Treotham has released the smallest M12L connector available on the market, the Lapp EPIC POWER power connector.

Boasting the ability to be powered up to 16A, the technical properties of the connectors were simulated using virtual models and virtually put through their paces, even before the first 3D printed model was created.

The EPIC POWER M12L connector is ideal, for example, for small robots, so-called “cobots”, which act together with people in production or in the warehouse. Another application field is automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Use in I/O modules for PROFINET is another big field of application for the EPIC POWER M12L connector.

To date, 7/8″ connectors have been the standard power interface for the sensor/actuator control cabinet. The change from the old standard to the M12L enables boxes to be reduced in size by over 50%. The PNO has defined the M12 L-coded as the interface for the power supply for all PROFINET applications. This is the set standard for PROFINET devices such as intelligent motors or I/O modules. The M12 L coding offers the ideal conditions for this.

Treotham also offers other additions to suit the EPIC POWER M12L series: an EPIC POWER M12L D6 coupling connector, an EPIC POWER M12L G4 panel-mount base, an EPIC POWER M12L F6 cable connector and the EPIC POWER M12L A4 panel-mount base. All variants are also available with solder contacts as an option. There are also EPIC POWER M12L contacts with multiple slots and marking of the conductor cross-section to ensure maximum contact from the plug connection.
