As an alternative to the widely used screw termination, cage clamp technology enables particularly simple implementation with very little time exposure for customer cable assemblies. binder is now offering its M12 series 713, 715 and 825 with cage clamp quick connection.  

The cost effective and user-friendly screw termination is standard across all manufacturers in the M12 segment and the right solution for a wide range of applications. However, the screw terminal connection requires a comparatively time-consuming process. The installer must use a screwdriver to loosen the respective screw, insert the wire and retighten the screw for each contact pin individually in order to clamp the wire.

As an alternative to the widely used screw termination, the cage clamp technology enables particularly simple implementation with very little time exposure for customer cable assemblies. A user must simply insert the opening tool into the hole provided to release the spring – guide the wire into the contact hole – pull out the opening tool, which causes the spring to clamp the wire. The constant spring force permanently acting on the wire establishes contact and ensures a vibration proof connection that also withstands shock loads. This makes the cage clamp termination recommended for applications that are subject to mechanical loads.

These include the use in machines that are exposed to vibrations caused by motors or manufacturing processes. Another advantage is that most of the components of the connectors, such as the sleeve or pressure screw, are identical to those of the products with screw termination.

The 713, 715 and 825 series of circular connectors from Binder UK Ltd comply with the industry relevant protection degree IP67. Their operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C. They are all equipped with screw locking and are optimised with regard to their EMC properties. These connectors include 4 pin and 5 pin variants - both male and female.
