Due to the current occurrence of infections in Germany and Bavaria, the German connectivity specialist ESCHA had to cancel their attendance in this year’s «SPS smart production solutions» trade-show, taking place in Nuremberg from 23 to 25 November 2021.

At the SPS 2021 in Nuremberg, the German connectivity specialist ESCHA is giving an outlook on the coming trends and technologies that will shape the development of connectors in the coming years. The main focus will be on Single Pair Ethernet technology (SPE).

As sensors are becoming more and more complex and compact, the information density to be transmitted is continuously rising. This development directly influences the connectivity to be used and leads to an increasing demand for connectors that are also compact and multipole at the same time. Therefore, the German connectivity specialist ESCHA extends its M8-connector range by multipole variants with 8 pins. A complete product family consisting of molded single-ended- and double-ended cordsets as well as matching receptacles will be on offer right from the market launch. There are two cable qualities to choose from, which particularly meet the demands of automation industry.

In times of IoT, Industry 4.0 and Big Data a fast and especially reliable data transmission becomes more important.

A new standard called «Type R» defines requirements for Profinet cables used in robotic applications.

The German connectivity specialist ESCHA is well-known for a fast and flexible implementation of current customer requirements to its standard portfolio.

The new field-wireable M12-connectors from ESCHA are extremely compact and therefore particularly suitable for space-critical applications.
