The Multiline E multiple and multi-media connector for connecting functional groups to robots and machines now has an additional M12 power plug for providing electrical power. The high-performance M12 connector (photo), which features five pins and L-coding, is designed for applications requiring high power density in a compact space. The modular system for combining compressed air, vacuum, gases, coolants, liquids and electrical and electronic signals in one connector body now includes a new insert for voltages up to 63 V a.c./d.c Designed for up to 16 A per pin, the connector is shock-resistant and vibration-proof, as well as reverse-polarity protected and non-twisting. The power plug is used for supplying power to high-power devices, such as linear drives and step motors, or as a power line for fieldbus modules. — Eisele Pneumatics GmbH & Co. KG, Waiblingen, Germany
