MIL-C-5015-style commercial connectors are easier to use
Harwin is announcing that its MIL-C-5015-style commercial connectors have been improved for increased ease-of-use. Compatible with other MIL-DTL-5015-style devices, the new C90 connectors feature restyled rear flanges and end-bells to deliver a more streamlined profile.
These connectors are available from stock in 10SL, 12S and 14S sizes and with end caps and rubber bushing attachments to suit the entire product family. Termination options include cable, straight plug or panel-mount style. Applications include robotics, machine tools, welding equipment, extension leads, power cords, industrial and agricultural vehicles, mass transit, plus COTS applications where Mil qualification is not mandatory.
End caps are available with inner or exterior threads, so it is possible either to screw the cap into or onto the connector. Rubber bushings deliver IP67 sealing. End caps are manufactured from an aluminium alloy and are fully ROHS-compliant and competitively priced. To ensure end caps are not mislaid, they are attached to the connector body via a sturdy aluminium chrome chain.
Product Manager Paul Gillam comments: "We believe that our redesigned C90 connector family will facilitate and simplify new designs while remaining compatible with other MIL-DTL-5015 products that already exist in the market."
