L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand and a supplier of wired and wireless connectivity products, has officially announced the introduction of Bulgin circular connectors across its inventory, including circular power, data, as well as RF connectors and antennas.
According to certain reports, these new premium connectors arrive on the scene bearing an ability to thrive in the harshest of environments, all while boasting IP66, IP68, and IP69K ratings to completely seal out dirt, dust, and water.
Complementing this would be an assortment of secure locking mechanisms that, on their part, prevent accidental disconnections to ensure uninterrupted operation. More on that would reveal how these connectors effectively deliver exceptional performance across diverse sectors, including industrial automation, manufacturing, marine/wastewater, transportation, food processing, and medical.
“This strategic expansion of Bulgin’s high-performance connectivity solutions into L-com’s portfolio demonstrates our commitment to providing comprehensive harsh environment connectivity options across our brand portfolio,” said David Quinn, President, Electronic Components and Assemblies BU at Infinite Electronics. “By combining Bulgin’s expertise in harsh-environment connectors with L-com’s delivery capabilities and customer service, we’re providing greater value to our customers while accelerating our growth in specialized connectivity markets.”
Talk about L-com’s new products on a slightly deeper level, we begin from 400 Series Power and Data Connectors and Antennas, a variant which is designed to offer versatile power and data connectors in multiple mounting styles with various pin configurations handling 50 to 250 volts. Furthermore, the technology packs together USB connectors, IP68/IP69K-rated omnidirectional antennas, covering 440 MHz to 2.5 GHz frequencies, along with comprehensive accessories for termination and assembly.
Next up, we have 900 Series Power Connectors that bring forth robust performance in harsh environments with flexible mounting options (inline, panel or flange) to support various AC services up to 600 volts/32 amps across six pin-count options, including flexible designs, strain-relief clamps, and glove-friendly locking rings, with sealing caps and cable glands also available.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in L-com’s 6000 Series Power and Data Connectors that pack together versatile power and data connectors in inline or panel-mount designs, featuring a secure push/pull coupling system with 30-degree twist locking. The line markedly offers pin-count options for 2 to 22 contacts to handle up to 16 amps and 277 volts, whereas on the other hand, USB 2.0 connectors support 1.5 to 480 Mbps with damage-preventing alignment indicators.
This line also contains chemical-resistant, flame-retardant Ethernet connectors with Cat 5e and Cat 6a shielded couplers.
Rounding up highlights would be the Standard Series Power and Data Connectors that offer power and data connectors in three mounting styles to deliver around 50 to 277 volts and 1 to 12 amps across eight pin configurations (2 to 25 contacts). Alongside this, we have Ethernet and USB Type A/B options, such as compatible sealing caps and cable glands.
“Our expanded lineup of circular power, data and RF connectors delivers the durability and reliability Bulgin is renowned for,” said German Casillas, Managing Director at Bulgin. “With superior ingress protection ratings, these connectors excel in harsh environments like industrial facilities and outdoor installations. Their secure locking mechanisms prevent critical disconnections, ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical applications. This launch exemplifies L-com’s commitment to offering urgent, comprehensive solutions that address our customers’ biggest challenges.”
