Overview and Certification

CONEC Hybrid connectors are poised to be among the first products certified under the forthcoming IEC standard 61076-2-118, expected by the end of 2024. This global standard ensures compatibility across devices, cables, and connectors, promoting reliable supply chains and product consistency.

Product Concept and Benefits

The hybrid connector system combines power and data transmission within a single connector, reducing cabling complexity and clutter. It supports applications ranging from small DC drives to powerful servo drives, offering flexibility through multiple sizes and pole configurations.

Sizes and Electrical Specifications

• B12 Size: 2-4 power poles (up to 16 mm² wire), 2 or 4 data poles, 50 V AC/DC, power contacts up to 8 A, data contacts 4 A, IP67 protection.
• B17 Size: Power poles configurations including 2+PE, 3+PE, 4+PE, 3+PE+2; wire up to 2.5 mm²; rated voltage up to 600 V AC/DC; power contacts up to 20 A; data contacts 4 A; IP67.
• B23 Size: Power poles 3+PE+2 or 4+PE; wire up to 4 mm²; 600 V AC/DC; power contacts up to 26 A; data contacts 4 A; IP67; axial and angled versions.
• B40 Size: Larger configurations with multiple codings and shielding; power poles 4+PE; data poles 2 or 4; current and voltage similar to B23; IP67.

Mechanical Coding and Color Marking

Connectors feature mechanical codings with varied angular positions of the contact carrier relative to the bayonet locking mechanism to prevent mismating. Each size offers at least two codings, visually distinguished by colored rings, ensuring secure and error-free connections.

Connector Types and Assembly

• Overmoulded Connectors: Pre-assembled cables with molded connectors, available in standard lengths, electrically tested per IEC 11801 Cat5e, tamper-proof, secured by bayonet locking.
• Field-Attachable Connectors: Designed for easy installation in the field or inside machines, using dedicated cables, secured by bayonet locking.
• Receptacles: Seven versions including front/rear panel mounting, square and angled rotatable types, all with bayonet locking for quick, secure connections.

Technical Data Highlights

• IP67 protection when mated, ensuring dust-tight and water-resistant connections.
• Data contacts rated at 4 A (40 °C).
• Power contacts current ratings vary by size and wire gauge, up to 26 A.
• Rated voltages: 50 V AC/DC for data contacts, up to 600 V AC/DC for power contacts.

Applications and Flexibility

Suitable for diverse industrial applications involving power and data transmission for drives and devices. The modular design with multiple sizes, codings, and configurations supports various power classes and communication protocols such as Ethernet/EtherCAT and 2-wire BUS systems.
