26 Pole M27 Signal Connectors for Complex Control

Some control runs simply need more contacts than a standard signal connector can provide. AP Technology supplies M27 signal connectors for those high pole count duties, giving engineers a route to carry multiple functions through one circular connection. They are suited to machine tools, multi-function actuators and control interfaces where many signals and some power need to travel together. Using a single multi-pole connector can cut down on separate cable runs and reduce panel space. Standard signal connectors use nickel plated brass housings with EMC shielding, IP66/67 sealing when connected, and a -20°C to 130°C temperature range. IP69K is available to special order on the M17 and M23 ranges, and the minimum mating life is 500 cycles. Those are sensible numbers for equipment that gets knocked, washed and unplugged during its working life. Harsh or aggressive conditions call for the M23 316L series, made from 1.4404 grade stainless steel. It covers contact arrangements from 6 to 19 positions and has been designed with chemical and food processing plants in mind.
