binder USA's new PBC15 Power Bayonet Connector is designed for power supply and signal linking of devices via a single cable. The size of the connector is correspondant to an M15 thread, effectively bridging the gap between M12 and M23 for power supply applications. The PBC15 is also designed for easy wiring and installation with a quick-locking system. The compact PBC15 is ideal for power supply to 3-phase motors or frequency converters. Its three power pins supply the three live phases of a 3-phase motor with two additional pins for signal transmission, as well as a Protective Earth (PE) contact. Shieldable variants of the PBC15 are well suited to environments with electromagnetic interference (EMI). With rated values of 63 V and 10 A, the connector's signal pins can be used, for example, to control brakes or to query operating parameters such as temperatures. Applications include automation technology, machine engineering, and warehousing intralogistics.
