Provertha has launched a new tamper-proof connector in the M12 design for applications in industrial automation, especially for encoder housings that are exposed to high vibrations. Thanks to a patented press-fit section, this connector eliminates the disadvantages currently associated with screw-in connectors.

The specially slotted contour of the press-fit section allows significantly greater manufacturing tolerances and a more flexible press-fit section in the enclosure. Customers can configure the 90° cable outlet in their own products in such a way that the enclosures or the plug-in connections do not have to be further adapted in the final assembly of encoders or actuators.

The new Provertha connector enables a vibration-proof connection that is clearly superior to screw connections, especially in the case of high vibration. It is firmly connected to the customer’s enclosure, for example in the case of encoders, and cannot be manipulated by the end customer because – unlike screw connections – it has no width flat. The plug-in connection is extremely resistant to traction and ensures very high retention forces in the customer’s enclosure in a compact design.The new connector supports safe use but also the trend towards customisation. The customer can flexibly choose the direction of the cable outlet and align the connector entirely to the needs of the end customer. The connector with a press-fit flange offers a high degree of reliability during mounting.
