Punch down and earth strap for connector
The RJ-LnxxT IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ-45 connectors, available in the UK from Aerco, are now available with IDC punch down and earth strap terminations.
When the D4 series is actuated an integrated magnet passes a Hall effect IC that causes an output signal that can be used in all applications requiring long life and reliability such as joystick sensing, pedal position sensing and lid and door interlocks.
Available with either a button actuator or a choice of stainless steel levers the D4 series provides alternative actuator positions to allow the user to select the ideal operating force and travel distance for the application.
Operating from a supply voltage of 4.5 to 24V DC with a maximum supply current of 15mA the D4 series accepts AMP connector 10224-1 or equivalent and is UL recognised.
