National Instruments FD-11952 Field Serviceable Connector

The FD-11952 from National Instruments is a dependable Field Serviceable M12 male-straight connector for meeting connectivity needs in Industrial Automation Systems. Shielded and with 8 pins, this connector is molded to work with National Instruments DAQ devices to deliver perfect compatibility and high performance. The screw termination on the FD-11952 allows attaching wires using end splices for easy, secure, and efficient connections in many applications.

The FD-11952 is built to IP67 standards and, providing it is suitably plugged and screwed down, it should provide excellent protection against both dust and water ingress. The robust construction makes it reliable in harsh environments, assuring an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The FD-11952 is designed to be easy to use and requires only 0.6 Nm torque to secure it tightly. Besides, it allows installation using a wrench size A/F 18, which is quite practical in field applications.

Electrically, it features up to a nominal voltage of 30V AC/DC and 2A of maximum rated current per contact, hence suitable for low voltage applications within industrial surroundings. It is designed to withstand the effects of a rated impulse voltage of 0.8 kV and also meets the requirements of Pollution Degree 3, Category III material group in accordance with IEC 60664-1. With these features, it ensures that the FD-11952 offers safe operation with high reliability even in the most unfavorable conditions.

The FD-11952 allows for conductor cross-sections up to 0.5 mm² and cable jacket diameters from 6.0 mm to 8.0 mm, thus allowing a range of wiring configurations. For enhanced safety and convenience, the FD-11952 has an insulation tube to make connections secure and efficient.

The FD-11952 has a field-serviceable design and fits data acquisition and industrial automation applications perfectly, providing rapid on-site repair or adjustment. By reducing downtime and maintenance costs, the FD-11952 provides another good resource for professional operational management. This environmental concern is further reflected in its RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory needs.
