must withstand extremes of temperature, vibration, and shock,
the Scorpion series is an ideal solution for robotic designs.
The machined contacts feature several options optimized for
the demands of industrial applications. The Scorpion's female
contacts can be provided with patented PosiBand technology from
Amphenol Positronic. This closed-entry contact delivers excellent
reliability, resistance to vibration, and a high current rating.
The compact cross-section of the machined contacts enables
a higher number of contacts in a connector housing compared
to blade-style contacts. With more contacts per unit area,
Scorpion connectors provide high power and signal density
for applications with limited board space for connectors.
This exceptional performance, design flexibility, and
greater operational reliability make the Scorpion system an
appealing connector for the industrial robot market.
Conclusion
High-performance connectors are essential when creating the
next generation of AMRs. Providing the link among sensors,
batteries, and communication systems, these connector systems
must be lightweight and compact while delivering reliability
and performance. Whether designers are creating robots to
function in a lights-off warehouse, handle repetitive tasks on
the factory floor, or help farmers maximize their productivity,
connectors allow the integration of technology to deliver robots'
full potential, even under the most challenging conditions.
The flexibility of the Amphenol Positronic Scorpion family delivers
precisely the connector engineers need without the cost or delay
imposed by a custom design. Combining high-performance
materials with the reliability and superior current capacity of
Amphenol Positronic's machined contacts, the Scorpion family
is the ideal solution for the latest robotic applications.
