M23 Hybrid Connectors with Ethernet Bus Module

Data and motor power used to mean separate connectors. The M23 hybrid with bus module from AP Technology brings them together, with a separately shielded element for fast industrial Ethernet inside a single housing. It suits networked drives and decentralised control, where motors and I/O need both power and a live data connection. Having the Ethernet element shielded separately is what makes this workable, helping protect sensitive data from the power conductors sharing the same housing. The 932 Twintec series is an M32 hybrid, first designed for semi automatic tools in the automotive industry. It is UL listed and VDE approved, with body styles for cable and panel mounting. The Series 2 version offers 19, 24 and 26 contact arrangements with ratings of 35A/2.4A/10A, and it has multi-hole cable clamping for separate conductors in one entry. 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. Buying is kept straightforward. There is no minimum order value on stocked products, cable can be cut to the lengths you need, and repeat requirements can be placed on scheduled or call-off orders. Custom labels and packaging are also available, which helps when parts are going straight to a production line or out to a site team.
