In the fields of industrial automation, control systems, and equipment manufacturing, cables and connector components are the foundation for ensuring the long-term stable operation of the system. As a professional brand with a history of 40 years in the industrial control and interconnection field, Altech Corporation provides a rich range of connectors, cables, and terminal products, widely used in various scenarios such as equipment wiring, signal transmission, power distribution, and fieldbus connections.
An Overview of Altech Cable and Connector Components
Altech Corporation is an industrial automation supplier based in New Jersey, United States, offering products such as terminal blocks, DIN rail components, connectors, cable assemblies, and industrial enclosures. Their products meet UL and international standards requirements, and most of them comply with RoHS and REACH environmental regulations.
Altech's connection component products mainly include:
Connector and sensor cable: Used for electrical connections between field equipment and control systems, covering field wiring connectors, adapters, sensor/actuator cables, etc.
• DIN rail terminal and cable harness interface: Provides various types of DIN rail terminals, including screw clamp, spring clamp, and push-in terminals, greatly simplifying wiring operations inside control cabinets.
PCB connectors and welding terminals: Suitable for interconnection between circuit boards, supporting various types such as plug-in and fixed terminals.
These products are widely used in industrial control cabinets, machinery and equipment, power distribution units, sensor networks, and signal transmission modules, and are typical solutions for industrial cables and connectors.
Two, key points for wire harness and terminal selection
When selecting Altech industrial wiring harnesses and connection terminals, the following key factors should be considered:
Electrical parameter matching
When selecting cables and connectors, it is essential to ensure that the current and voltage ratings match the required load to avoid poor contact or equipment damage due to overloading.
Mechanical structure and assembly method
For DIN track installation, PCB insertion and removal, and on-site handheld wiring, Altech offers a variety of connection techniques including screws, spring clamps, and push-in types. Users should choose the most suitable assembly type according to their on-site maintenance and operation requirements.
• Environmental and Reliability Requirements
In harsh environments (such as high vibration, high humidity, and abundant dust), it is necessary to select connection components with vibration-resistant structures and high protection levels, while also paying attention to product certification and reliability standards.
Connection space and modularization requirements
In compact control cabinets and high-density wiring scenarios, it is advisable to prioritize smaller push-in or spring-loaded terminals to save space and improve wiring efficiency.
Section 3: Selection, Compatibility, and Domestic Alternative Solutions Reference and Recommendations
With the increasing demand for localization of industrial automation products, compatible and alternative solutions for Altech products have also emerged in the domestic market. When selecting, it is recommended to refer to the following content:
Standard specification matching
Like DIN track terminals, field-installable wiring connectors and other products, most of them conform to international general standards, therefore, it is possible to compare with domestically produced products of the same specification (such as rated current, rated voltage, wiring method and other technical parameters) for selection and verification.
Compatibility verification
For domestic products that need to be compatible with existing Altech terminals or cables, the mechanical compatibility of dimensions, interfaces, and locking mechanisms should be verified during the design phase to ensure reliable signal transmission and easy installation.
Substitute Brand Selection Strategy
In the domestic substitution solutions, suppliers with mature bulk supply capability,完善的质量保证体系and good after-sales service should be given priority. Some domestic terminal and field cable products have already been able to meet the performance requirements of most industrial automation projects.
Reliability and Cost Optimization
By comparing the cost, delivery advantages, and performance consistency of domestic products, provide a more competitive procurement solution for the project. It is recommended to conduct small-scale testing and verification in the initial stage, and gradually increase the replacement ratio after confirming the stability of performance.
Four, application scenarios and suggestions for industrial cables and terminal connectors
In scenarios such as control cabinet wiring, sensor connection with PLC, power distribution and interface with field actuators, Altech or its domestic compatible solutions can effectively meet the requirements. Whether it is DIN rail terminal, sensor cable, or PCB connector, it is recommended to design the overall solution in combination with the field environment, maintenance convenience, and procurement cycle to enhance the long-term reliability of the system.
Altech Corporation's wire harness, terminal, and connector products are widely used in industrial control and automation systems due to their stability, standardization, and extensive selection of matching options. Considering cable specifications, electrical parameters, and field conditions from multiple aspects, making good selection and compatibility replacement plans can not only improve product performance but also effectively control project costs and delivery cycles.
