The M3 connectors have many inherent features which offer application advantages and provide significant benefits for the customer. These features make it one of the most application friendly connectors available, and insure quick and easy assembly, high reliability, and long, uninterrupted service life in tough industrial environments Key features include: Rugged Nickel-plated, die-cast Zinc Body Positive vibration protection for use with motor drives and moving assemblies Integral EMC cable gland provides strain-relief, IP67/IP68 protection, and 360 degree shielding Identification marking field and unique color marking clips provide positive identification and visual differentiation in multiple connector installations. Color-coded keying rings insure correct mating selection in applications where several connectors are mounted in the same location. Equipment Description EPIC CIRCON M3 Connectors are available in 3 housing arrangements that can accommodate 3 different insert keying positions. Inserts are offered in 7 contact configurations for mounting male or female, crimp or solder contacts. Common to all arrangements are a rugged nickel plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and sleeve, and gold plated electrical contacts. Cable mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and cable clamp and seal. The figure to the right shows the general construction of these connectors. The connectors are offered with insert configurations for 6, 7, 8+, 9,, 6, and 7 crimp or solder contacts in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation. Used in combination, they connect one cable with another (cable coupler) or a cable to fixed wiring in a control enclosure or on a machine, instrument, or servo motor.
