18 4.0 PREMO-FLEX CABLE JUMPERS • Provide flexible design options for applications requiring connections between PCBs • Feature high-temperature ratings up to +105°C, and terminate to either Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) or non-ZIF connectors. • Compatible with industry-standard ZIF cable thickness requirements, the 0.27mm (0.011") thick Premo-Flex FFC Jumpers are easy-to-assemble, even in highly customized hard-to-reach environments LEARN MORE> QUICK-DISCONNECT TERMINALS • Constructed of tin-plated brass, per NEMA specifications, and are available insulated, non-insulated, or partially insulated. • The Molex Quick-Disconnect (QD) family consists of fully insulated male quick disconnects, Avikrimp fully- insulated quick disconnects, flags, and piggyback quick disconnects. • Fully-insulated male quick disconnects are precision- engineered, allowing the terminal to fit precisely into a female terminal. This splice may be connected and disconnected without damage to the nylon insulation.

Some features to consider when evaluating the various devices, components, and wiring options include: • Ingress Protection (IP) Rating: The IP rating is an international scale in which the first number refers to the amount of protection against solid matter (such as dust particles), while the second number defines the level of protection against liquids. In many places on the food and beverage plant floor an IP67 rating, which indicates the product is dust-tight and protected against the effects of short term immersion, is acceptable. However, an IP69K rating, which means protection against ingress of dust and high temperature, high-pressure water, is ideal in locations where equipment requires careful sanitization. • Stainless Steel Construction: A smooth-surfaced, 316-grade stainless steel connection system helps prevent bacteria growth by limiting the area where it can collect. It stands up to harsh chemicals and high water temperatures without rusting. Additionally, rugged over molds and cable jackets that can endure extreme temperatures provide added protection. • Push-to-lock Technology: Connectors that incorporate a mechanical locking design deliver a secure connection not found with threaded cord sets. Mechanical locking provides built-in reliability, which reduces connector related intermittent signals in the harshest environments. Fewer intermittent signals mean less downtime and better productivity. • DIN Rail Mount/Machine Mount: By moving the Ethernet switches to plant floor devices, manufacturers can save cabinet space, reduce cable costs, and simplify installations. Heavy-duty enclosures protect from water and temperature changes, making them ideal for harsh industrial applications. A well thought migration to Industrial Ethernet will allow food and beverage companies to both retain legacy systems that are still relevant and tap into innovative applications that support future business growth. n
