Main Product Categories
The P+F connection technology portfolio covers all needs of industrial automation:
1. Sensor and Actuator Cables and Connectors
The basis is the international standards M8 and M12. These cables are optimized for harsh conditions:
-
Sheathing: (PVC, PUR, PUR Automotive, POC) for resistance to mechanical, chemical, and thermal stress (e.g., welding zones).
-
Options: Various lengths, colors, UL-certification, and LED indicators. M23, 1/2", 7/8" connections are also available.
2. Field-Attachable Connectors
They provide flexibility, allowing you to create the required cable length directly on site:
-
Design: Metal or plastic, straight or angled.
-
Connection: Screw or IDC for fast installation.
-
Types: M8, M12, and other common threads.
3. Valve Connectors
Specialized connectors complying with the DIN EN 175301-803 standard:
-
Reliability: Resistance to oils/greases, wide temperature range.
-
Functionality: With surge suppression, varying pole numbers, and indication.
4. Passive and Sensor/Actuator Splitters
Simplify installation, minimizing the need for terminal boxes and cables:
-
Passive (Splitters): IP68 encapsulation, combining power supply and signal in a trunk cable.
-
Sensor/Actuator: For cost-effective connection of numerous devices (Y/T-forms) and bus loop-through wiring.
5. Panel Receptacles and Bulk Raw Cable
-
Panel Receptacles: Wide selection (M12, M8), IP67/68, various mounting options (front/rear).
-
Bulk Raw Cable: Industrial quality, European manufactured (100-meter rings or smaller lengths), compatible with field-attachable connectors.
