STABLE HIGH-SPEED
INTERCONNECTION WITH TE.
As the level of automation in production sequences increases, so does the need for intelligent
controls that can continuously monitor, measure and regulate processes in real time. To enable
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to handle these extensive real-time functions effectively,
TE Connectivity is developing products and solutions that allow a fast, absolutely reliable and interruption-free ﬂow of data, even in large volumes.

THE BASIS FOR INTELLIGENTPROCESS CONTROL. YOU CANRELY ON TE.

FOR GREATER RELIABILITY AND
STABILITY — OUR SOLUTIONS ENSURE
INTERRUPTION-FREE DATA FLOWS.

In industrial automation, PLCs communicate with othercontrol levels, assume monitoring and reporting functions andidentify any process errors that occur. As intelligent entities,
they assume important control functions and, despite the requirements placed on them growing all the time, they are
becoming smaller, faster and more powerful.

At TE we understand the special challenges facing the PLC
market. We know your customers’ requirements and needs
and the importance of constant innovation.

This development is opening up new application options.
And bringing new challenges. As the range of tasks they
have to perform expands, the volume of data they need to
manage is growing signiﬁcantly. This makes high-speed connections vital for ensuring secure and reliable data ﬂows.
TE can offer you the perfect solution for this and other,
future challenges. We are working on connections that are
ever faster, more stable and more compact — to give youprocess control technology that is reliable, effi cient andcost-effective.

SOLUTIONS FOR AUTOMATION /// PLC

To provide you and your customers with the best possible
support, we use next-generation technologies to develop
future-proof products that are more stable, user-friendly
and faster to install. We are committed to growing your success— with reliable connectors that also give you maximum freedom in designing applications.

BRILLIANT TOGETHERWE ARE DRIVEN BY OUR WISH TO KEEP ON
DEVELOPING. THAT’S WHY WE ARE CONSTANTLYWORKING ON INNOVATIVE INTERCONNECT
PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMATICALLY IMPROVINGEXISTING ONES. WE WORK IN TANDEM WITH YOUIN OVERCOMING EVERY CHALLENGE.

THE LATEST GENERATION OF THE
SIGNAL STANDARD IN AUTOMATIONAND CONTROL.
TE’s Industrial Mini I/O connectors are the latest generationof robust contact carriers for interruption-free interconnect
solutions. Our Mini I/O connectors deliver greater vibration
resistance and performance in harsh environments than otherinterconnect systems. They are also far more compact andrequire up to 75% less space versus Industrial RJ45 connectors.
Other key features: The AMPMODU family of connectors
offers a wide range of modular PCB connectors in various
conﬁgurations and centerline spacings — make sure you
beneﬁt from a new benchmark in design ﬂexibility.

TERMINAL BLOCKSAMPMODU
CONNECTORSFLEXIBLE PRINTEDCIRCUIT BOARD
CONNECTORS (FPC)TE´s Terminal Blocks offer design
engineers a reliable connector systemwith a variety of connection styles
and range of centerlines. This solution
is used for various data, signal andpower applications. This offering provides class leading quality and manydifferent design opportunities.

The AMPMODU interconnect systemis the proven TE solution and signal
standard for Automation & Control applications. Designed to reliably and economically meet the packaging and interconnection requirements of today’s
industrial environments. It includes
board-to-board, wire-to-board and wireto-wire connectors. The large varietyof components and application possibilities, combined with small size and outstanding quality, make the AMPMODU
interconnect system ideal for manyindustrial applications and systems.

TE Connectivity’s Flexible Printed
Circuit Board connectors (FPC) are
interconnect solutions that are ideal
where small centerline spacing makes
larger wire-to-board interconnects
impractical. As the market trends towards miniaturization, FPC connectors
have been developed to meet thechallenges of this expanding market,
which demands smaller centerline or
pitch spacing, lower proﬁle heights andlighter interconnect solutions. The TE
Connectivity FPC solutions are reliableinterconnects that utilize an actuator
to secure the cable termination and are
ﬁeld terminable (requires no tooling).

BENEFITS• Mates with industry standard
headers on the same centerline
spacing• Fast wire connections• Custom solutions available

BENEFITS• Unique modular concept,
utilizing precision formed receptacle
contacts and mating posts• Different conﬁguration possibilities
offer design ﬂexibility• Economic and compact design
allows for space saving

CONNECTORSCONNECTORSYSTEM

TE’s Free Height surface-mount connectors are designed for parallel board
stacking applications using subminiature connectors to meet today’s electronic industry requirements for highdensity packaging. These FH connectors ﬁt a broad spectrum of interconnect uses and are ideal for application
downsizing, such as notebook PCs,
scanners, data storage devices, andmany other applications which requireparallel stacked PCBs.

TE’s Industrial Mini I/O Field Installable
connector provides innovative andtime-saving wire-termination while also
serving as a space-saving and reliable
I/O solution for industrial environments.
TE’s Industrial Mini I/O connector isonly one quarter the size of the conventional RJ45 plug and, as a result, provides space saving and the ﬂexibility to
use limited space on the PCB more effectively. Designed with two points ofcontact, this connector is built for thestringent demands of an industrial andhigh vibration environment, enabling
increased productivity through a reliable connection. With its innovativepiercing termination, the Mini I/O Field
Installable version decreases the time
usually needed to terminate the wires
through soldering and, with an easy touse hand tool, ﬁeld assembly in virtually
any environment is now possible.

BENEFITS• Stack heights from 4 mm to 20 mm• 40 — 440 positions• Locating posts for proper
positioning

BENEFITS• Less downtime and reliable
connections due to better vibration
resistance than RJ45
• Space saving of up to 75% versus
Industrial RJ45 connectors andincreased design ﬂexibility• Easy, ﬁeld installable solution

TE Connectivity’s M8/M12 Connector
System for machine industrial automation and control applications provides
a solution that safely and reliably ensurescommunication in industrial environments. TE’s solution includes an extensive connector range of receptacles,
cable assemblies and IO boxes, and provides users with an interface that supports higher bandwidth needs meeting
the requirements of up to 10 Gb/s.
TE’s broad product portfolio provides
customers with shielded and unshieldedcable assembly options in both Cat5eand Cat6A cable types. For re-wiring onsite, a range of ﬁeld serviceable connectors are provided that include maleand female versions in multiple positions and codings. Additional styles areavailable on request including alternative mounting arrangements for panel
mount connectors and double ended
cable assemblies.

D-SUBMINIATURE
CONNECTORSINDUSTRIAL USB
CONNECTORSINDUSTRIAL RJ45
CONNECTORSTE Connectivity, the industry leader in
D-Subminiature solutions, provides acomplete range of quality, time-tested
D-Sub connectors that have become
the standard in the D-Sub industry. Our
complete line of D-Subminiature connectors ranges from Right Angle andVertical Posted connectors and Cable
connectors to the AMPLIMITE .050
Series D-Sub connectors — for any complex application.

TE´s Industrial USB connectors are
ideal for all industrial USB applications
where a high locking force or a sealed
design is required. With the IP20 seriesof Industrial USB connectors that feature an integrated locking mechanismwith audible and tactile feedback, TE
offers an excellent interconnect solution
for internal USB cable routing. The
newly designed locking feature helps
prevent accidental pull-out of the plug,
which enables customers to secure acable internally without having to worry
about the plug coming loose duringtransit and use.

TE´s Industrial Ethernet RJ45 connectors offer a ruggedized design for use in
Industrial Ethernet applications and areequipped with a robust and fast termination technology, utilizing the company’s common core design in the RJ45
Modular Plug Series. This solution canbe applied in the ﬁeld without the needfor any tools. It signiﬁcantly reduces
installation time and costs. It is used in
all of TE’s ﬁ eld installable connector
series, including IP20, ODVA and pushpull connectors. The Variant 14 pushpull connector is available in a plastic or
metal shell, and with its robust termination technology allows fast and ﬂ exible
ﬁeld installation that withstands harsher
industrial environments such as shock,vibration or temperature.
