Hummel recently completed its M23 range with a hybrid connector series offering a fully integrated solution for Industrial Ethernet applications. This extraordinary hybrid connector allows for the simultaneous transmission of power, signals and Ethernet and can easily reach a speed of 500 Mbits/s. This is achieved thanks to the possibility to connect individual shieldings separately thereby preventing cross talking. The M23 hybrid connector combines data transmission per CAT 5e standards with high power processing upto 28A and 630V.
The Hummel M23 hybrid connector perfectly meets the growing need within the automation industry to simultaneously exchange data and communication between machinery and products. To save space and reduce storage & maintenance costs, more and more of our customers choose hybrid connectors for their application. We foresee that in the near future many of the industrial applications that are still using two or sometimes even three connectors for the same purpose will eventually all switch to an all-in-one hybrid solution.
During the development of the new hybrid connector line, Hummel focussed on manufacturing quality. The line therefore meets the highest requirements on robustness and industrial suitability. It’s vibration & water resistant with a guaranteed protection of IP67 / IP69K. Besides the standard materials, die cast and brass, the new connectors are also available in stainless steel (AISI 316L).
In addition, the new hybrid connector also enables a quick and easy assembly and offers a great deal of flexiblity to choose any housing within the M23 range. This series is available with the classic screw connection or with the ingenious TWILOCK quick-release fastening system.
As you can see, the Hummel M23 hybrid connector has it all and is flexible to meet your specific requirements.
