Binder’s new SMD connectors can be found in quite a lot of variations and completely different codings. | Supply: Binder USA

Binder USA LP, a provider of business round connectors, final week introduced that it’s providing connectors from its M12 collection as surface-mount gadgets, or SMDs). It claimed that its SMDs can allow streamlined and automatic processes. 

The Camarillo, Calif.-based firm stated its SMDs are helpful for additional processing in absolutely automated processes, such because the dense, double-sided meeting of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Binder USA stated the options of its M12 SMD connectors embody:

• 4, six, and eight variety of contacts
• A-, B-, D-, and X-coded 
• IP67 safety class
• Compact and straightforward to automate processing, binder says 
• Obtainable in shielded and unshielded variations

Study from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and lots of extra.

Binder USA builds connectors for industrial functions

Binder USA added that its SMD connectors are appropriate for robotics, manufacturing facility and course of automation, instrumentation, sensors, and actuators. The corporate provides them as a set with completely different flange housings, as a built-in half in blister packaging, or in tape and reel packaging for automated processing. 

In distinction to traditional through-hole expertise or through-hole reflow course of, Binder defined that its SMD contact pins are positioned instantly on the floor within the surface-mount expertise (SMT) course of and linked utilizing solder paste as an alternative of inserted by the PCB after which soldered. 

Binder stated this permits for vital area financial savings. For instance, many connectors could be mounted at very small distances in a single aircraft, as is required for passive/lively sensor distributors in automation expertise.
