Lisle, IL – June 3, 2008 – Molex announces the BradConnectivity new DIN 43650 connector. This innovative line of BradConnectivity mPm DIN connectors is designed to reduce the number of components, making them easier to assemble and with fewer parts to stock. Traditional connectors are supplied pre-assembled, requiring the operator to disassemble the connector before terminating the cable. This new generation connectors are supplied in single set or bulk components, eliminating the costly effort of disassembly and providing further cost savings.This next generation design provides repeatable, unsurpassed IP67 sealing performance (even in humidity) using an external nut over the cable.
Traditional Form A and B connectors require three different styles for PG07, PG09, and PG11. However, the external nut accepts a wider range of cables from 4mm to 9mm, reducing the number of parts from 3 to 1. The new generation of DIN connectors is available in our complete range of field attachable sizes including Form A, B and C. The mPm range of connectors is used extensively to provide electrical connections in a wide range of applications. The most common application for mPm connectors is in conjunction with hydraulic, pneumatic or electro magnetic devices including solenoid valves.
“The BradConnectivity mPm products are recognized throughout the industry for their performance and reliability,” said Antonio Cantoni, Global Product Marketing Manager. “Molex has long been a leading provider of connectivity and communication solutions and the new DIN 43650 connector adds to our exceptional product line by offering an innovative and cost effective solution to our customers’ needs to save them both time and money.”
