In industrial automation, connectors are often used in harsh environmental conditions. If the environment becomes complex, Bulgin's 900 Buccaneer connector family thrives and excels.

Bulgin's Buccaneer family is available in a wide range of connector pole configurations. The individual pins can carry 32 A and are rated for up to 600 V of alternating or direct current.

In some cases, derating is applied to the connectors. Further information on the relevant standardizations can be found in the figure below.

Various Contact Layouts and Cable Options

Industrial automation designers deploying the 900 Buccaneer connector are unconstrained by mechanical needs. The connectors accept a wide variety of cable types. For example, flex cables can be connected via the flex cable connector families, as shown in the figure below.

In terms of SKUs, ordering PX0911/03/P yields a three-pole plug for standard-dimension cables. If the plug should accommodate large cables, order SKU PXA911/03/P instead.

Bulgin, of course, also offers matching sockets. For the two connector types mentioned above, corresponding sockets can be ordered under SKUs PX0911/03/S and PXA911/03/S.

If a panel-mounted industrial connector is required instead, the Bulgin 900 series can also be deployed. In particular, the recommended connector presents itself as shown in the figure below.

For example, a designer seeking a three-pole panel-mountable plug can order SKU PX0931/03/S, while the socket version can be ordered via SKU PX0931/03/P. Finally, Bulgin offers a variety of value-added accessories, as shown in the figure below.

Conclusion

If an industrial application requires a highly robust connector, deploying the Bulgin 900 Series family is an excellent choice. The connector manufacturer provides a variety of pole options. Thanks to the high current-carrying capacity and excellent environmental sealing, industrial design can proceed without concern.
