A connectivity solution oering high integration of data,
signal and power transmission in a circular hybrid design
according to the VARAN standard
TE Connectivity (TE) introduces the Circular Hybrid Connector
(CHC) with 8 power and 4 data contacts for Industrial Ethernet
Connections. The Circular Hybrid Connector has been designed
for machine automation applications that require a higher
performance data connection and power of up to 10 Amps.
The connector provides highly reliable connection technology and
meets the demanding durability and quality requirements of real-
time Ethernet applications in industrial automation. Combining
power supply and data into one single connector provides
customers with greater flexibility in machine architecture.
With VARAN-bus standard compatibility, the connector supports,
for example, fast change over times of molds in molding machines.
Simplified cabling reduces installation time by up to 50%.
Features and Benefits
