There has been a growing trend of automated production facilities, with the aim to improve productivity, production quality and cost efficiency, which is accelerating the implementation of robots and automated machines. As co-bots are increasing in popularity, the requirements for more compact, lightweight and low-cost equipment are a necessity in the market. Along with these growing trends, there are demands for connectors that are not only compact and lightweight, but capable of reducing the number of cables by combining multiple interfaces required to operate these equipment.
To cater to these market requirements, JAE has developed the KN02 Series, an all-plastic combo-type rectangular connector with an EMI countermeasure.
The KN02 Series´ all-plastic shell allows the connector to be lightweight while providing an enhanced shielding performance with a metal plating on the outer plastic shell.
In addition, the outer shell adopts a one-touch locking mechanism with an integral molded lock spring that allows for superior unmating function while it remains reliable for use in shock and vibration environments.
All-plastic outer shell, light-weight and low-cost connector
EMI shielding with a metal plating applied to outer shell and internally shield components
Easy-to-operate, secure one-touch push-in locking structure
Arrangement of insulator block and insertion orientation allows for optimum pin count and arrangements
Insulator with EMI shielding as an option, to allow for a combination of power and signal lines within a single connector
Plug available in straight and right-angle types
Angle plug optional in 8 cable orientation
