Siemon - High performance network connectors for harsh environments

The fully-sealed, high performance Industrial MAX harsh environment connector system, for use in OEM applications in both standard and custom network interfaces, has been announced by Siemon.

The Industrial MAX connector, a waterproof-rated network connector designed for the rigours of harsh environments, is offered in configurations based on industry-standard connectivity encapsulated in a high-impact, chemical-resistant thermoplastic housing. Featuring both plug and outlet components with triple redundant sealing, the housing is immune to dust, temporary immersion, vibration, and temperature extremes. The connector housing employs Siemon's proven, tri-pin bayonet Industrial MAX network connector interface, which has been widely accepted and utilized by end users in the harsh-environment market since 2002.

Siemon's Industrial MAX solution is the first industrial network connector interface to become standardized by ISO/IEC and ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association). Now, the Industrial MAX solution is offered in various common connector interfaces, including PCB mount versions, says the company.
