Binder-USA M12 and 7/8 Inch Power Connectors Accept Larger Wires

April 20, 2011 by Jeff Shepard

Binder-USA is now offering M12 and 7/8" field-attachable connectors with larger screw clamp terminations. This change will allow the connectors to accept wires up to 14 AWG. The ability to use a larger wire gauge make the connectors suitable for connecting power applications typically found in industrial environments.

The Series 713 M12 connectors with 4- and 5-pins can now be terminated with 16 AWG wires and a maximum cable diameter of 10mm. After increasing the wire gauge it is possible for the connectors to conduct currents up to 8 A per contact. Both male and female versions are available in straight form and are intermateable with all 4- and 5-pin A-coded versions.

The Series 820 7/8" connectors with 5-pins can now be terminated with 14 AWG wires and a maximum cable diameter of 14 mm. By increasing the size of the cable clamps it is now possible for the connectors to withstand currents up to 12A per contact. Male and female connectors with straight and angled forms are available with the larger screw terminations.

All Binder M12 and 7/8" connectors are IP67 rated when connected to their mating parts. Binder-USA offers mating cordsets, receptacles and field-attachable connectors for a complete connecting system.
