Enhanced M12 Connector Design Reduces Assembly Time

Camarillo, CA, July 14, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Binder-USA announces a design enhancement for the M12 shielded connectors within the 713, 715 and 825 series. This revised version reduces the amount of loose parts and reduces the number of assembly steps from 8 to 6 ensuring a quick and easy assembly.

These improvements are made possible by preassembling the insulation sleeve inside the metal housing and by securing the o-ring to the shielding ring. These series are available with up to 12 contacts and will accept a cable with an outer diameter of up to 8mm. The new design will be phased in as existing inventory is depleted. Part numbers will remain unchanged.

Binder-USA, LP is a subsidiary of Franz Binder GmbH & Co., a German based designer and manufacturer of circular connectors and cordsets for use in industrial environments including factory automation, process control, and medical technology applications.
