Harsh industrial applications are handled by the Micro Motor Connectors from TE Connectivity which are now available in Europe at specialist distributor TTI. With acknowledged expertise in industrial motor connectivity solutions, and widely known in the servo motor market. The compact and highly reliable range of connection solutions now includes a nine-position encoder connector and a 4+2 power & brake connector.

TE’s Power & Brake Connector for servo motor interface offers high performance in a small interconnect, with a high temperature rating of 125degC, plus its IP67 rating ensures suitability for harsh industrial environments.

Combining power and brake into a single connector lowers applied cost, as well as saving space.

Designed for easy installation in the field, the highly-reliable plastic connector features a box design to provide vibration resistance and is compatible with commercially available cable.

Electrical specifications for the Power & Brake Connector are rated voltage of 380VAC (power) and 48VDC (brake) with a rated current of 5A (power) and 2A (brake).

Dielectric withstanding voltage is 2500V for one minute.

For the Encoder, rated voltage is 10VAC, rated current of 1A and dielectric withstanding voltage.

Mechanical specifications for the Nine Position Encoder include a temperature rating of -30degC to +105degC and wire sizes of 0.1mm to 0.33mm with wire diameter of 6.8mm to 7.4mm.
