circuits to reduce or suppress common-mode interference. This is interference that occurs simultaneously on all lines of a signal cable or network.

More compact, more reliable, more robust: TE Connectivity presented the Dynamic D1000 Slim at SPS - Smart Production Solutions for robust plug connections in confined spaces in automation and robotics as well as in areas such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), servo motors or semiconductor production.
