TE Connectivity NECTOR M rugged power connector system

TE Connectivity’s NECTOR M power system series is available now through RS Components. Engineered to provide a pluggable connectivity solution for outdoor and harsh environments, the series is suitable for electrical and lighting installations that require more flexibility or as a reconfigurable plug-and-play alternative to traditional hardwired connections.

The system provides design consistency, with the same size knockout diameter for all position sizes, and offers optimum flexibility, as the circular form factor helps simplify routing and reduces installation time. Connectors feature closed-barrel pin and socket crimped-wire terminals and are available in white and UV-resistant black with positive locking and multiple keying options. The one-connector solution addresses power data and control requirements and provides the ability to engineer, design and build power distribution units, electrical devices and cable assemblies off-site.

The portfolio comprises 3-, 5-, 6- and 7-pole pluggable electrical components for indoor applications with free hanging, panel/chassis-mount, PCB-mount and power splitter solutions. The connectors have operating temperatures between -40°C and 70°C and provide an IP20 seal rating. They are available with an IEC 61535 rating of 7–20 A at 400 VAC and a UL 1977 rating of 10–20 A at 600 VAC.
