ETM Connectors for Mobile Automation

In recent years, the demands on electronic systems in mobile automation have risen significantly. Machines and vehicles operating under extreme environmental conditions require connections that are durable, robust, and resistant to external factors. Available starting January 2025, the ETM connectors from ESCHA are designed to meet precisely these requirements, making them indispensable across a wide range of applications.

Features of ETM Connectors

ETM connectors are distinguished by their high durability and resilience. They are crafted from high-quality materials that maintain reliable performance even under extreme conditions such as heat, cold, moisture, and vibration. Key features of the ETM series include:

• Water and Dust Resistance: ETM connectors meet IP67 and IP69K protection ratings, providing optimal protection against water, dust, and dirt. This makes them particularly suitable for outdoor applications.
• Temperature Resistance: They withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and are rated for temperatures ranging from -40°C to +90°C.
• Vibration and Shock Resistance: In mobile automation, connectors are frequently exposed to intense vibrations. ETM connectors offer high stability, thereby preventing unwanted connection interruptions.
• Compact Design: With a space-saving build, they can easily be integrated into confined installation areas.

Advantages of ETM Connectors

The robust construction and well-thought-out design of ETM connectors bring a variety of advantages:

• Durability and Reliability: Due to their material resistance and protective mechanisms, ETM connectors are long-lasting and require minimal maintenance, which significantly reduces operating costs.
• Easy Handling and Installation: Equipped with a click mechanism, these connectors are quick to assemble and disassemble, saving valuable time during maintenance.
• Versatile Applications: Whether in agricultural and construction machinery, commercial vehicles, or off-road vehicles, ETM connectors are suitable for nearly all types of mobile machines and vehicles.

Applications and Use Cases

Thanks to their specific benefits and features, ETM connectors are particularly well-suited for mobile automation. Here are some typical use cases:

1. Commercial and Agricultural Vehicles: Their high resistance to dirt and water makes ETM connectors ideal for agricultural vehicles exposed to daily dirt and weather conditions.
2. Construction and Off-Road Vehicles: ETM connectors ensure reliable connections that withstand the rugged conditions found on construction sites or rough terrains.
3. Heavy Transport Vehicles: Vibration, temperature fluctuations, and moisture are frequent challenges in this field, which ETM connectors easily overcome.
4. Emergency and Rescue Vehicles: In vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances, a fast and reliable connection is essential. The robust construction of ETM connectors ensures that critical systems remain fully operational at all times.

Conclusion

ESCHA ETM connectors meet the high demands of mobile automation, offering a safe and cost-efficient solution for connections in challenging environments. Their durable and compact design helps to minimize downtime and sustainably enhances efficiency in mobile automation.
