Protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

Latching connectors with one latching lever quickly disconnect with one hand. Connectors with two latching levers don’t need as much room to unlatch as connectors with one latching lever and are best for tight spaces.

Latching connectors with cord grips secure cable and protect it from strain. Choose connectors with two cord grips to create a disconnection point on curved or compact equipment that cannot have a panel cutout.

NEMA 4X rated connectors protect against washdowns. NEMA 12 rated connectors resist oil/coolant dripping. IP65 rated connectors protect against dust and rinsing. IP66 rated connectors protect against washdowns.

Rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65, connectors protect against corrosion, washdowns, oil/coolant dripping, and water projected from a nozzle. They have a rubber seal and stainless steel hardware for excellent chemical resistance. Use them to protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely, yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

Use these connectors with servomotor, servocontrollers, and servodrives in automated equipment and assembly lines. Rated NEMA 4X, IP67, and IP69K, they resist corrosion and protect against high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. When mating connectors, the gender, housing thread location, and pole layout must be opposite. Poles are numbered on the face of the connector.

Signal connectors communicate between servocontrollers, servodrives, and servomotors.

Connect wires to your circuit board with these Molex KK push-in connectors. A good choice for prototyping, they require less force to disassemble than Amphenol PV connectors. However, this means that they are less secure in more demanding applications.

For a complete connection, choose a plug and housing with the number of poles that matches the number of wires you need to connect. You’ll also need one sleeve for each wire.

Plugs have a friction clip to securely hold the housing when mated. They also have an alignment key that ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can’t get a good look during installation. To install the plug on your circuit board, push the contacts through the board’s holes and solder them in place. The pins are gold-plated brass, so they resist corrosion better than tin- or nickel-plated pins. This means they’ll have a good, long-lasting electrical connection.

Insertion tools (sold separately) are helpful for assembling small wires.

Extraction tools (sold separately) release the locking mechanism on sleeves to remove them from housings.

Connect wires to circuit boards with Molex Mini-Fit push-in connectors. These connectors are easier to detach than Amphenol PV connectors, so they’re often used for prototyping. A complete connector consists of a sleeve housing, sleeves, and a circuit board plug (all sold separately). To assemble these connectors, crimp sleeves onto your wires, then place them inside a sleeve housing. Once you’ve wired the sleeve housing, slide it onto a circuit board plug.

Plugs have an alignment key that ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can’t get a good look during installation. A locking tab holds the housing and plug together once they’re mated. To install the plug on your circuit board, push the contacts through the board’s holes and solder them in place. All plugs have gold-plated brass pins, which are more corrosion resistant than tin- or nickel-plated pins, so the electrical connection lasts longer. Plugs with snap-in pegs relieve stress on the terminal when plugging and unplugging wires.
