08 November 2011

Binder-USA is pleased to announce new receptacles with adjustable angular positions as part of the Series 713, 763, 715 and 766 automation product ranges. The panel-mounted receptacles can be rotated during installation to allow a right-angle cordset to connect in a desired angular position. These M12 A- and B-coded connectors are commonly used for industrial networks and automation applications in harsh environments.

Binder-USA Releases adjustable M12 Receptacles The new receptacles are available in both male and female versions and prewired with 200mm wires. The A-coded connectors are available with 4, 5, 8 and 12 gold-plated contacts. The B-coded connectors are available with 4 and 5 gold-plated contacts. When fully connected to their mating parts the connectors are IP67/IP68 rated ensuring connections are protected from liquids and debris.

Additionally, the housing of the A-coded receptacles has been converted from nickel-plated brass to nickel-plated die-cast zinc. In result terminations are no longer potted since the contact insert is now keyed and locked in the housing.

Binder-USA offers right-angle and straight versions of both field-attachable connectors and cordsets to make a complete connecting system with the new receptacles.
