TURCK's New Deutsch DT Connectors Feature Rugged Design for Mobile Equipment Use

To reduce installation time and increase reliability of Deutsch connectors, TURCK developed its new Deutsch DT series of overmolded connectors for the mobile equipment industry. The newly designed connectors ensure longevity in demanding environments where shock, vibration, cold temperature, moisture and oils can affect performance.

Deutsch connectors are widely used in the heavy equipment sector, and TURCK developed its two-wire, pin and socket DT connectors to address the environmental needs of the industry. The overmolded design, TPE jacketing and IP67 rating provide additional reinforcement, abrasion and oil resistance, and superior performance in a ready-to-use solution. The connectors are ideal for wiring harness assemblies in vehicles, agricultural and construction equipment, or any application that requires a cost effect quick disconnect solution.

TURCK Introduces Small-Scale Barrel Sensors Ideal for Tight Spaces

TURCK is proud to announce the addition of new 4mm and 5mm barrel sensors to its existing lineup. The new EG05K and EH04K are 15mm shorter than the standard EG05 and EH04, which allow the new offerings to be used in applications previously not possible. These more compact sensors will benefit the stamping industry, medical device manufacturing and any application where small sensors are a requirement.

The EG05K and EH04K are housed in a stainless steel barrel and come with a high flex TPU cable that can withstand harsh applications, including those involving corrosive chemicals. Offering a 1mm sensing range and full flush mounting, the EG05K and EH04K reduce the chance of damage while still offering the sensing range demanded. The EG05K and EH04K come equipped with a high visibility LED to provide users a visual indication of the sensor’s status.
