Cable connector transfers power in light systems
Molex
Multi-Drop Sealed Connector and Cable System
Molex has launched the Multi-Drop Sealed Connector and Cable System, a modular cable-connector system for the transfer of power and data/signal in a multi-drop configuration.
The system is suitable for lighting and power applications, security systems and sensors in environments such as office buildings, road infrastructure, car parks, public transport, city centres and other public places.
Using cable-pierce technology to deliver a rugged, free-form, pluggable connector string, the Multi-Drop Sealed Connector and Cable System is fully sealed to IP66 and IP67 ratings.
It can be customised to meet specific requirements for internal and external data/signal and power applications, providing customers with greater flexibility when designing their applications.
The system is comprised of multiple connector modules made up of three sections, including top and base housings that are terminated to a multi-core flat cable, and a custom pluggable connector with an interfacial seal.
Retention studs on the top and base housings align the cable module during termination, provide constant compression of the connector on the cable and add strain relief.
Connections can be made on stranded cores of wire of 1.5mm (16 AWG) or greater.
The single termination process allows for quick and easy field termination, and is suitable for applications up to approximately 3A.
Having 50-cycle durability, the pluggable connector can be mated/unmated during installation and for reuse, repair or replacement.
With weather-proof and UV-protected housings, gel-matte and connector interfacial seals, the assembled system is fully sealed and suitable for use in all weather conditions.
