Precision farming stands for the targeted management of utilized agricultural land, e.g. the individual application of fertilizers and plant protection products depending on the position of the utilized land. To ensure the necessary communication between tractor, equipment and agricultural management software, the nonproprietary ISOBUS is used. ISOBUS is specified in standard ISO 11783-2 and describes the BUS including the connectors used with it. To extend the CONEC product range in the field of connection solutions for agricultural and construction machinery, the connectors for ISOBUS are included in the ready-made and overmoulded design. The overmoulded ISOBUS-series is available as male and female version. The contact carrier has the 9-pin contact image required by the standard. At the connection side, the female connector comes with a quick release bayonet locking. Due to the overmould, continuous IP67 protection of the housing up to the hybrid cable is ensured. Currently, two different cable variants are available which are specifically designed for agricultural applications. The cable variants differ in the cross-section of the stranded wires for ground and power with 6 mm² and 10 mm². At the connection side, the female connector comes with a quick release bayonet coupling. CONEC has developed a dust protection cap for the female version and uses it to protect the contact area against dirt and moisture. By default, the dust protection cap is connected to the connector by means of a captive stainless steel rope. The CONEC ISOBUS connector assembly is plugged in on the tractor in the so-called parking socket. In the parking socket, the bayonet coupling is overridden and the connector is locked in place with a spring bracket.

PRESS RELEASE In unmated condition, the parking socket is protected against moisture and dirt by a protective cap with integrated seal. To protect the seal of the protective cap in mated condition, the ISOBUS connector is executed with a landing plate. The standard version is round, optionally there is also a landing plate with flattened outer surface. Upon request, the connectors can be supplied completely without landing plate. At the connection side, the female connector comes with a quick release bayonet locking. CONEC has developed a dust protection cap for the female version and uses it...
