Ultralock ™ Connectors

Molex Brad Ultra-Lock Connectors incorporate a mechanical locking design and a unique radial-seal that deliver unsurpassed performance. The patented push-to-lock technology provides a simple and secure operator-independent connection. This positive locking design provides built-in reliability that eliminates connector related intermittent signals in the harshest environments. Fewer intermittent signals mean less downtime and better productivity. The unique radial o-ring seal design, similar to what is found in hydraulic connectors, provides a more robust protection against water ingress even in high-pressure wash-down environments. Molex Ultra-Lock products include Ultra-Lock cordsets and splitters, panel mount receptacles that accept both Ultra-Lock as well as traditional M12 threaded cordsets, and a range of Ultra-Lock molded, pre-wired passive distribution boxes that simplify wiring of I/O devices. The rugged, IP69K Stainless Steel MPIS® Distribution Box featuring Ultra-Lock connections, withstands corrosive, high-pressure washdowns in Food and Beverage and other sanitised plant-floor applications.

In-line Splitter Connectors

Molex Brad Y-Splitter connectors for industrial use. Molex connectors provide an ideal interconnect solution for heavy-duty and harsh-environment applications. Molex offers a wide range of standard-sealed and custom-sealed interconnect systems.

Jumper Cables

Micro-Change (M12) and Nano-Change industry standard double ended connectors and connection cables are rugged, compact, sealed connectors used for sensor/actuator connectivity in industrial control applications. <ul><li>Male or Female connectors <li>Large range of lengths <li>Straight or right angles connectors <li>PVC or PUR material</li></ul>

Ethernet Cabling
