Mencom Releases COB Series

Mencom, a provider of heavy duty multipole connectors, has released the COB (connector on board) series for integrating circuits into electronics, electronic machinery, control units, electric panels, control equipment and other industrial purposes.

ILME also offers a wide variety of connectors for use inside your electrical cabinet with their COB  series. The COB system does not need the traditional metallic enclosures to use multipole connectors inside electric panels, because protection is provided by the electric panel itself. Since there is no need for the degree of protection of outside the electric panel, the design is simple, easy to use, and geared for functionality. The COB system is very versatile thanks to the interchangeability of the connector inserts, a company press release states.

According to the company, the COB system offers the following advantages:

• Reduction in cost and space with respect to metallic enclosures and traditional terminal boards
• Possibility of rewiring at the connector bench with connected devices
• Easy wiring inspection and tests with coupled connectors, thanks to rear access to the inserts via the turnover device
• Fast mounting in panels thanks to the snap fastening device on the DINEN 60715 rails
• Sturdy support structure, specific to the size of each insert and does not require any preparation
• Broad passage for housing of conductor cables
• Mobile parts prearranged for the clamping of bundles of conductors of multipolar cables to prevent contact with the connector contacts
