EPIC® Circular Connectors

M23 Signal Connectors
Overview

  
 
CIRCON M23 circular signal connectors are designed to DIN specification EN61984 and have a standard M23 threaded connection housing. They are offered in coupler, connector, and panel mount configurations that satisfy simple cable-to-cable and cable-to-machine requirements. They are ideal for control signal transmission and servo drive encoder feedback applications in the plastics, printing, analytical instrument, robotic, and machine tool industries, and any other industrial or commercial application where a compact, rugged connector is required.

Equipment Description:

EPIC CIRCON M23 Connectors are available in 3 housing arrangements that can accommodate 3 different insert keying positions. Inserts are offered in 7 contact configurations for mounting male or female, crimp or solder contacts. Common to all arrangements are a rugged nickel plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and sleeve, and gold plated electrical contacts. Cable mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and cable clamp and seal. The figure to the right shows the general construction of these connectors.

The connectors are offered with insert configurations for 6, 7, 8+1, 9, 12, 16, and 17 crimp or solder contacts in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation. Used in combination, they connect one cable with another (cable coupler) or a cable to fixed wiring in a control enclosure or on a machine, instrument, or servo motor.

 

Features & Benefits

The new M23 connectors have many inherent features which offer application advantages and provide significant benefits for the customer. These features make it one of the most application friendly connectors available, and insure quick and easy assembly, high reliability, and long, uninterrupted service life in tough industrial environments.
