Lumberg Automation shielded railway connectors

The Lumberg Automation range of shielded railway connectors are designed for use in trains.

Offering vibration-proof M12 connection technology, industry protection class IP67 and a temperature range of -40 to 90°C, they are suitable for harsh environmental conditions.

Simple to install, the connectors are offered as moulded ProfiNet or field-attachable versions. Individual lengths of cable are optionally available for the field-attachable connectors, meaning they can be employed in a range of solutions. Possible applications include the networking of control modules for doors and air conditioning in trains. The shielded railway connectors can also be used in combination with IP cameras or infotainment systems.

Complying with EN 50155, IEC 61373 and DIN CLC/TS 50467 railway standards, the M12 connectors have four poles in D coding. The field-attachable versions have threaded joints and spring-type terminals enabling simple assembly. The moulded versions are available with single- or double-ended ProfiNet cordsets. They have Cat 5 and Cat 5e transmission characteristics in line with ISO IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-B.2

While the housings of the moulded connectors are made of PA plastic, those of the field-attachable versions consist of nickel-plated, die-cast zinc. The optionally available individual lengths of cable consist of irradiated, halogen-free polymer (FRNC) with a cross-section diameter of 22 AWG. The ProfiNet cable sets with moulded connectors are offered in lengths of 2, 5 or 10 m. Other cable lengths can be provided on request.
