Hybrid Connectors for Automotive Assembly Tools

Automotive assembly stations get through thousands of cycles, with tools being moved and connections taking regular knocks. Hybrid connectors from AP Technology allow power and data to reach those tools through a single, secure connection. Tool controllers, fastening systems and lineside equipment all benefit from fewer separate leads. Offering several contact arrangements helps engineers find a good match without moving to a fully custom connector, and tested cable assemblies can be supplied ready to fit. 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. For larger frames the 740 Htec series is an M40 hybrid with a nine pole insert and a choice of two pole data element or six pole Ethernet element, each with separate EMC shielding.

It comes in three body styles for cable and panel mounting, with a clamping range of 7 to 25mm, Speedtec coupling and the crown clamp. 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.
