M40 Power Connectors for High Current Motors

When a motor outgrows M23, the M40 size is the usual next step. AP Technology supplies M40 power connectors for high current motors, offering more contact capacity and a larger cable entry for the heavier conductors that bigger drives demand. Press lines, large handling machines and heavy axes are typical homes for this size of connector. They are available for cable and panel mounting, which gives designers some flexibility on how the power feed reaches a large motor frame. 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. For especially harsh and aggressive conditions, such as chemical and food processing, the M23 316L range swaps brass for 1.4404 grade stainless steel. It is offered in 6, 8 and 9 contact arrangements rated up to 30A, with crimp or solder contacts and a threaded coupling.
