Today’s demanding industrial applications require compact, robust connectors that can reliably transmit high currents and voltages, noted Binder USA LP. The provider of circular connectors today announced special flange components that act as plug-in partners for its PBC15 cable connector.

The PBC connector system is designed to transmit high currents and voltages in tight spaces, said Binder. It claimed that combining it with the new components enables tailored systems for a wide range of applications, such as in-drive technology.

“The system is particularly suitable for applications where power and signals need to be transmitted via a cable,” stated Philipp Zuber, product manager at Binder. “With the option for shielding, the connector is also optimal for applications with high demands on signal integrity or where electromagnetic transmission is required.”

The PBC15 connector supplies power and signals to three-phase and asynchronous motors and frequency inverters, said Binder. Due to its properties, it can be used in drives, automation, intralogistics, and mechanical engineering—for example, in fans, pumps, and packaging machines.

The new flange components create seamless connections for secure power and signal transmission, the company explained. This further enhances the PBC15 system’s advantages, said Binder.

The flange components are available as flange plugs and sockets — with locking mechanism — each in unshielded plastic or shielded versions with metal components. They offer standard wire cross-sections of 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² with wire lengths of 250 mm, enabling current transmission of up to 16 A at 630 V.

The PBC15 flange components feature an M20x1.5 mounting thread, which can be directly mounted in the customer-specific housing, device, or motor housing using a locknut. A quick locking mechanism can be achieved with a ¼ turn.

The standardized flange components are cross-manufacturer compatible, according to DIN EN IEC 61076-2-116, offering maximum flexibility, Binder said.
