Overview of Junction Systems

This document provides a detailed overview of various junction systems used in Sensor and Actor Line (SAL) applications, focusing on connectors such as Y-Splitters, DUO-Splitters, T-Splitters, and Adapters with installation sizes M8x1 and M12x1.

Nomenclature and Coding

The nomenclature for SAL junction systems is systematically structured to convey key product attributes:

Gender: 'S' denotes male connectors, 'K' denotes female connectors.
Number of Poles: Options include 2PE, 3, 4, 5, and 8 positions.
Design Type: 'Y' for Y-Splitter, 'D' for DUO-Splitter, 'T' for T-Junction, 'R' for Circular connector.
Coding: 'A-coding' applies to M12x1 connectors; standard coding for M8x1.
Quantity: Number of input/output ports (e.g., 2).
Installation Size: '8' for M8x1, '12' for M12x1.
Configuration: Axial or angled (denoted by 'W').
Cable Length and Quality: Length specified in meters; cable types include TPU (black, highly flexible, halogen-free, UL certified) identified as K1.

Product Specifications

Materials: Contacts are copper-zinc (CuZn) with nickel and gold plating; contact carriers made from TPU GF or PA; overmoulds use TPU; sealing employs FPM; coupling nuts are GD-Zn or stainless steel.
Electrical Ratings: Rated voltages range from 30 V to 250 V AC/DC depending on model; current ratings vary from 0.25 A up to 4 A; insulation resistance and pollution degree comply with IEC standards.
Mechanical and Environmental Standards: Protection ratings from IP65 to IP67 per IEC 60529; mating cycles conform to IEC 60512-9a; recommended tightening torque is 0.4 Nm (SW 9) for M8 connectors and 0.6 Nm (SW 13) for M12 connectors.

Standards Compliance

Junction systems adhere to multiple IEC standards ensuring interoperability and safety:

IEC 61076-2-101 and IEC 61076-2-104 for connector specifications.
IEC 60512 series for mechanical and electrical testing.
IEC 60664-1 for insulation coordination.
IEC 60529 for ingress protection.

Product Variants and Part Numbers

The document includes detailed tables listing part numbers, contact assignments, rated voltages, current ratings, wire cross sections, cable lengths, and coding for various junction types:

Y-Splitters: Male M8x1 or M12x1 connectors splitting into two female connectors; available in 3, 4, 5, and 8 pole versions.
DUO-Splitters: Similar to Y-Splitters but designed for dual outputs; available in axial or angled configurations.
T-Splitters/Adapters: T-shaped junctions with options for stainless steel coupling nuts; available for M8x1, M12x1, and 7/8" sizes; configurations include male and female connectors with various pole counts.
Adapters: Male-to-female or male-to-male connectors for M12x1 junctions, including versions with stainless steel coupling nuts.

Key Technical Parameters

Rated voltages range from 30 V to 250 V AC/DC depending on connector type and pole count.
Current ratings vary from 0.25 A to 4 A; wire cross sections typically between 0.25 mm² and 0.34 mm².
Cable materials include TPU (halogen-free, UL certified) and PVC (grey, LiYY).
Configurations support both axial and angled cable exits to accommodate installation needs.

Installation and Handling Recommendations

Recommended tightening torque: 0.4 Nm using SW 9 wrench for M8 connectors.
Recommended tightening torque: 0.6 Nm using SW 13 wrench for M12 connectors.
Products are designed for multiple mating cycles to ensure durability in industrial environments.
