Belden Launches New M12 Push Pull Connectors
IEC 61076-2-010 M12 Push Pull Connectors Guarantee Secure Contacting
Venlo, The Netherlands - September 19, 2024 - Belden, a leading global supplier of network infrastructure and digitization solutions, today announced the release of its new Lumberg Automation Inner M12 Push Pull Connectors, which conform to International Electrotechnical (IEC) standard 61076-2-010. Featuring a secure, fast-locking contacting method, the M12 Push Pull Connectors are optimal for use in harsh environments to prevent accidental disconnects that cause downtime, disrupt data gathering or create safety hazards.
As enterprises pursue digital transformation, connecting more operational technology (OT) devices and information technology (IT) systems empowers them to collect and transfer more data, promote uptime and gain operational efficiency. The M12 Push Pull Connector answers the call with its simple, secure contacting method and portfolio of X-coded, D-coded and A-coded variants to meet a wide range of industrial and transportation use cases.
The M12 Push Pull Connectors offer powerful benefits, including:
• Innovative new technology that ensures secure contact without tools for torque even in tight spaces, such as on input/output (IO) modules or switches.
• Simplified installation and maintenance by eliminating the need to screw in connectors, which reduces installation time by up to 80%.
• Exceptional ingress protection and vibration resistance to withstand the demands of harsh transportation and industrial environments.
"Today's industrial, transportation and automation environments demand continuous uptime and dependable data collection from OT equipment," said Artjom Bil, Product Manager at Belden. "The M12 Push Pull Connector provides the fast, guaranteed secure contacting enterprises need for reliable connectivity - with no tools or screwing required. The connectors are ideal for tight spaces and use in the field, and meet standards for vibration, salt spray, welding spark, chemical and external force resistance to withstand challenging conditions."
The M12 Push Pull Connector meets the stringent demands of several sectors, including railway rolling stock, harbors, intralogistics organizations, supply chain and material handling operations, and classic automation environments.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
