M23 Power Connectors with Quick Lock Coupling

M23 is the workhorse size in many automation systems, and quick lock coupling takes the fiddling out of connecting it. AP Technology stocks M23 power connectors with Speedtec coupling in the UK, giving a positive connection in a fraction of the time taken by a threaded nut. They make most sense on machines with many connectors, tight assembly schedules or regular changeovers. Saving a few seconds per plug sounds minor until you multiply it across a production run of machines with dozens of axes, or a maintenance team working against the clock. Choice comes down to the job. The 923 series M23 is UL listed and VDE approved, offered in eight body styles for cable and panel mounting, with ratings up to 200A on the single contact version. The 940 series M40 steps up to 75A on 6, 8 and 9 pole inserts with a clamping range of Ø7 to Ø25mm. The 958 series M58 is an 8 pole design rated at 150A/12A, with a clamping range of Ø17 to Ø36mm. Locking matters as much as current rating on a working machine.

The M17, M23 and M40 power ranges can be specified with a threaded coupling or the Speedtec quick lock system, which secures with 1/8th of a turn. Cable mounted versions are also available with the crown clamp, a coax style screen termination that seals to IP66/67 and avoids cutting the shielding braid. 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.
