Key issues
Question 1: In industrial automation scenarios, which models should be given priority when selecting RS Pro circular connectors for sensors (with wire cross-sectional area of 0.5-2.5mm ², requiring oil and water resistance)? What auxiliary tools and cable management products need to be matched?
Answer:
(1) Preferred circular connector model
M12 series IP67/IP68 protection level connectors should be selected, with specific models and parameters as follows:
Core model: M12 A code (2-4 cores) or D code (4-8 cores) connector
Key parameters: Rated current 2-5A (matching sensor low current requirements), rated voltage 250V, protection level IP67/IP68 (oil and water resistant), gold-plated contacts (reducing contact resistance, adapting to sensor weak signals)
Installation method: Bend cable installation type (saves space, avoids wire bending damage), shell made of PA66 material (oil resistant, resistant to industrial chemicals)
Recommended model: RS-M12AD4 (4-core, A-code, IP68, 10 pieces/pack)
(2) Matching auxiliary tools and cable management products
Tools: Choose HS-30J professional wire crimping pliers (compatible with 0.5-6mm ² terminals, crimping accuracy ± 0.05mm, ensuring reliable sensor terminal connection)+RS-ST6 automatic wire stripping pliers (wire stripping range 0.2-6mm ², avoiding damage to the wire core during wire stripping);
Cable management products: Choose nylon 66 standard cable ties (width 3.6mm, length 200mm, temperature resistance -40...+105 ° C, fixing sensor cables)+PA material protective hoses (inner diameter 8mm, oil resistant, wrapping sensor wires, enhancing protection).
Question 2: What are the core differences in parameters, materials, and applicable scenarios between RS Pro heavy-duty connectors (such as RS-HD120) and ordinary rectangular connectors (such as RS-6536)? How to choose based on actual needs?
Answer:
(1) Comparison of core differences
Comparison dimension overloaded connector (RS-HD120) ordinary rectangular connector (RS-6536)
Core count range 10-240 cores (single/double layer) 12-48 cores (single layer)
Rated current 10-25A 5-10A
Rated voltage 690V 600V
Protection level IP65/IP67 IP65
Shell material PC (temperature resistance -40...+120 ° C) PA66 (temperature resistance -40...+105 ° C)
Contact material: Copper alloy (tin plated, contact resistance ≤ 10m Ω), brass (nickel plated, contact resistance ≤ 20m Ω)
