SO-PCM-OD10.0  Heavy Duty Connectors Pneumatic Module Metal 09140006350

In order to meet the increased demands on industrial interfaces in flexible production applications, SMICO has developed a new pneumatic connector module – the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal. 09140006350

The new module features robust and durable metal contacts and can be plugged/unplugged at least 10,000 times. The new module allows users to take advantage of compressed air control in production plants which are often reconfigured, e.g. in power drives, controls, brakes, holding and unloading devices.

Angled SMICO pneumatic metal contacts allow more space for wiring in the connector housing.

The new interface is characterized by an increased maximum operating pressure. Instead of the previous upper limit of 8 bar (SMICO Pneumatic Module with plastic contacts), the contacts can now withstand a constant pressure of 10 bar, covering the entire “low-pressure” range. This expands the number of possible applications for pluggable compressed air distribution systems.

In addition to SMICO Pneumatic Metal contacts, SMICO also offers pneumatic contacts with angled connections which simplifies the assembly of the pneumatic modules. Where there is little wiring space available in housings, the angled pneumatic contacts ensure that the bending radii of the pneumatic hoses do not fail to meet minimum dimensions.

As a result, malfunctions are prevented during assembly. The angled versions of the pneumatic pin and female contacts for the Metal are also equipped with push-In connection technology.

The angled variants increase the number of housings available for pneumatic applications. Since guide pins and sockets are no longer needed, use in all housings compatible with the SMICO-Modular series is possible, including Eco, Yellock, HA, and HB – with no restrictions.

SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal

Transmitting compressed air with a connector system

SMICO industrial connectors help to simplify the installation, removal, and maintenance of the connecting systems used in industrial facilities. Connectors in
the SMICO-Modular series are particularly versatile. The modules in this series can
be combined together to create many combinations of connectors. Contacts for transmitting electrical power and/or data signals can be positioned alongside contacts for compressed air connections. Ethernet, USB, FireWire, and various standards for coaxial cable networks are among the transmission types that can be used.

Properly prepared compressed air can be transmitted through the connector using the SMICO pneumatic Module Metal. With its blue colouring, the Pneumatic module stands out from the electrical modules. The contact pins and sockets can be used with pneumatic hoses of varying diameters, depending on your requirements. This pneumatic module can be combined with all other modules in the series. In addition to electric power and electrical signals, they can also be used to create pluggable connections that transmit fiber optic signals and compressed air.

Pack contents

The SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal has room for 3 contacts with connections for – Tubes with inner diameter (ID) = 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0 mm

– Tubes with outer diameter (OD) = 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0 mm

At least two modules are required for each plug-in connection, and in addition:

• Han® Pneumatic male contact for ID = 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0 mm / (OD) = 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0 mm (10 pieces per pack)

• SMICO Pneumatic female contact for ID = 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0 mm / (OD) = 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0 mm (10 pieces per pack)

The female contact is available in versions with or without the shut-off function.

Please note the following when determining your order:

• The connecting profile of the contacts used in the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal are either designed for the hose inner or outer diameter.

Users must select the appropriate versions and dimensions for the housing and mounting frame according to the requirements of their connector applications.

The components needed by users to build pluggable systems for compressed air distribution can be found in the SMICO Pneumatic Module Metal and accessories table.
