TE Connectivity Industrial Mini I/O Field Installable Connector Cat5

Field installable technology enable easy, quick and error free installation

With its innovative IDC termination, it decreases the time usually needed to terminate the wires by soldering

TE Connectivity’s Industrial Mini I/O connector system is a compact, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board solution for reliable serial, bus and Ethernet connections in industrial applications. With only one quarter the size of conventional RJ45 plugs, the Industrial Mini I/O connector provides critical space saving on a PCB – space that can now be used more efficiently. Mini I/O Field Installable cable connector (3 parts) allows easy, quick and error free installation without the need for tools and wire length preparation.

The connector automatically cuts off the wire at the optimal length during contacting, guaranteeing optimal (Cat5) transmission performance. TE’s Industrial Mini I/O solution has been designed for the stringent demands of industrial environments.

Features

  • Consists of only three parts: Termination unit and outer housing and nut
  • Toolless Installation: Standard tools can be used as assembly aid
  • Integrated wire termination and wire cut off
  • Rugged die casted housing for optimal protection and shielding
  • Small form factor reduces PCB area and equipment height
  • 2 unique keying styles (Type 1 / Type 2) to prevent mismating

Applications

  • DIN rail equipment: I/O, PLC
  • Motor drives
  • Robotics
  • Other Ethernet application in shock and vibration prone environments (e.g. field devices with Ethernet connectivity) or in the need of space saving (compared to RJ45)

 

Benefits

  • Field installable technology enable easy, quick and error free installation
  • With its innovative IDC termination, it decreases the time usually needed to terminate the wires by soldering
  • With only 25% of the size of a conventional RJ45, TE’s Industrial Mini I/O solution allows you to save on valuable boards space
  • EMI and Signal Integrity are optimized by the signal path design and the 360 degrees shielding brings in next generations to Cat6A performance
  • High retention of the board connectors, combined with a compact metal latching mechanism prevents accidental pull or unmating, reducing potential system down time
  • Allows latch activation in high density applications
