CDM Electronics Releases Diagnostic Connectors

Recently, CDM Electronics announced the availability of their diagnostic Profibus (Process Field Bus) conncetors from 2E Mechatronic. This leading distributor of commercial and military (MIL-SPEC) interconnect products, and premier provider of value-added contract manufacturing services, is providing high-quality, low-cost alternatives, through their devices, which are now offered by CDM. They are expressly designed to provide fast, safe and reliable terminations in harsh environments. The Profibus D-Sub 9-pin connectors boast a EMI/RFI shielded metal housing, and are sealed to IEC standard IP-20 for employment on communications cables with a high transfer rate of up to 12 Mbaud.

Moreover, the cable-guided IDC connectors are quick and easy to install as bus lines are securely fastened to screw or spring-clamp terminal blocks with only a standard screwdriver. To further enhance the integrity and reliability of the cable connections, they feature a captive single-screw mechanism to ensure that there are no loose parts, and boast a transparent window for visual verification.

CDM`s Profibus connectors may be confidently specified for a wide range of consumer and industrial and automation applications in such markets as automotive, telecom, data communications, and energy. Ideally suited for applications requiring comprehensive test functions to facilitate troubleshooting and fast implementation of a Profibus network, the devices are offered with an integrated diagnostic port for field diagnostic monitors, analyzers, or laptops. Parts without diagnostics are also available.
