binder M16 connectors aim at high pin count applications

The combination of a high pin count with the compact size of nominally 18.5mm diameter and 60mm in length means M16 connectors offer an alternative to more expensive connector systems, says the company.

M16 connectors are rated to 250V and can withstand an impulse voltage up to 1500V, with current handling of up to 7A (at 40ºC). They can accommodate cables ranging from 4.0 to 10mm diameter

Suitable for 5G roll out, highlights binder – with the ASIG-compliant connectors providing protection for outdoor installations – the Series 423 and 723 M16 connectors are available in 8-pin DIN variants, of which four to five contacts are used.

The AISG (Antenna Interface Standards Group) defines standards for the control and monitoring of antenna line devices in the wireless industry. binder’s products are AISG C485 compliant and available as male and female shielded cable and panel mount connectors .

Another addition to binder’s M16 offering is an X–coded connector. Supporting data transmission figures of up to 10Gbits/s, they are “capable of handling the data speeds demanded by today’s sensor-based automated production facilities”.

“At binder,” said the company’s Product Manager, Sascha Döbel, “we have found that the flexibility provided by our comprehensive range of M16 connectors with the seemingly endless options at relatively low cost compared to other connector systems, has led to its popularity continually increasing and its range of applications becoming ever wider.”
