TE Connectivity / ERNI Industrial Automation Connector Solutions
TE Connectivity's ERNI Industrial Automation Connector Solutions enable a stable exchange of information or supply modules with electrical energy, are extremely reliable, and meet the important requirements of machine safety. Gold-plated contacts, a high normal force in the contact area, and two-leg contacts provide reliable contact closure and reliable contact throughout the entire life cycle of the systems. The connections are interference- and EMC-proof and offer high signal integrity with low bit error rates. Shielded solutions are also available which ensure a high level of confidence in the communication interfaces due to their interference immunity.Available in a wide range of variants such as Board-to-Board connectors and I/O connectors (with various degrees of protection), the ERNI Industrial Automation Connector Solutions enable versatile configurations, PCB arrangements, and spacings. Assembling the printed circuit boards, joining the assemblies, and field installation can be carried out efficiently and economically.

PLC, DCS, and Remote I/O Systems
TE Connectivity's ERNI deploys high-density miniaturized connectors that are both precise and reliable. Even in challenging environments, the industrial automation connectors ensure smooth operation in terms of the flow of data into and between programmable logic controllers (PLCs), central processing units (CPUs), input and output modules (I/Os), communication modules, and power supplies.
Drive Technology
TE Connectivity's ERNI connectors tackle crucial tasks and offer reliability and energy efficiency between connections and circuit boards. The components are able to transfer high levels of current and data in high-speed ranges. A high level of shock and vibration resistance ensures reliable operation even under challenging conditions, whether in the drives of assembly machines, production lines, machine tools, packaging machines, or industry and process automation. The portfolio of products includes SMC connector systems in different versions and the MicroCon connector systems with a space-saving grid.
Industry 4.0
TE Connectivity's ERNI connectors handle large volumes of information without issue and allow machines to exchange information reliably by supporting as the primary interconnect function within a system or I/O interface with ever-increasing demands on mechanical and electrical requirements even under extreme conditions. The available selection of connectors includes products for programmable logic controllers (PLC), distributed control systems (DCS), and input-output modules (I/O systems). This allows integration into a highly flexible industry based around full automation that is networked with suppliers, partners, markets, and customers. These connectors are produced according to specific needs and requirements.
Increased Productivity
TE Connectivity's ERNI Connectors play a crucial role in safety-related applications and enable production processes to run as smoothly as possible. These include condition monitoring or predictive maintenance systems that permanently monitor all processes and intervene in the controls when necessary, as well as those that forecast and schedule maintenance procedures before potential damage occurs. The industrial automation connectors from ERNI correspond to the latest production standards, meeting all requirements relating to machine safety and industrial security.
