Leading cable solutions provider, Lapp Ltd, announces two new series of circular connectors designed for use in applications where a versatile, compact and rugged connector is required.

Part of Lapp’s Epic Circon family, both the M23 signal connector and the LS1 power connector comply with the requirements of DIN EN 61984, are rated to IP68 and are approved to UL, CSA and VDE standards.

Circon M23 signal connectors are offered in coupler, connector, and panel mount configurations that satisfy simple cable-to-cable and cable-to-machine requirements. They are ideal for control signal transmission and servo drive encoder feedback applications in the plastics, printing, analytical instrument, robotic, and machine tool industries, and any other industrial or commercial application where a compact, rugged connector is required.

M23 Connectors are available in seven housing arrangements that can accommodate three different keying positions. Inserts are offered in a choice of seven contact configurations for mounting male or female, crimp or solder contacts. Common to all arrangements are a rugged nickel-plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and gold plated electrical contacts. Cable mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and a built in Skintop® gland.

They are offered with insert configurations for 6, 7, 8+1, 9, 12, 16, and 17 crimp or solder contacts in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation. Used in combination, they connect one cable with another (cable coupler) or a cable to fixed wiring in a control enclosure or on a machine, instrument, or motor.

A colour coding system provides positive identification and visual differentiation in multiple connector installations whilst colour coded keying rings insure correct mating selection in applications where several connectors are mounted in the same location.

Circon LS1 power connectors have a standard M23 threaded connection housing and are offered in male coupler, female connector, and male inlet configurations that satisfy simple cable-to-cable and cable-to-machine requirements. They are ideal for power transmission and servo drive applications in the plastics, printing, analytical instrument, robotic, machine tool industries, and any other industrial or commercial application where a compact connector with high voltage and current capability is required.

LS1 connectors are available in five housing arrangements and two contact configurations. Common to all arrangements are a rugged nickel-plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and gold plated electrical contacts. Like the M23 connectors, cable mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and the highly regarded Skintop® gland.

For multiple connector installations, colour marking is used to provide positive identification and visual differentiation.
