Segment:
Automation
Situation:
Within industries like food processing and packaging, electrical connections have to comply with strict requirements & standards. For these type of industries, Hummel offers a high performing range of multipole signal & power connectors available as stainless steel version and always guaranteeing a protection of IP67/IP69K. One of Hummel’s strengths in this field is its versatility when it comes to connector designs, contacts and inserts. Out of the wide choice of possibilities, customers select the various components and compose themselves the best connector fit for their application’s requirements. To demonstrate this, one of our customers active in the packaging industry needed an M23 stainless steel, 19 pole, right angle panel connector but didn’t like the regular cable exit.
Solution:
To sufficiently protect power cables and to be consistent with the overall design of the machinery, it preferred a conduit adapter. As Hummel offers the possibility to place an adapter in combination with a conduit on any connector design, the choice for Hummel was easily made!
