ISOBUS Connectors With increasing demands on the efficiency in agriculture, precision farming is becoming more and more important. Precision farming stands for the targeted management of utilized agricultural land, e.g. the individual application of fertilizers and plant protection products depending on the position of the utilized land. To ensure the necessary communication between tractor, equipment and agricultural management software, the non-proprietary ISOBUS is used. ISOBUS is specified in standard ISO 11783-2 and describes the BUS including the connectors used with it. To extend the CONEC product range in the field of connection solutions for agricultural and construction machinery, the connectors for ISOBUS are included in the ready-made and overmoulded design. The overmoulded ISOBUS-series is available as male and female version. The contact carrier has the 9-pin contact image required by the standard. At the connection side, the female connector comes with a quick release bayonet locking. Overmoulding offers optimum protection in harsh environments. Currently, two different cable variants are available which are specifically designed for agricultural applications. The cable variants differ in the cross-section of the stranded wires for ground and power with 6 mm² and 10 mm². At the connection side, the female connector comes with a quick release bayonet coupling. CONEC has developed a dust protection cap for the female version and uses it to protect the contact area against dirt and moisture. By default, the dust protection cap is connected to the connector by means of a captive stainless steel rope.
