PushPull connectors

Kevin Canham, product manager at Harting UK, said: “These new PushPull 20-pin connectors are HARTING's answer to market pressure for signal transmission and miniaturisation requirements.

"By providing twice as many connections as previous models within the same physical dimensions, and transmitting both signals and power over the same cable, users can simplify installations. These connectors save space, reduce complexity and increase reliability.”

Controllers and control units in an industrial plant are equipped with all types of sensors. They measure temperature, colour, shape, weight, size, pressure, and much more. All these sensors must be capable of reliably transmitting their signals to a central control unit concurrently. In order to make a system more cost-effective and efficient, it often makes sense to provide power to control measurement instruments over the same cable over which signals are sent.

In CCTV and security installations, as well as video and audio-visual production environments, the same demands apply. There is a need to simplify connections, make them more robust and save both space and cost.

A signal connector like the new PushPull 20-pole in an industrial environment is robust, easy to handle and can be adapted to customer requirements. HARTING’s new PushPull V4 20-pin version is an ideal solution for all combinations of bus and signal data.
