IP65/67 field-installable Industrial Ethernet RJ45 connectors
Tyco Electronics is launching IP65/67 field-installable Industrial Ethernet RJ45 push-pull connectors. Utilising the company's 'common core' design, the connectors can be applied in the field without the need for any tools. This significantly reduces installation time and costs. This fast termination technology is used in all field-installable connector series' of Tyco Electronics, including IP20, ODVA-compliant, push-pull and HTS connectors.
Designed for use in harsh industrial environments, such as sealed automation units, decentralised applications, cabinet outlets, manufacturing cells and lines in the automotive industry, as well as solar parks and wind parks, the IP65/67 field-installable Industrial Ethernet RJ45 connector features a comfortable push-pull mechanism. This, together with the jack-side frame, ensures a secure, sealed interconnection and enables the connector to withstand severe shocks and vibrations.
Suitable for use with four-wire AWG 22 and eight-wire AWG 26 cables, the Industrial Ethernet RJ45 push-pull connector comes with protective covers for both the plug and receptacle for extra protection when not mated. An eight-position high-performance insert (with eight pins) will be available soon, as will five support and packing frame variants, including a frame with seal and screws for use with PCBs, a frame with SL 110 Jack shielded for Cat5e, a frame with 6SSL Jack for Cat6 and a frame with shielded/unshielded couplers.
Meeting TIA/EIA 568 Category 5e requirements, the RJ45 push-pull connector also complies with the IEC 61076-3-117 - Variant 14 standard. Featuring UV-resistant housings, the connector is designed for a wide operating temperature range from -40 to +70degC.
