SHORTRON connect – small & robust

Quick and simple
Beside the costs, time also plays an important role in the planning of projects. SHORTRON connect with direct M12 connection enables a simple, fast and, above all, safe installation of the pushbuttons and switches, because the M12 connection technology is designed in such a way that a reverse or incorrect polarity of the connections is not possible - based on the plug & work principle: plug in and start. In addition, no separate contact element is being needed as it already is integrated in the switch.

Completey protected
For the use of SHORTRON connect, an expensive and time-consuming installation of an enclosure is no longer necessary as the IP65 / IP67 protection degree provides a reliable protection against water and dust, in the front as well as on the rear. This principle not only saves costs but also space, especially if the ergonomic SHORTRON connect mounting brackets are being used. They are designed for a simple and quick assembly on 40 mm profiles. By means of the 90° mounting bracket for vertical mounting, as well as the 135° mounting bracket for horizontal mounting, the pushbuttons and switches can be placed and organised as per customer's requirement. Also existing workstations can be expanded in the simplest way. For this purpose mounting brackets in three different versions with 1, 2 or 3 holes are available.

Small with design
With a mounting depth of only 33.7 mm (emergency stop 26.7 mm), SHORTRON connect also has the typical compact design of the product family and is therefore ideally suitable for the use in machines, panels and operating units that are increasingly becoming smaller. It has also been taken care to maintain the familiar flat and attractive design of the series, so in addition to the silver-coloured and black front rings also the exclusive version with stainless steel front ring is available.

Efficient and flexible
The series SHORTRON connect comprises a pilot light, pushbuttons, pushbuttons with ring illumnation, selector and key switches and an emergency-stop. Lenses in different colours or nameplates are available for the illuminated pushbuttons and they can be exchanged at any time, even in mounted condition. The contact types of the pushbuttons and switches with 4-pole M12 connector range from a single NO contact to 1NC / 1NO up to 2 NO. The emergency-stop is available with 2 NC (4-pole, 5-pole with AIDA pin assignment) or with 2 NC / 1 NO (5-pole). All M12 connectors are A-coded. The selector and key switches are available with 2 or 3 switching positions and with maintained or momentary function. The electrical characteristics range from an operating voltage of max. Ue 35 V and operating currents between Ie 2...4 A, depending on the version.
