Panel Mount Power Connectors for Control Cabinets

Getting power cleanly through a cabinet wall is often where a good layout gets compromised. AP Technology supplies panel mount power connectors that let machines be wired, tested and shipped in sections, then simply plugged together on site. Panel builders and OEMs use them to separate the control cabinet from the machine, making installation and later replacement far quicker. A pluggable interface also means a failed motor cable can be swapped by maintenance staff without pulling conductors out of the cabinet. 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. On the standard ranges the housings are nickel plated brass with EMC shielding, sealing to IP66/67 when connected and IP69K available to special order on the M17, M23 and M40 series.

The working temperature range is -20°C to 130°C and the minimum mating life is 500 cycles. That gives designers a known set of numbers to work from before a prototype is ever built. A team of technical sales engineers can help with design, sourcing, manufacture and delivery. Whether you need a handful of connectors for a repair or a repeat programme of tested assemblies, AP Technology works as a one stop shop for interconnect products. Standard items and customised products can sit on the same order and the same account. Need a price or some technical advice on panel mount power connectors for control cabinets?
