HUMMEL FAQs
What should I look for in a connector for automation applications?
Connectors for automation need to meet four key criteria:
- High transmission capability
Modern automated systems demand strong power, signal, and data transmission, increasingly including industrial Ethernet for Industry 4.0 connectivity.
2. Robustness and reliability
Automation technology operates across a wide range of environments, from outdoor installations to industrial settings where temperatures can exceed 100°C, so connectors must maintain a secure connection under demanding conditions.
3. Compact design
Automated systems need to be as space-efficient as possible, so smaller connectors that fit into tight layouts are preferable.
4. Hybrid connector capability
A single hybrid connector can carry power, data, and signals through one cable, reducing space, cost, and installation time compared to multiple single-purpose components.
How do I choose the right HUMMEL connector or cable gland for my application?
The right product depends on your industry and specific requirements, including temperature range, thread type and length, sealing material, clamping range, and required ingress protection.
Our technical team can advise on all of these factors, including part number identification and cross-referencing. Contact us on 01744 815 001 or complete an enquiry form and we’ll get back to you.
