Industrial connector features 'twist-lock' screw cap

Yamaichi's new metal housing Y-ConCover-40 connector for industrial cabling features push-pull mating with a 'twist-lock' screw cap. It also meets the highest protection requirements for RJ45 interfaces under tough conditions and is protected to IP67/68/69K.

Industrial connector features 'twist-lock' screw cap

The Y-ConCover-40 is made from high-quality zinc die castings and supplements the PBT housing of the previous Y-ConCover-10, which has been tried and proven for years. It is designed for use in applications in which even greater physical protection is required.

Apart from enhanced robustness, the Y-ConCover-40 offers a further benefit: the previous push-lock principle with locking hook has been supplemented with a screw cap mechanism. Locking is still guaranteed by the tried and proved locking hook, but the 'twist-lock' screw cap makes it possible to release the cable connector from the housing flange with ease, particularly on applications with little space or poor accessibility; for example, connections on installed engines, in factory plants or in on-board networks of building site equipment and ships. The tested operating temperature of the material ranges from -40 to +120degC. Diverse colour alloys are available on request.

Already presented in spring, the metal housing Y-ConCover-30, a retrofittable component for existing cable assemblies, which can be mounted and screwed on around the plastic housing Y-ConCover-10 (protection class IP69K/ IP68/ IP67), remains in the programme.

To date the Y-Con series has consisted of the Y-ConRJ45, Y-ConProfiNet, Y-ConUSB and Y-ConIEEE (FireWire) products. All of these are available with IP69K plastic housings. For RJ45 connections, the range is now supplemented by the Y-ConCover-40. For IP20 protection, Yamaichi already offers the Y-ConCover-20 with a robust metal housing.

Yamaichi Electronics will be exhibiting its products at Embedded World 2008, hall 9 stand 244, in Nürnberg, Germany, from 26–28 February 2008.
