Plug-in partner for cable connectors in demanding industrial applications

Demanding industrial applications today require compact, robust connectors that can reliably transmit high currents and voltages. binder now offers the perfect solution: special flange components act as plug-in partners for the PBC15 cable connector. This combination enables tailored solutions for a wide range of applications, such as in drive technology.

When high currents and voltages need to be transmitted in tight spaces, the PBC15 connector system is ideal. Philipp Zuber, Product Manager at binder, explains: "The system is particularly suitable for applications where power and signals need to be transmitted via a cable.

“With the
option for shielding, the connector is also optimal for applications with high demands on signal integrity or where electromagnetic transmission is required."

The connector proves itself in the industry by supplying three-phase motors and asynchronous motors, as well as frequency inverters. Due to its properties, it
can be used in drive technology, automation technology, intralogistics, and mechanical engineering – for example, in fans, pumps, and packaging machines.

The new flange components create seamless connections for secure power and signal transmission, further supporting the advantages of the PBC15 system.

The flange components are available
as flange plugs and flange sockets (with locking mechanism), each in unshielded plastic versions or shielded versions with metal components. They offer standard wire cross-sections of 1.5mm² and 2.5mm² with wire lengths of 250mm, enabling current transmission of up to 16 A at 630V.

The PBC15
flange components feature an M20x1.5 mounting thread, which can be directly mounted in the customer-specific housing or in the device or motor housing using a locknut. A quick locking mechanism can be achieved with a one-quarter turn.

The standardised flange components are cross-manufacturer compatible according to DIN EN IEC 61076-2-116, offering maximum flexibility.
