Heavy construction equipment operates in some of the toughest environments. Operating conditions include UV rays, wide swings in temperature and humidity, rain, caustic chemical and particulate ingress, continuous use demands, rugged terrain and, of course, constant pounding stress and vibration. Keeping heavy-duty industrial equipment operational and keeping repair and replacement downtime to a minimum are critical considerations for both design engineers and maintenance teams.
Connector Impact
High vibration is particularly challenging to construction equipment electronics, especially electrical connectors. During heavy-duty industrial applications, connectors can become loose or pull apart from the effects of continuous vibration. Even one particle of dust or drop of water or fluid into the electronic connection could shut down a rugged vehicle or critical equipment. And they must perform, often continuously, for many hours, days and months at a time. A strong, durable connection must be maintained, or the equipment shuts down. And downtime = lost production = lost profits.
Specially designed heavy-duty industrial connectors constructed from durable materials featuring tight locking mechanisms and added cable strain relief protections can withstand these challenges and maximize equipment and machinery uptime.
Featured Heavy-Duty Connector Solution
Standard threaded screw locks, reverse bayonet and twist lock configurations, among many other available locking styles, resist vibration in the most demanding transportation and construction applications.
For my customers, who face these extreme operating conditions every day, I have recommended Amerline products. Specifically their VG95234 Reverse Bayonet connectors.
Reverse bayonet connectors share many of the features of threaded 5015 connectors. Same insert arrangements, durable plating and accessories plus added benefit of a more vibration-proof coupling.
Bayonet couplings, also known as “quick-disconnect”, enable complete coupling or decoupling with a quick one-third turn of the coupling ring. This makes in-field installation, repair and replacement quick and easy.
The durable VG95234 Reverse Bayonet connector not only holds up to continuous pounding and vibration. They also perform reliably in high-heat, cold environments, rain and dusty conditions. Select design features include:
- Operating Temperature -67°F (-55℃) to +257°F (+125℃)
- 500 cycles of mating / unmating
- Solder contacts
- RoHS compliant
