EMC Screen Termination Systems for Multipole Connectors

Screen termination is one of those details that causes a lot of trouble if it is done badly. AP Technology supplies EMC screen termination systems for multipole connectors, making a consistent, repeatable screen connection a much easier thing to achieve. They are helpful on servo, encoder and data lines, where interference can create intermittent problems. A method that does not rely on individual technique is a real benefit, especially when several people are making up assemblies across different shifts. Locktec gives a tamper proof pre-terminated assembly without an over mould. The housing and strain relief form an inseparable connection, which is destroyed if the connector is opened. It is available in the standard M23 power and signal configurations with protection to IP66/67, an EMC shielded metal housing, Speedtec or screw coupling, UL 94/V0 plastics, and bespoke labelling and strain relief colours. Ytec and its single version, Itec, were designed for small frame motors that still need the technical features of larger M series connectors.

They have a mounted height of only 20mm, rotate through 300° after installation, need only one mounting hole in the motor housing, and use an auto locking quick release fastener with an IP66/67 rating. Mechanical and colour coding prevent mismating. AP Technology was founded in 2001 and is a franchised specialist supplier of cable, connectors, cable assemblies, wire and wire management products. Its main differentiator is service, with in-house cable assembly, scheduled and call-off orders, no minimum order value on stocked products, a cable cutting service, custom labels and packaging, and global shipping.
