Hybrid connectors, a specialty of phg. One connector for different media: this saves space and greatly simplifies the handling. The overmoulding of signal and power contacts and hoses for gaseous or liquid media also offers users a great variety in terms of connector and color design. Smooth surfaces for easy cleaning and disinfection. The labelling and logo can be permanently integrated into the injection moulding tool, an important element for customer-specific production.
Hybrid for signals, power and gaseous or liquid media
System and device manufacturers can realize substantial product benefits by well-designed connection technology. What counts here above all is the integration of several functions into one connection to reduce the number of required cables and inlets. At the same time, the handling can be optimized to increase the safety and connection convenience for the user.
Complex functions in compact combination
Classic cable and connector configuration also offers scope for integrated solutions. A perfect example of the performance depth of phg is this elaborately confectioned hybrid cable with lockable multifunctional connector: A connector with two quick couplings for fluid transportation, a coax connector 12 kV, a lamellar connector for safe grounding and a Sub-D connector high density. For safe locking in the device a threaded spindle with a rotary handle for fixation was also integrated into the connector. The housing was designed to include all required parts such as the circuit board, a ferrite ring for interference suppression and supply lines.
