Primary Circuit Power Connector Enables Quick Disconnect

Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers RoboLok, a three position, high current, primary circuit power connector. This new connector features three fixed, proprietary RADSOK® contacts on each connector, offering a wide range of cable contact configurations. Designed for use by industrial robotic manufacturers, RoboLok uses RADSOK® contacts to deliver an ample operating temperature rise and a current capacity up to 200A continuous on a 50 mm(2) wire. This is 20A higher than the industry standard.

The unique design of RoboLok offers quick disconnects, and easy tool-less assembly/ maintenance in addition to delivering the power of Amphenol's RADSOK® technology. This innovative power connector is the most cost-effective on the market and can be used in industrial robots, tool changer systems, automated assembly lines as well as in a variety of other industrial applications. Amphenol's compact RoboLok connector features a 2+PE configuration with FMLB that is safe to operate during hot-plugging while also offering a lightweight, compact, composite modular design.

Amphenol's RoboLok offers a voltage rating of 1,000V ac or dc. This IP67-rated connector has an operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +100 degrees C and is able to withstand a minimum of 500 mating cycles. Until the introduction of RoboLok, the industry standard operating temperature range was only -20 degrees C to +100 degrees C.

Robolok is the only three-position, high-current, primary circuit power connector of its kind on the market with repairable components. Other equivalent industry standard connector components are often unrepairable and need to be completely replaced.
