One-cable Hybrid Connectors

Why are Hybrid Connectors used?

Conventional cabling of electric motors, servo drives or linear units is often very complex. Separate cables are used for power, data, and signal transmission for different tasks. This wiring concept is not only expensive, but also difficult to maintain. It also takes up a lot of space. Increasing cost pressure and the miniaturisation of end devices make new solutions for more efficient cabling just as necessary as constantly increasing data volumes and high transmission speeds.

What characterises CONEC Hybrid Connectors?

CONEC Hybrid Connectors combine power supply and data transmission in one connector. One connector instead of two or three, shorter assembly times, lower weight on the end device (e. g. motor) – these are the convincing arguments in favour of the CONEC connector series.

CONEC Hybrid:
IEC standard 61076-2-118 compliant connectors

In addition, CONEC Hybrid Connectors are among the first products to comply with the future IEC 61076-2-118 standard. The standard is expected to be published at the end of 2024. The main objective of such international standardisation is to ensure consistent compatibility of devices, cables and connectors for customers and users. On the one hand, this is achieved by ensuring stable supply chains and second-source strategies and on the other hand by defining product reliability criteria based on established, known, and new standards.
