Insulating bodies and socket housing for SMT and THR mounting

Compact connection solutions are required for maximum flexibility in device development. CONEC therefore offers a comprehensive range of connectors of various sizes and contact layouts for automatic production processes, for example A-, B-, D-, P-, X-coded SMT/THR insulators and socket housings in sizes M8x1/M12x1.
The advantages of THR or SMT assembly are that the connection technology can be integrated into the automatic assembly process, thus increasing the efficiency of device production in the electronics sector.

Production costs of the devices can be reduced by the use of fully automatically assemblable connection elements. While SMT technology is suitable for applications exposed to medium electromechanical loads, products with THR connection are particularly suitable when higher forces can act on electromechanical PCB components. CONEC's first M12x1 SMT connector family was introduced in 2012.
In addition to the A- and B-coded 4-, 5-, and 8-pole variants in shielded and unshielded versions male and female, the portfolio also includes the X-coded female variant for high-speed data transmission of up to 10 GBit/s in industrial environment.
The continuous miniaturization of electronic assemblies has led to CONEC developing a more compact M8x1 connector series for SMT and THR assembly in 2015.
Connector technology

Up to four different codings

The A- and B-coding for signal transmission have now been supplemented by the D-coding for Industrial Ethernet transmission (100 Mbps) and the P-coding for the EtherCAT P transmission protocol. Thus, it is now possible to implement fast data transmissions into small devices via IP67 protected interfaces. The insulating bodies meet the special requirements of the market because they are two-piece (insulating-body and flange housing without fixed mechanical connection), modular in construction, available in SMT and THR technology, suitable for both front and back panel mounting and available for different installation heights. This allows the user, for example, to mount the flanged housing into his device from the front or rear. Subsequently, the board equipped with the insulating body can be mounted from the inside (combined assembly). In addition, the connectors are ideal for integrative designs where the M8 thread is shaped to the customer housing. This creates maximum design freedom. By default, the protection class in mounted condition is IP67, the degree of protection of the mating-face in unmated condition is IP20. ds
