EPIC CIRCON M23 Series Circular Signal Connectors CIRCON M23 circular signal connectors are designed to DIN specification EN61984 and have a standard M23 threaded connection housing. They are offered in coupler, connector, and panel mount configurations that satisfy simple cable-to-cable and cable-to-machine requirements. They are ideal for control signal transmission and servo drive encoder feedback applications in the plastics, printing, analytical instrument, robotic, and machine tool industries, and any other industrial or commercial application where a compact, rugged connector is required. 800-774-3539 www.lappusa.com www.lappcanada.com www.lappmexico.com EPIC CIRCON M23 Series Technical Specifications Equipment Description Cap Nut EPIC CIRCON M23 Connectors are available in 3 housing arrangements that can accommodate 3 different Lamellar Cable Clamp insert keying positions. Inserts are offered in 7 contact & Seal configurations for mounting male or female, crimp or EMC Shield solder contacts. Common to all arrangements are a rugged Ring nickel plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and Insulation sleeve, and gold plated electrical contacts. Cable mounted Sleeve arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and cable clamp and seal. The figure to the right shows Insert with Contacts the general construction of these connectors. Connector The connectors are offered with insert configurations for 6, Body & Coupling Nut 7, 8+1, 9, 12, 16, and 17 crimp or solder contacts in either Marking a clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation. Used in Ring combination, they connect one cable with another (cable coupler) or a cable to fixed wiring in a control enclosure or on a machine, instrument, or servo motor. Panel Mount Base with Features & Benefits Vibration Protection Ring Coding Rings & Panel Seal Blue= +20 degrees The new M23 connectors have many inherent features Red= -20 degrees which offer application advantages and provide significant Black= 0 degrees benefits for the customer. These features make it one of Insert with the most application friendly connectors available, and Contacts insure quick and easy assembly, high reliability, and long, uninterrupted service life in tough industrial environments.
