I/O Connectors IEC 61076–2–101, IEC 61076-2-104SMT3, 4, 5, 8 IEC 61076–2–101, IEC 61076-2-1043, 4 IEC 61076–2–101, IEC 61076-2-1043, 4, 5 ERNI has developed such amodular system with M8/12 connectors that is fully flexible in application and has robustSMT connections for bulkpackaging and feeding. The connector has also beendesigned for tape-on-reelpackaging. The concept allows connectors to be produced at various heights and with different pin configurations. The black insulator is made of high-temperature plastic and is suitable for soldering with allthe usual SMT soldering procedures. In addition thereare metal shells an o-ringsavailable. These connectors can be usedto implement a flexible I/O orfield bus connection on the circuit board. ERNI offers M8/M12 Pcb connectors, cable solutions as well as accessories, e.g. metal shells and o-rings, to realize a reliable IP67 protection in harsh industrial environments.M12 connectors are currently recommended as field busconnectors for almost all fieldbus specifications and are also available with different codings.The introduction of theM8/M12 connectors illustrates ERNI's commitment to developa reliable and flexible I/O or fieldbus connection on the circuit board. ERNI also offers cable assem-blies for the connection of sensors/actuators or other automation systems devicessuch as I/O distribution boxes.The standard product range covers pre-assembled, over-moulded industrial circular connectors of sizes M8 and M12 either as interconnection of two circularconnectors or as a cord sethaving an open end of line. ERNI's product range covers various cable lengths and different cable qualities such asPVC, as an economic solution or PUR, for highly demandingapplications. Furthermore, ERNI's portfoliocomprises field-attachable connectors for tool-less termi- nation, T-coupler, panel feed-throughs and adapter for quickand cost-efficient connection in the field.
