EMC Shielded Signal Connectors for Noisy Environments

Variable speed drives, welding plant and large motors all fill the air with electrical noise, and sensitive signals have to get through it. EMC shielded signal connectors from AP Technology help maintain the integrity of the screen from cable through to housing. A good cable screen achieves little if it is badly terminated at the connector. These connectors work alongside screened cable and a correct termination, offering engineers a practical way to cut down on the interference issues that eat up commissioning time. The 623 series M23 is one of the broadest signal ranges available, with eight body styles for cable and panel mounting and eight insert styles from 6 up to 19 contacts. It is UL listed and VDE approved, with crimp or solder contacts and a clamping range of Ø3.5 to Ø14.7mm. Couplings can be a screw thread or the patented Speedtec quick lock system. 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.

If the choice is not obvious, an online product selector is linked from the AP Technology site, or the technical sales team can talk it through with you. A team of technical sales engineers can help with design, sourcing, manufacture and delivery. Whether you need a handful of connectors for a repair or a repeat programme of tested assemblies, AP Technology works as a one stop shop for interconnect products. Standard items and customised products can sit on the same order and the same account.
