In response to increasing digitalisation and connectivity in the rail and transport sectors, Binder is strategically expanding its product portfolio and advancing its M12-X-coded connectors.
Binder product manager, Dieter Sandula, said: “The rail industry and the transport sector are becoming increasingly digital. We are currently adapting the M12-X-coded connectors for the specific applications in these target markets. Our connectors will be used in backbone communication structures with high data rates as well as in passenger infotainment systems.
“Mechanical robustness and fire safety of materials are particularly significant challenges. Binder addresses these by using new materials that are reliably processed in adapted manufacturing processes. These materials have been selected based on the criteria of EN 45545-2. Additional manufacturing steps are necessary to ensure that the quality standards and protection levels expected by our customers are met.”
