Automation Sensors

The Power of Collaboration to Miniaturize Position, Safety, and Vision Sensors

The new scanners needed to be smaller and lighter than the previous generation yet maintain  a high level of performance. To accomplish this, the customers need a reliable, cost-efficient connector solution that optimizes the sensor size and can be engineered more efficiently. Right-angle connectors help them to reduce the size, improve the weight, and upgrade the performance of position, safety, and vision sensors. 

What You Will Learn

Learn more about the features of the M12 right-angle connector
that helped them achieve improvement in size, weight, and performance,
including: 
  • Mid-plane design that reduces the necessary height by 10 mm.
  • Lead-free reflow compatibility.
  • Enhancing printed circuit board (PCB) real estate within the scanner, resulting in smaller and more efficient sensors.
  • Reduced assembly costs by using a reflow soldering process, virtually eliminating the need for an additional soldering step.
