M58 Power Connectors for Large Motors and Drives

Large motors need a connector that can handle serious conductor sizes without becoming the weak link. M58 power connectors from AP Technology are made for the top end of the motor range, where cable diameter and current both move well beyond everyday automation sizes. Typical uses include large drives on heavy process plant, metal forming and big material handling systems. Screw thread coupling keeps the connection secure, and body styles for both cable and panel mounting allow the connector to suit the frame and the cable route. 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. AP Technology holds an in-depth UK stock profile of M17, M23, M40 and M58 connectors, so most requirements do not start with a long wait. The power connector range AP Technology distributes comes from Intercontec, now part of TE Connectivity, and covers M17, M23, M40 and M58 sizes.

Voltage ratings run up to 630V and currents up to 200A, dependent on continuous operation, with capacity for conductors up to 50mm². These connectors are used to feed motors, spindle drives and servo motors, and they are built to cope with vibration, sudden shock, heat, cold, moisture, dust and dirt. If you are looking to reduce vendors, AP Technology's cross referral service can review existing part numbers or a full bill of materials and recommend suitable alternatives from its line card. Data sheets, samples and costs follow, so a switch can be judged on real information. Partner brands include Intercontec, Bimed, Tecnikabel, TKD, ILME and Hugro.
