High Voltage DC Hybrid Connectors for Servo Daisy Chains

DC bus systems raise the electrical demands placed on a connector, particularly where voltage is shared along a chain of servo drives. AP Technology supplies hybrid connectors designed to deal with higher DC voltages without moving up to a physically bigger size. This is relevant for shared bus systems and decentralised motion control. It enables machine builders to retain a compact M23 format while meeting the electric strength the system needs, which helps both on motor mounting and cable routing. Across the hybrid ranges, housings are nickel plated brass with crimp contacts, EMC shielding, a -20°C to 130°C temperature range and IP66/67 sealing when connected. The minimum mating life is 500 cycles. Fewer cables and fewer connectors also mean fewer points to inspect, which is usually welcomed by whoever has to maintain the machine. One Cable Technology is being adopted by servo and drive manufacturers because it lets machine builders develop more compact, efficient and reliable machines.

Custom OCT cable assemblies from AP Technology support digital feedback protocols and systems from the major manufacturers, and they are designed to your exact requirements rather than picked from a fixed list. 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.
