June 9 2008 - Schaumburg, IL USA - Omron Electronic Components LLC expanded its Smartclick connector line making available the XS5M panel-mount plugs and XS5P panel-mount sockets in both front and rear panel-mount versions. These IP67 rated circular industrial connectors feature a one-touch bayonet locking system, enabling connection in just 1/8th of a turn. When coupled with Omron’s XS5 connectors they provide a superior circuit connection (as compared to traditional screw style connectors) and an audible and tactile click indicating secure locking. They are also compatible with traditional screw-on type M12 connectors already available in the market.
They are shipped with 0.5 meter long 20AWG color-coded leads. By utilizing Omron’s Smartclick connector system, assembly time will be reduced significantly when compared to screw styles. Assemblers will experience less fatigue, and easier “blind mating.” The connectors also provide optimum seal performance when compared to screw styles because the chance of over or under tightening seals has been eliminated.
Improved shock/vibration resistance combined with a connector that will not unscrew ensures the connection thus reducing costly equipment downtime. “The industry is embracing Omron’s Smartclick connectors. The addition of these panel mounts will enable industrial automation system and component manufacturers the chance to take advantage of the Smartclick system,” said Cami Marsh, Marketing Communications Coordinator of Omron Electronic Components LLC.MSRP for the XS5M-D426-5 front-panel plug is $6.3232 in 1,000pc quantities.
The XS5P-D426-5 front-panel socket is $6.6831 in 1,000pc quantities. Delivery is stock to 8 weeks.
