Belden Launches New M12 Push Pull Connectors
St. Louis, Missouri – September 19, 2023 – Belden, a leading global supplier of network infrastructure and digitization solutions, today announced the release of its new Lumberg Automation M12 Inner Push Pull Connectors, which conform to International Electrotechnical (IEC) standard 61076-2-010. Featuring a secure, fast-locking contacting method, the M12 Push Pull Connectors are optimal for use in harsh environments to prevent accidental disconnects that cause downtime, disrupt data gathering or create safety hazards.
As enterprises pursue digital transformation, connecting more operational technology (OT) devices and information technology (IT) systems empowers them to collect and transfer more data, promote uptime and gain operational efficiency. The M12 Push Pull Connector answers the call with its simple, secure contacting method and portfolio of X-coded, D-coded and A-coded variants to meet a wide range of industrial and transportation use cases.
The M12 Push Pull Connectors offer powerful benefits, including:
- Innovative new technology that ensures secure contact without tools for torque, even in tight spaces, such as on input/output (IO) modules or switches.
- Simplified installation and maintenance by eliminating the need to screw in connectors, which reduces installation time by up to 80%.
- Exceptional ingress protection and vibration resistance to withstand the demands of harsh transportation and industrial environments.
“Today’s industrial, transportation and automation environments demand continuous uptime and dependable data collection from OT equipment,” said Artjom Bil, Product Manager at Belden. “The M12 Push Pull Connector provides the fast, guaranteed secure contacting enterprises need for reliable connectivity with no tools or screwing required. The connectors are ideal for use in the field and in tight spaces, and meet standards for vibration, salt spray, welding spark, chemical and external force resistance to withstand challenging conditions.”
The M12 Push Pull Connector meets the stringent demands of several sectors, including railway rolling stock, harbors, intralogistics organizations, supply chain and material handling operations, and classic automation environments.
