Binder, the industrial connector specialist, has created a new power bayonet connector, the PBC15.

 

Binder turns to PBC15 quick-locking power supply connector

 

Suitable for power supply and signal linking of devices via one cable, the PBC15 – in the field of power supply connectors – is intended to bridge gaps between M12 and M23 designs.

 

Typical applications are foreseen in factory and process automation and machine engineering.

 

 

With rated values of 630 V and 16 A for the power interface, the circular connector is suitable for the power supply of small to medium-sized drives.

 

 

For example, the signal pins can be used to control brakes or to query operating parameters such as temperatures. The shieldable variants of the connector are prepared for use in environments exposed to electromagnetic interference.

 

Designed within the DIN EN IEC 61076-2-116 standard, the quick-lock ensures reliable locking by means of a quarter turn, highlights the company. Termination is provided by screw clamps.

 

The PBC15 is initially available as wireable female or male cable connectors, in each case as an unshielded or shieldable variant.

 

“With the PBC15, we have succeeded in creating a power-dense and easy-to-use connector that is ideally suited for small and medium-sized 3-phase motors,” said Binder product manager, Philipp Zuber.

 

“With the high ampacity of its 3 power contacts and with its 2 signal pins, the connector is extremely versatile in supplying power to automation components and drives. The quick locking as well as the screw clamp termination allow users to easily and quickly wire and install the connector.”

 

Binder is headquartered in Neckarsulm, Germany, but has UK offices in Nottingham.
