Motor Power Connectors for Packaging Machinery

Packaging machines often run many motors in very little space, usually at high speed and sometimes around washdown. Motor power connectors from AP Technology help builders keep that wiring tidy, modular and quick to service. Form, fill and seal machines, cartoners, labellers and palletisers are all typical applications. Quick lock coupling suits the high connector count, and it allows format change parts or modules to be disconnected and moved without tools being taken to threaded rings. 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. 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. 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.
