Both come with the M12 interlock as standard and they protect to IP67 and IP68 and are designed for more than 100 mating cycles. The operational temperature range is -25 °C to +85 °C.

Taking the S-coded connectors, first – they are part of binder’s 814 Series and are for use in AC supplies up to 630 VAC. They have a PE lead and can transmit, in the two-phase or three-phase version, power of up to 7.5 kW.

The power connectors of the 814 Series are ideal for applications such as AC motors and drives, motor load switches and frequency converters, says binder.

The T-coded connectors of binder’s 813 Series are intended for DC voltages up to 63 VDC at 12 A. They are suited for use as power connectors for fieldbus or Ethernet applications such as Profinet.

They can also be used to supply DC motors and drives or other power-hungry components with up to 750W, adds the company.

The Series 813 connectors have four gold-plated contacts while the Series 814 plugs have two and three gold-plated contacts and one pre-mating PE contact. They are available in both straight and right-angle versions.
