M12 Connector

Connector manufacturer, binder, has

expanded its M12 product family to include

a positionable and lockable M12 male

panel-mounted connector. Standard pan-

el-mount connectors have a fixed contact

insert, limiting the mating connector to a

single fixed position. The company’s M12

connector has a separate contact body,

allowing it to be positioned where users

want the mating right-angle cable connec-

tor. This feature allows users to keep the

cable from obstructing other connections

or devices on the panel. Additionally, the

contact body is prewired with 24 AWG

wires and is available with 4, 5 or 8 con-

tacts. They carry a rated voltage of 250V,

60V or 30V with gold contact plating and

an IP68 rating in a mated condition.

IIoT

IIoT Gateway

Newark element14 announced the summer

2019 availability of the Avnet SmartEdge

Industrial IoT Gateway, a low-cost industrial

gateway powered by Raspberry Pi. Con-

nected to the cloud through Avnet’s IoT

Connect platform running on Microsoft

Azure, connection options include CAN-

BUS and RS-232/ 485 interfaces, isolated

digital I/O, dual 10/100 Ethernet, WiFi at

2.4 GHz and BLE 4.2 via an integrated

antenna, plus an mPCIe interface for cellu-

lar modems. Power is via a 12-24 VDC input

with HDMI display output incorporated. It

is based on an 8 Gbyte EMMC which

replaces the standard SD memory card,

with security guaranteed by an onboard

TPM 2.0. The device also has the

40-pin expansion

header to link with a

range of devices

from the ecosys-

tem of HATs and

other accessories.

Mounting options

include DIN rail, wall or

free-standing.

Industrial Wireless

Antaira Technologies introduced its AMS-2111 Series, a line of

industrial wireless routers, designed for industrial and enterprise

wireless access applications. Embedded with the Qualcomm/Atheros

AR9331 chipset, the access points support IEEE 802.11 b/g/n with data

transmission of up to 150MBps. The series is capable of operating in

different modes which makes it suitable for a wide variety of wireless

applications including long-distance deployments. The unit also allows the user

to position the wireless antenna in a better signal-broadcasting location for improved

wireless coverage and signal strength or simply for a more convenient location.
