OverviewL Series connectors are high-density, modular rack & panel connectors supporting mixed-signal, power, coax, data, fiber optic and pneumatic modules. Designed for demanding applications, they provide ruggedized, durable interconnections and enable custom configurations using off-the-shelf modules to shorten lead times.
Features & Benefits- Mixed signal, power, coaxial, data, fiber optic and pneumatic modules
- Power capability up to 250 A (high-current contacts module-dependent)
- Cable-to-chassis and rack & panel mounting options; plastic backshells with strain relief and half-turn quick-disconnect jackscrews
- Float-mountable frames to enable blind mating
- Available configurations compliant with EN45545 and UL E102195 (depending on configuration)
- High configurability and wide module offering due to modular architecture
- Hypertac® hyperboloid contact technology for high reliability and long service life
- Multiple locking devices, hoods and mechanical accessories available
- Module operating temperature range: –55 °C to 125 °C
- Data module compatibility: Cat5e and Cat6A supporting Ethernet and USB 2.0
Design & MechanicalFrames are available in various lengths to accommodate diverse module combinations. Variants range from basic frames (side rails and end caps) to versions with jackscrews, backshells, cable clamps and additional mechanical accessories. The modular building-block approach allows many contact types to be combined into a single frame to meet application-specific requirements.
Contact Technology & PerformanceThe interconnects use Hypertac® hyperboloid contact technology delivering up to 100,000 mating cycles (depending on contact type), low insertion and extraction forces, and strong immunity to shock and vibration. High-current and coaxial contact options are available for demanding power and signal-integrity needs.
