Engineering the Future of Decentralised Automation: The binder B23 Hybrid Series Connectors As industrial architectures shift away from centralised control cabinets toward decentralised, modular systems, the hardware in the field has to work harder. The "cable spaghetti" of the past is no longer sustainable for modern high-performance drive technology. Today, has introduced the B23 connector—a high-performance hybrid solution specifically engineered to bridge the gap between high power density and reliable data transmission in a single interface. The Technical Challenge: Power vs. Signal Integrity Combining high voltage/current with sensitive Ethernet data in a compact footprint is an EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) minefield. Our engineers solved this through innovative design: * Optimised EMC Shielding: Ensures interference-free data transmission even when sharing the interface with high-load power lines. * High Power Density: Capable of delivering up to 28 A at 630 V, making it robust enough for heavy-duty servo motors and drive systems. * High-Speed Data: Shielded Ethernet/EtherCAT according to Cat5, supporting transmission rates up to 100 Mbit/s. Built for the Field: Screw Clamp & Bayonet Locking One of the most significant advantages of the B23 series is its field-attachable design. * No Special Tools: Unlike many solutions that require specific (and expensive) crimping tools, the B23 utilises screw clamp termination. This allows for rapid assembly and easier maintenance directly on the machine. * Secure Connection: The bayonet quick-locking system provides a vibration-resistant, secure connection with a simple twist, significantly reducing commissioning time. * Standardisation: Fully compliant with IEC 61076-2-118, ensuring manufacturer-independent compatibility and a future-proof investment for your system architecture. Versatility in Integration Whether you are designing for the device side or the field side, the B23 series offers the flexibility you need: * Field-attachable versions for cable-to-cable connections. * Panel mount connectors for device integration (available with single-wire or THT contacts). "Our new B23 connector is a key building block for One Cable Automation. By setting new standards in efficiency and flexibility, we are helping our partners move toward leaner, control-cabinet-free concepts."— Philipp Zuber, Head of Product Management at binder.
