binder has introduced M5, M8, and M12 products for sensor cabling that feature threaded locking rings – and other design parts – made of stainless steel.

Reliable signal transmission in electromagnetically exposed industrial environments requires sophisticated and comprehensive EMC concepts. By means of binder's 360°-shielded M5 connectors, these can now also be implemented in miniaturised applications that have particularly little installation space available – for example in robotics, sensor technology, metrology, and analytics.

At electronica 2022, in Munich, David Phillips at binder Electronics talks to Electronic Specifier's Editor Mick Elliott about how binder started as a traditional family business and how they grew to be a global company.

Cost-efficient and resources-saving device connection via only one pair of wires is a pioneering trend in industrial cabling.

Field-wireable, snap-in locking M8 signal cable connectors are designed for efficient and reliable installations in sensor and actuator applications, says binder.

In the subminiature circular connector market, binder has a strong portfolio of high-quality products that are constantly being refined. By optimising the manufacturing process of the Series 712 and 702 snap-in connectors in terms of quality and safety, binder is taking another step toward customer needs.

binder has announced that it offers a wide range of M12 and M16 cable connectors within its overall product portfolio. These include the 423, 713, 715 and 825 Series that binder has expanded with a shielded, two-part right-angle housing in the first quarter of 2021. This provides new options to widen the range of applications and increase future demand.

binder has announced a molded M8 circular connector, part of its 718 Series, which has a new type of shielding concept. In addition to the basic properties of M8 connectors like compact size and low weight, the new 718 Series connector features 360° shielding.

The new 12-pin M8 male panel-mount connectors with dip-soldered contacts in the Series 768/718 supplements the selection from binder with high-performance products for signal and data transmission.

binder’s newly developed products target the growing need for suitable, reliable circular connectors in many applications including lighting and test and measurement instrumentation. The Series 670 are 5-pin subminiature connectors with a bayonet closure and a cable bushing from 3.5 to 5.0mm. The flange-type socket is provided with soldered and dip-soldered contacts. 

The binder Innovation & Technology Center (ITZ) has developed a new direct printing technique that allows the application of functional electronic layers directly on a component. 

binder has announced the formation of a new subsidiary company in Switzerland. binder SWISS AG is headquartered in Tagelswangen, in the Swiss canton of Zurich and strengthens the binder Group on the international stage. binder  already has sales offices in Sweden, China, Singapore, the USA, Austria, France, the UK and the Netherlands.

Franz Binder GmbH & Co has acquired the commercial operations of four Pforzheim-based Eucrea Group companies. They are surface coating specialists FMB Technik GmbH and Weinbrecht & Kücherer Oberflächenveredelung GmbH (the latter is best known to the wider public for plating the statues given out at Germany’s ‘Bambi’ television awards) as well as EUCREA Industrieservice GmbH, which specialises in the c...

This year, binder is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the formation of its UK subsidiary. binder UK was established by current Managing Director David Phillips in 2009 at its present facility alongside the M1 motorway at Hemel Hempstead.

This month sees the 50th anniversary of founder Franz Binder’s decision to begin designing and making circular connectors just eight years after he established the company. Today, binder is a successful, independent, family-run business with a truly international reach and an industry leading industrial connector offering.
