EtherCAT P Connectors

With immediate effect, the connectivity specialist ESCHA has a comprehensive connector program for EtherCAT P-applications on offer. The four-pole connection cables and device interfaces with P-coding facilitate a common data- and power supply via the industrially proven and comparably compact M8x1-interface. All new components dispose of a reliable 360°-shielding according to IEC 61076-2-104 standard. The typical EtherCAT P black-red cable is UL-approved adapted for trouble-free applications on the North American market.

EtherCAT P is an extension of the EtherCAT-technology facilitating the use of the four-wire standard cable not only for data transmission but also for power supply leading to a cost-effective and compact wiring as well as low system budget. The recently developed P-coding averts accidental connection of standard-EtherCAT-slaves. In order to enable high availability and performance, ESCHA has made a point of details throughout the entire development process. For example, the shielding connection, the 360°-shielding concept and the wire connection. The new EtherCAT P-connectors comprise so much knowledge that it is not only about another coding but an entirely new development.

At Market launch, ESCHA offers a comprehensive EtherCAT P-program consisting of connection- and junction cables as well as matching receptacles respectively available in straight or angled housing styles as male or female versions. All components are adapted for a power transmission of up to 4A at concurrent Fast-Ethernet-transmission up to 100Mbit/s. The black-red cable is available as AWG22- and AWG24-variants. For all EtherCAT-standard applications, ESCHA has four-pole M8x1-connectors with A-coding, four-pole M12x1-connectors with D-coding as well as RJ45-connectors on offer.
