Shortron Connect with M12 connection
Description
Georg Schlegel GmbH & Co. KG is expanding its SHORTRON family with a variant featuring an M12 connection attached directly to the actuator. SHORTRON Connect thus meets the growing demand for compact, industrial-grade M12 solutions.
Quick and easy
In addition to costs, time and safety are also important factors in project planning. SHORTRON Connect enables simple, quick, and error-free installation, as the M12 locking technology prevents reverse polarity – in line with the Plug&Work principle: plug it in and get started. No additional contact element is required, as it is already integrated into the switch.
All-round protection
There is no need for a separate housing, as the IP65/IP67 protection classes offer protection against water and dust from both the front and rear. This saves costs and space – especially with the ergonomic mounting brackets for 40 mm profile rails. With 90° brackets for vertical mounting and 135° brackets for horizontal mounting, actuators can be positioned flexibly or existing operating stations can be expanded. For this purpose, the mounting brackets are available in three different versions, each with 1, 2, or 3 mounting holes.
Small with style
With an installation depth of just 33.7 mm (emergency stop 26.7 mm), SHORTRON Connect remains extremely compact and is ideal for machines, panels, and control units with limited space. The familiar flat design has been retained. Front frames are available in silver, black, or stainless steel.
Powerful and versatile
The range includes an indicator light, pushbuttons, illuminated ring pushbuttons, selector and key switches, and an emergency stop.
For illuminated devices, different colored button caps or identification plates are available, which can also be changed when installed.
The switches with 4-pin M12 connection are available as normally open, normally closed/normally open, or double normally open.
The emergency stop is available as a double normally open (4- or 5-pin with AIDA assignment) or as a double normally open with normally open (5-pin). All M12 connections are A-coded.
The selector and key switches are available with 2 or 3 switching positions, latching or momentary.
The electrical characteristics: Ue up to 35 V, le 2–4 A depending on the version.
