Signal Connectors for Packaging Line Sensors

Packaging lines rely on sensors for product position, label detection and a dozen other split-second decisions. AP Technology supplies signal connectors for packaging line sensors and control, helping keep those signals dependable during fast, repetitive running. They are suitable for labellers, wrappers, cartoners and end of line equipment. Where machines are cleaned frequently, sealed or stainless steel versions may suit better, and pre-terminated cable can make replacing a damaged sensor lead a quick job. Smaller machines often suit the 617 series M17, which comes in six body styles with 12 and 17 contact inserts rated at 7A/32V and 3.6A/63V. Where the contact count climbs, the 627 series M27 provides 26 pole capacity across four body styles, with screw thread coupling and mixed contact arrangements such as 4+2+12 and 4+2+17. The Intercontec signal connector range is used to transmit signals, control motors and monitor complex machines. AP Technology is the UK distributor and supplies the range across drive systems, robotics, mechanical engineering, automation, packaging and printing, aerospace, transport, shipbuilding, renewable energy, stage equipment, food and textiles.

Various pin configurations and housing types are available to suit the application. 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.
