Straight Male Connectors with LED
13/14 – Turck is the first manufacturer to offer straight male connectors with three LEDs
Mülheim, October 21, 2014 – Turck is adding straight M12 male connectors with three LEDs to its connectivity portfolio. As only angled LED connectors were previously available on the market, Turck is the first manufacturer to close the gap here. LED indication on the connector is often indispensable for the direct detection of faults in the field.
With straight male connectors, the indication of sensor switching states in the field is always clear – irrespective of the particular mounting position. Applications in the automotive industry frequently require male connectors that show the actual switching state via LED. However, the frequently restricted mounting conditions often only allow the use of straight connectors.
The 5-pole male connectors are provided with three LEDs. A green one used as a Power LED and a yellow one for channel 1 (Pin 4). The third LED for channel 2 (Pin 2) is either red or white. Turck offers standard connection cables with a female connector at one end in cable lengths of 2, 5 and 10 meters, as well as connection cables with male and female connectors in lengths of 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2 meters. Other lengths are available on request.
