Binder-USA Enhances M12 Shielded Connectors To Reduce Assembly Time

Binder-USA, LP announced a design enhancement for the M12 shielded connectors within the 713, 715 and 825 series. This revised version is said to reduce the amount of loose parts and to reduce the number of assembly steps from 8 to 6 (the company claims that this ensures a quick and easy assembly).

These improvements are made possible by preassembling the insulation sleeve inside the metal housing and by securing the o-ring to the shielding ring. These series are available with up to 12 contacts and will accept a cable with an outer diameter of up to 8mm. The new design will be phased in as existing inventory is depleted. Part numbers will remain unchanged.

Binder-USA, LP is a subsidiary of Franz Binder GmbH & Co., a German based designer and manufacturer of circular connectors and cordsets for use in industrial environments including factory automation, process control, and medical technology applications.
