binder has expanded the M12 product portfolio to include “L”-coded panel mount connectors and dip-solder contacts.These 823 series products are suitable for wave or hand soldering and especially reflow soldering on printed circuit boards, in automation applications typically subject to installation restrictions, where they serve as electromechanical interfaces in industrial device power supplies at voltages and currents up to 63 V DC and 16 A, for example in industrial Ethernet applications in the Profinet environment.Parallel to the trend towards decentralized automation, miniaturization is also making progress: devices to be used in the field such as sensors, actuators, controllers or industrial computers are getting smaller and smaller, while their functionality expands and therefore the requirements for the 'Power supply.Therefore, the number of interfaces they are equipped with increases, the driving factor of the demand for compact connectors.This makes L-coded connectors a smaller footprint alternative to 7/8 inch connector technology that has been established for use in power supplies.The 823 series consists of male and female panel mount connectors made in two parts - each model consists of a fastening body and a socket, which are not permanently connected to each other.Compared to the use of monolithic components, mounting and dismounting of the circuit board is simplified - while the fixing body is soldered to the board during assembly, the socket must be fixed directly to the device.A decisive advantage is the fact that brazing can be done without the socket;furthermore, the solder connections are not subject to the torques generated by the assembly of the socket, so the stresses applied to both components are considerably reduced, which helps the user to eliminate the sources of failure.The connectors have an IP68 degree of protection (when coupled) and are suitable for panel mounting both front and rear.It should be emphasized that it is not possible to fix the circuit board to the user's housing by means of this type of connector;it is therefore important to mount the card separately from the housing.This is a noticeable difference from monolithic versions, which in the case of very small circuit boards can be used to secure the latter to the device housing.The Series 823 has two special features: a captive O-ring with a metal locking system and an O-ring inserted between the socket and the contact body that prevents leakage of the sealing compound when sealing the user's housing.The socket is equipped with a sealing system for the part to be connected to the cable which allows the socket to be guided precisely even in the case of thin-walled mounting flanges.Save my name, email and website in this browser for future comments.
